U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today called on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to prioritize federal funds needed to implement the newly released “Nitrogen-Reduction Strategy” for the Long Island Sound. The EPA’s strategy outlines a coordinated effort to address and reduce low-oxygen zones within the Long Island Sound. Schumer today said that now that the strategy has been finalized, localities need access to federal funds so that the plan can swiftly move forward. Schumer explained that without federal funds, contamination could continue and nitrogen levels could continue to rise.
