• Nitrogen Control Program for Long Island Sound

  Each summer, the bottom waters in the western half of Long Island Sound experience hypoxia, or very low levels of dissolved oxygen. Extensive monitoring and modeling of Long Island Sound have identified the excessive discharge of nitrogen from human activities as the primary pollutant causing hypoxia. Nitrogen fuels the growth of algae in the Sound, which eventually decays, consuming oxygen in the process. There is enough nitrogen added by human activity to cause a hypoxia problem each summer.

• Reducing and Preventing Releases of PFAS-Containing Firefighting Foam

  One of the key pollution prevention recommendations in the State’s PFAS Action Plan was to discontinue use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam where possible. This page describes requirements of the 2021 Act Concerning the Use of Perfluoroalkyl or Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Class B Firefighting Foam, which includes efforts to develop a 'take back' program to recover PFAS-containing firefighting foam from municipalities, to identify PFAS-free foam replacements, and to develop guidance for decontaminating fire apparatus that previously contained PFAS-containing foam.
