Harckham, Levenberg Bill to Stop Radiological Wastewater Discharge into the Hudson Advances in Legislature--User Submitted — May 24, 2023

New York State Senator Pete Harckham

New York State Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg announced today that the legislation (S.6893/A.7208) they introduced to protect the Hudson Valley from the adverse and substantial economic impact resulting from the disposal of radiological agents by decommissioning nuclear power plants has passed through the Environmental Conservation Committee of both houses of the New York State Legislature.

The bill addresses the interests of communities along the Hudson River, which are highly concerned that radiological substances put into the river as part of the decommissioning process will have both short- and long-term effects on local real estate values and economic development.

“We have to protect the economic vitality of the communities alongside the Hudson River, which is the backbone of the region, every which way we can– this means being hyper-vigilant about any actions that could cause home and business owners to suffer economic distress,” said Harckham.
