Newsflash

    On Monday Sept. 13, 2011 a Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement for The Meadows project was released.    This project would develop over 800 units of multi-family housing, i.e. an apartment complex of over 800 units, and large amounts of comemrical office space and retail space in near proximity to the Carmans river.     This development would direct surface water runoff to stormwater retention ponds only 2300 feet from the river.  This is at the edge of the two year groundwater contributing area of the river and promises to further raise the level of nitrates beyond the current levels that are already unhealthy to aquatic communities!   See this master view of the project to get a full picture of what is being planned.  This project must be approved by the Town of Brookhaven in order to proceed.   Please contact your Brookhaven Town council member to let them know you are opposed to this project because of it's potential harm to the Carmans river!
