CLEAN WATER
Played an instrumental role in getting the governor to sign the strongest-in-the-nation fertilizer legislation into law (S-2554/A-2290). This will significantly reduce nutrient pollution in New Jersey waterways and Barnegat Bay in particular, one of the most extensive salt marsh ecosystems on the East Coast.
Letters to Senators
The Barrasso/Heller Amendment to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 2354) is bad news. It would permanently bar the Army Corps of Engineers from restoring longstanding Clean Water Act protections to water bodies throughout the country. This undermines the common-sense protections that Americans expect to ensure clean water for drinking, swimming and fishing. We have to stop it - and we will.
