New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio fired off a letter to New Jersey officials blasting the $225 million pollution settlement reached with Exxon Mobil, according to a report.

The de Blasio administration's letter to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection calls the agreement announced earlier this year, "wholly inadequate," NYTimes.com reported.

The letter was filed on Friday, the last day of the two-month public-comment period, the Times said.

In the letter, a lawyer for the New York City Corporation Council argues Newark Bay, Arthur Kill, Kill Van Kull and Upper New York Bay are still exposed to contamination from the Exxon facilities.

"The city believes that the proposed settlement, as drafted, does not adequately compensate for the extensive and well-documented natural resource damage caused by the Exxon facilities and does not ensure that those damages will be addressed," a portion of the letter reads, per the Times.

Environmentalists have also been critical of the settlement.

The agreement reached by Gov. Chris Christie's administration will be presented to a judge for approval.
