Today, Congressman Suozzi (D-Long Island, Queens) issued the following statement on the consent decree announced by the New York State DEC regarding the Navy Grumman Plume:
"This is a big victory for the people of Bethpage and for all of the people south of Bethpage that have been threatened by this plume for decades. I will continue to work with Bethpage and the surrounding water districts to ensure that the responsible parties follow through and that the funding is in place so they can continue to provide safe drinking water to all residents."
