"How Is the Water?" Report Released
August 9, 2011
Riverkeeper Team
Today we released our report on sewage contamination in the Hudson River Estuary, "How Is the Water?"
It was a big group effort - 5 years to collect the data and 5 months to write and release the report. I'm sure this will not be our last report on the sewage contamination we are battling. It's just another point in an ongoing conversation.
We were honored to be joined by New York State Senator Adriano Espaillat and New York State Assemblyman Thomas Abinanti. We will be working with both representatives on a Sewage Right to Know law for New Yorkers.
