The Commission must not make a determination on the Indian Point license transfer application until it addresses the financial and character concerns raised by Riverkeeper, the State, and others.
We need your help to prevent the state from evading its obligation to strengthen water quality criteria to protect public health.
Contact your U.S. congressional representative and ask them to cosponsor the Clean Water for All Act.
Urge state leaders to step up and do what the federal government cannot, or will not do: Reject the barriers. Protect the Hudson. Come up with real solutions that address flooding from sea level rise not just from storm surge.
American Rivers has named the Hudson among America’s Most Endangered Rivers, citing the grave threat that the potential construction of storm-surge barriers could pose to this rich tidal estuary.
Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and New York has committed to limiting impacts on these fish throughout the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge project. Riverkeeper is carefully monitoring the process, and we’ve retained the right to enforce the permit requirements designed to protect sturgeon if sturgeon are being harmed. Be watchful when visiting the river, and make timely and thorough reports if you observe a dead sturgeon.
Riverkeeper’s advocacy is paid for by people like you who care about protecting the Hudson River and our drinking water.
