County Executive Day Calls Court Ruling on Holtec a Travesty for the Hudson
Statement From County Executive Ed Day
New City, NY - “I am deeply disappointed in the federal court’s decision to strike down New York’s Save the Hudson Bill, determining that federal law preempts New York law, which protected the Hudson River from radioactive waste dumping.
Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed bald eagles, sturgeon, and even dolphins return to the Hudson — living proof of the river’s remarkable recovery and ongoing health. Allowing Holtec to discharge contaminated water would undo decades of progress and be nothing short of a travesty for our environment, our communities, and future generations.”
