Heinz, there is a similar problem for GE here in North Georgia. In Rome, on the Coosa river GE had a "large oil-filled transformer" plant that closed completely in the 90's but as recently as the 70's was in full scale operation and dumping PCB laced transformer oil in the river and after enforcement of the 1970 clean air and water act into the river still via the Rome city sewer.

There has been a big fuss about it for years and is doubly complicated as the Coosa flows across the state line into Alabama just a few miles downstream. I don't know how the size of the problem compares to the one on the Hudson but in a way probably affects more people in their drinking water; after all NYC gets its water supply from up state, not from the Hudson.

Could it be the political clout of all those dems in NYC?
