Paul Tonko: “Every life and every job in this country depends on clean water. We must protect this precious resource and not throw…”

Mr. Tonko's bill would create a new program specifically for what it defines as the New York-New Jersey Watershed.

The bill balances the need for data center development without pushing those costs onto consumers.

The Hudson River is the nation's largest Superfund site. Hazardous waste and legacy chemicals remain unacceptably high, threatening the health and safety of ecosystems, wildlife, and human health throughout the entire Watershed.

Our water resources serve as sources of drinking water for millions of people, provide habitats for more than 200 fish species, and support critical outdoor recreation and tourism industries.
