The New York State Legislature passed the Sewage Pollution Right to Know Act (A.10585A Sweeney / S.6268D Grisanti). The bill calls for increased notification to local health departments, media, and residents after sewage discharges, including the time and location of the discharge, as well as any measures taken to clean up or reduce the impact of the discharge. The bill is currently awaiting Governor Cuomo's approval and signature. For full story, click here. For more information, visit NY’s Riverkeeper’s webpage.
