In areas where there are more impervious surfaces, such as parking lots, streets, and roofs, water from storms and even light rain can flow quickly and directly into a storm drain system. This water flow, called runoff, transports a wide variety of pollutants (such as sediments, excess nutrients, bacteria, and toxic man-made chemicals) into nearby streams, rivers, and the Harbor. This type of pollution, often difficult to control, is called Nonpoint Source Pollution (NSP). NSP can cause the destruction of fish and macroinvertebrate habitats, promote the growth of excessive and unwanted algal blooms that Infrastructure Pollution Sources Inputs contribute to hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) Storm water pipe Oil Bacteria events in Long Island Sound, and introduce Sewer pipe Pet waste Nutrients dangerous chemicals into local waterways.

  • East Norwalk Historical Walks
    EAST NORWALK HISTORICAL WALKS Whenever you are in East Norwalk or the Calf Pasture Beach area you are surrounded by locations important in Norwalk history. For thousands of years the native American Indians lived here. They built their dwellings along the shoreline. Since their dwellings were surrounded by a stockade for defense against warlike tribes, early Europeans called the Indians' living area a Fort. They lived on the bounties of the sea, the local environment which teamed with wildlife and also planted corn. In 1614, Adriaen Block, a navigator from the Netherlands, whose ship the Restless was sailing along the Connecticut Coast trading with the Indians, recorded his visit to what he called "The Archipelago". His written record was the first mention of what we know as the Norwalk Islands. The Pequot Wars (1637-1638) brought Colonial Soldiers close to this area and the final battle of the war was fought in what is called the Sasqua swamp, an area now part of Fairfield, CT at the Southport line. Two of the leaders of these soldiers, Roger Ludlow and Daniel Partrick were impressed by the potential of the area and independently purchased land from the Indians in 1640/1641. Ludlow bought the land between the Saugatuck River and the middle of the Norwalk River (approximately 15,777 acres) and Partrick bought the land from the middle of the Norwalk River east to the Five-Mile River. Neither one, so far as we know, ever lived on the land that they purchased. A monument to Roger Ludlow is within the traffic circle at the junction of Calf Pasture Beach Road and Gregory Boulevard.
