There is some poetic justice there.
According to the agency’s website, state regulations give the DEC “jurisdiction over waste material which is to be beneficially used.”
The spreading of gas brine in Pittsfield by a firm called Al-Kleen Inc. of Earleville was permitted by the DEC in 2010, according to state records.

weird how most of the commenters think that “gas well brine” = salt water. or perhaps it’s just a an interesting use of the word “brine.”
