Hochul demands EPA speed up Niagara-Erie radiological review: "no acute risks" but 100+ properties flagged
Hochul sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin demanding the federal government expedite analysis of radiological-contamination data in Niagara and Erie counties, where aerial surveys flagged at least 100 properties tied to Manhattan Project-era waste. She says there are no acute public risks now but that families should not wait "months or years" for answers.
