Schneiderman today highlighted the disastrous impacts President Trump\u2019s proposed budget cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could have across New York State.<\/p>\n<p>Standing along the Gowanus Canal, which is a designated federal Superfund site, Attorney General Schneiderman highlighted how the significant loss of EPA funding and reduction in the agency\u2019s staffing levels would potentially slow, halt, or even reverse environmental protection throughout the state. Under President Trump\u2019s proposed budget \u201cblueprint\u201d released last Thursday, the EPA would face some of the steepest cuts, as funding for the agency would be reduced by 31 percent or $2.6 billion \u2013 bringing the EPA\u2019s budget to $5.7 billion, its lowest level in 40 years when adjusted for inflation, and eliminating more than 50 programs and 3,200 jobs.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump&#8217;s proposed budget cuts would have a devastating impact on New York \u2013 delaying and obstructing environmental projects around the state,\u201d said Attorney General Schneiderman. \u201cDecades of hard work have helped clean up New York&#8217;s air, water, and environment. But President Trump&#8217;s budget threatens to unravel those gains and send us back to the bad old days of choking smog and rampant pollution. As we&#8217;ve made clear:\u00a0if the Trump administration won&#8217;t meet its legal obligations to ensure basic access to a clean, safe, and healthy environment, we won&#8217;t hesitate to act to protect New Yorkers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s proposed EPA budget cuts include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A 45% cut in Categorical Grants to states that help develop and implement various water, air, waste, pesticides, and toxic substances programs.<\/li>\n<li>A 50% reduction in the EPA\u2019s Office of Research and Development.<\/li>\n<li>The total elimination of the $427 million funding of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and other geographic programs.<\/li>\n<li>The total elimination of funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and \u201crelated efforts,\u201d totaling $100 million<\/li>\n<li>A 43% reduction in Superfund site cleanup funding.<\/li>\n<li>A 30% decrease in the EPA\u2019s enforcement and compliance budget.<\/li>\n<li>The total elimination of funding for 50 EPA programs totaling $347 million, including Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program, created in 1992, designed to identify energy-efficient, cost-saving home appliances, lighting, and electronics for consumers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The proposed 43 percent cut in Superfund site cleanup funding could potentially translate to a reduction in staffing and administrative funding \u2013 and undermine the agency\u2019s ability to perform vital oversight and management of cleanups \u2013 potentially slowing or even halting the vital progress made at the 85 federal Superfund sites across New York State.\u00a0These sites include the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn; Newtown Creek in Queens\/Brooklyn; the former Wolff-Alport Chemical Company in Ridgewood, Queens; New Cassell\/Hicksville groundwater contamination site in Nassau County and Dewey Loeffel landfill in Rensselaer County; Wappinger Creek in Dutchess County; Black River PCBs site in Jefferson County, Eighteen Mile Creek in Niagara County; and many others.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2016, EPA officially proposed to adding the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Site in Hoosick Falls to the Superfund list. Groundwater at the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics facility, located at 14 McCaffrey Street, is contaminated with Perfluorooctanoic Acid. The proposed blueprint budget cuts may mean that EPA will not designate Hoosick Falls as federal Superfund site. If Hoosick Falls is declared a Superfund site, significant questions remain whether it will have the staff and resources necessary to effectively and timely address this critical public health threat.<\/p>\n<p>The budget also flat-funds state drinking water and wastewater grants; yet over the next 15 years, New York will need $39 billion to maintain its drinking water infrastructure and over $35 billion to maintain its wastewater treatment infrastructure. Nearly 95% of all New Yorkers receive water from public water supply systems, and over 1,600 municipalities are served by wastewater treatment facilities. Without essential funding, municipalities will be hard-strapped to finance and ensure the safety of their drinking water supplies \u2013 potentially jeopardizing the health of millions of New Yorkers.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, President Trump\u2019s budget wholly eliminates funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which is one of the most widely supported, bipartisan, and successful pieces of legislation in Great Lakes history. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has been critical in improving and protecting the health of these bodies of water, which support over 150,000 local jobs and have spurred millions in other investments.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the proposed budget makes dramatic cuts to climate change programs and research, which imperils not just water quality and infrastructure but the air quality and overall health, safety, and welfare of all New Yorkers and Americans. In 2011, Hurricane Irene in 2011 dumped more than 11 inches of rain on the Hudson Valley, eastern Adirondacks, Catskills, and Champlain Valley in just 24 hours, causing 31 counties to be declared disaster areas. Furthermore, an analysis by the Attorney General\u2019s office found that the warming of the ocean and the higher sea level expanded the flooding of Superstorm Sandy by about 25 square miles and flooded the homes of an additional 80,000 people in New York and New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Attorney General Schneiderman\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/links.govdelivery.com\/track?type=click&amp;enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwMzIxLjcxMzYyMzExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDMyMS43MTM2MjMxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTEyMTYwJmVtYWlsaWQ9bWFyZ29AbTNwbWVkaWEuY29tJnVzZXJpZD1tYXJnb0BtM3BtZWRpYS5jb20mdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&amp;&amp;&amp;100&amp;&amp;&amp;https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/ets_budget_letter_3.9.17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/links.govdelivery.com:80\/track?type%3Dclick%26enid%3DZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwMzIxLjcxMzYyMzExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDMyMS43MTM2MjMxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTEyMTYwJmVtYWlsaWQ9bWFyZ29AbTNwbWVkaWEuY29tJnVzZXJpZD1tYXJnb0BtM3BtZWRpYS5jb20mdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY%3D%26%26%26100%26%26%26https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/ets_budget_letter_3.9.17.pdf&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1490581188488000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFoyqdLloepaz8OUitNbo5UI7g8GA\">sent a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt<\/a>,\u00a0highlighting the impact of reported EPA budget cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Schneiderman has also led coalitions of attorneys general in opposing the Trump administration&#8217;s environmental rollbacks, including <a href=\"http:\/\/links.govdelivery.com\/track?type=click&amp;enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwMzIxLjcxMzYyMzExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDMyMS43MTM2MjMxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTEyMTYwJmVtYWlsaWQ9bWFyZ29AbTNwbWVkaWEuY29tJnVzZXJpZD1tYXJnb0BtM3BtZWRpYS5jb20mdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&amp;&amp;&amp;101&amp;&amp;&amp;https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/new-york-ag-schneiderman-leads-coalition-states-opposing-pres-trumps-vehicle-emission\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/links.govdelivery.com:80\/track?type%3Dclick%26enid%3DZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwMzIxLjcxMzYyMzExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDMyMS43MTM2MjMxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTEyMTYwJmVtYWlsaWQ9bWFyZ29AbTNwbWVkaWEuY29tJnVzZXJpZD1tYXJnb0BtM3BtZWRpYS5jb20mdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY%3D%26%26%26101%26%26%26https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/new-york-ag-schneiderman-leads-coalition-states-opposing-pres-trumps-vehicle-emission&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1490581188488000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG4aSUgFCro3PMlrdMXffb9CaqnJQ\">fighting back against the administration&#8217;s weakening of vehicle emission standards<\/a>;

Nydia M. Vel\u00e1zquez (D-NY).\u00a0\u201cSlashing these programs will be devastating for our nation, our City and the public health. We must speak with one voice in collectively opposing the Trump Budget\u2019s deep cuts to our nation\u2019s foremost environmental agency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency are absolutely unacceptable and should be opposed across party lines, demographics and generations. We all depend on the work the EPA does to protect our environment both in its efforts to limit the effects of climate change and simply keep our water, air and land clean. In my district, EPA funding has been absolutely vital in cleaning up the Gowanus Canal after years of neglect. This work cannot be taken for granted and we should all be alarmed by efforts to slash the EPA\u2019s funds,\u201d said State Senator Velmanette Montgomery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Trump administration&#8217;s proposed budget cuts to vital services and agencies are even more devastating than\u00a0anyone could have anticipated. Proposed cuts to the EPA budget\u00a0would have serious environmental and public health consequences on communities like ours in Brooklyn, where the\u00a0Gowanus Canal\u00a0was added\u00a0to the Superfund program\u2019s priority list because of its\u00a0historic levels of\u00a0contamination,&#8221; said Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon. &#8220;Thanks to Attorney General Schneiderman for his leadership on this issue which is critical to ensuring that New York is safe and clean for future generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Council Member Costa Constantinides, Chair of the Council&#8217;s Environmental Protection Committee, said, \u201cThe Trump administration&#8217;s proposed 30% budget cut to the Environmental Protection Agency, the largest cut to any agency, will have devastating effects in New York and across our country. \u00a0The cuts are a direct attack on our country&#8217;s ability to combat climate change and protect public health. \u00a0Decreased funding to renewable energy programs and regulating emissions will lead to more pollution and public health risks associated with low air quality including high asthma rates. Despite what this administration pretends, climate change is real and a threat to our country. \u00a0New York will to continue as a role model on environmental protection by fighting for more rigorous emissions standards and by encouraging use of renewable energy. \u00a0I thank Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for his leadership on this important public health issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s complete disregard for our environment, safety, and futures are evident in his egregious proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency,\u201d said Council Member Brad Lander from District 39. \u201cThe EPA\u2019s Gowanus Superfund cleanup will dredge toxic sludge, reduce combined sewer overflows, and restore habitat in the Gowanus Canal. We have the opportunity to move from a tarnished legacy of two centuries of industrial pollution, to a community that reduces its impact on the planet. These proposed cuts might threaten our opportunity to do this &#8212; and beyond that, these cuts will affect our overall ability to protect clean water sources, clean air, and livable environments. \u00a0This is why we must condemn the Trump Administration for their baseless attacks and rally our support behind the EPA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis budget is a raw deal for New Yorkers. Drastic cuts to the EPA, from staff reductions, program eliminations, to the Superfund program, will have a chilling effect on New York just at the time when real progress is being made to restore the city\u2019s vulnerable waterways,\u201d said Paul Gallay, Hudson Riverkeeper. \u201cIn Brooklyn and Queens, the cleanups of Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek, with a century-old history of oil, coal tar, raw sewage, and toxic industrial\u00a0pollution dumping, would be threatened. We must stand together to protect progress in environmental remediation, restoration, and resiliency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe salute AG Schneiderman for standing up to protect New Yorkers&#8217; health and safety,\u201d saidRoland Lewis, President and CEO, Waterfront Alliance.\u00a0\u201cThe White House\u2019s reckless budget blueprint slashes nearly 30 percent from the EPA, which would have devastating environmental and economic consequences for the New York metropolitan region. By hampering the implementation of Superfund and brownfield cleanup programs and eliminating necessary research on our changing climate, these cuts would not only have adverse impacts to human health, but also suffocate the urban\u00a0renaissance\u00a0that environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act and others have helped shepherd.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massive EPA budget cuts threaten to delay and obstruct New York environmental projects Schneiderman: If The Trump Administration Can&#8217;t Meet Its Legal Obligation To Ensure A Clean, Safe, And Healthy Environment, I Won&#8217;t Hesitate To Act To Protect New Yorkers Attorney General Eric T.
