A veteran New York City Department of Environmental Protection engineer died in a raw sewage boat explosion on the Hudson River May 25. The 59-year-old chief marine diesel engineer, Raymond Feige, was thrown into the water and trapped between the vessel and the pier at the North River Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility. The cause of the blast is currently under investigation.
DEP Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala remembered Feige as a beloved and respected colleague who dedicated over three decades to the department's marine section. His work, though often unseen by the public, was crucial to the city's operations.
