New York Environmental Plan Urges Statewide Zoning
A 91 page environmental master plan from New York State proposes statewide land use zoning water quality and flood control in addition to clean air standards and wildlife management. It sets public hearings July 9 to 12 and envisions land use categories along rural suburban and urban development paths. The plan also calls for wastewater systems where septic tanks fail and a statewide water quality monitoring network. It seeks emission testing auto safety inspections and certified mechanics for anti pollution devices while expanding fish and wildlife monitoring and habitat preservation. Tax increases on autos and gasoline and limited electric rate discounts aim to curb energy waste along with insulation standards for buildings.
