Standing at Unico Park in Newburgh, NY, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today urged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to immediately update the current nautical charts of the Hudson River. Schumer said the current charts used by oil tankers and oil ship captains navigating the waters of the Hudson were created using outdated technology, more than 115 years ago, and no longer accurately represent the channels up and down the Hudson River. Schumer said these charts are dangerously outdated and could result in a devastating oil spill in the Hudson River, particularly with over 25 million gallons of crude oil per week being shipped down and gasoline being shipped up the river.
