Please Help to Save Stony Brook Harbor
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Can you spare two minutes to stop the pollution of Stony Brook Harbor?
Scientists have warned that the location of Gyrodyne’s proposed sewer treatment plant would increase nitrogen pollution in Stony Brook Harbor.
Stony Brook Harbor has already been placed on the 303d list of impaired water bodies by the DEC and EPA.
That’s why Suffolk County’s historic Subwatersheds Plan calls for a 37% reduction in nitrogen in Stony Brook Harbor.
Unfortunately, there has been no environmental review of the impact the sewer plant would have on Stony Brook Harbor.
That’s not right – that’s why elected officials and people who care are asking Suffolk County’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to review Gyrodyne’s application.

COOPERATIVE EFFORTS TO PRESERVE FLOWERFIELD FAIRGROUNDS CONTINUE!
The Peconic Land Trust, New York State DEC, and Suffolk County are continuing their ongoing efforts to acquire the undeveloped portion of the Gyrodyne property for preservation as open space. DEC’s offer to Gyrodyne to purchase the property for fair market value has not been rejected, and the Peconic Land Trust continues to discuss approaches to complete the acquisition with State DEC and County officials. There may be an important role that citizens who care can play through financial contributions to help make preservation happen. If you are interested in discussing ways that you can help, please contact the Coalition for more information – stjameshohnpc@gmail.com
