BINGHAMTON – U.S. Rep. Michael Arcuri, NY-24, will ask the federal Environmental Protection Agency at a public meeting tomorrow to amend a proposal that would limit the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment flowing from New York’s waterways into the Chesapeake Bay.

Chenango County farmers and public officials say the EPA’s draft Total Maximum Daily Load restrictions would put all but 2 percent of the county’s farmers out of businesses, and also threaten sewage treatment plant operators, construction contractors and public works departments.
