Aging and dilapidated sewage treatment plants (STPs) jeopardize human health, close beaches, harm fish and wildlife, and cost taxpayers and municipalities millions of dollars.  Funded by the Long Island Community Foundation, Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) releases the first Long Island Sewage Report Card. In a comprehensive review, CCE researched and analyzed 10 large sewage treatment plants across Long Island. This report includes identified problems, resources needed, emerging threats, funding recommendations for each site, and identifies the benefits for an Island-wide wastewater system.

Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) empowers communities and advocates solutions for our shared environment and public health and is supported by over 80,000 members throughout New York State and Connecticut. www.citizenscampaign.org.
