Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project First Year Progress Report First Year Progress Report May 2013 A Personal Message From New York State Senator Lee M. Zeldin The release of the 1st Edition of the Proposal Book on April 29, 2012, was an important step forward for the Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project. The proposals found in its pages contained practical and attainable solutions to the critical challenges facing our community. I am pleased to report that during the last 12 months, we have witnessed important victories in enacting our goals. This progress is undoubtedly the result of the cooperative action between our community’s public officials and committed civic leaders in attaining support and investments for these important proposals. As a Tri-Hamlet resident, I am grateful for the dedication of our fellow Tri-Hamlet Community elected officials and all of the other leaders involved during this successful first year of the Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project. I see a future that is bright for the Tri-Hamlet. I have the utmost confidence that our shared efforts will ensure our continued success and growth as a community. Sincerely, Senator Lee M. Zeldin 1 | P a g e STATEMENTS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS The nexus between infrastructure investment and economic development is clear and should be encouraged at all levels of government. Our roadways, rail and transit facilities, water infrastructure and coastal resources are fundamental to the long-term economic viability of our communities and small businesses. As a member of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee in the House of Representatives, I support efforts to increase funding for infrastructure improvements and I will continue to advocate for additional investments in the Tri- Hamlet area. During my tenure in Congress I have worked hard to address the needs of the Tri- Hamlet area with projects including the Forge River, Mastic roadway improvements and an evacuation study of the William Floyd Peninsula. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow elected officials and members of the community to create the quality of life that we all deserve. Tim Bishop United States Congressman The Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project is proof of what can be accomplished when communities work together. Lasting community change means improving lives by identifying the root cause of problems and then working together to create solutions. The future is bright for the Tri-Hamlet region. Ken LaValle New York State Senator The Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project is, in essence, a blueprint for the future of the Tri-Hamlet area. A blueprint for enhancing and improving the assets that already exist. The projects and initiatives included in this plan are ones which are sound and have been vetted at length by various work groups and stakeholders. The overwhelming support and involvement from the community in this initiative is a testament to Senator Zeldin's dedication and understanding of the community's needs. I must commend Senator Zeldin for spearheading this grassroots effort and look forward to seeing these projects through to implementation. Fred W. Thiele, Jr. New York State Assemblyman 2 | P a g e From colonial times to the present day, the Tri-Hamlet area has been a special place on Long Island. I am proud to have partnered with Senator Zeldin and the rest my Tri-Hamlet elected officials on the Tri-Hamlet Project. I look forward to working to implement this comprehensive Project. The Tri-Hamlet community is located on the beautiful South Shore and is made up of a diverse population of working class citizens. The potential for our area is endless, but we face many challenges that must be overcome in order to realize this potential. It is going to take all levels of government working together in a bi-partisan fashion to meet these lofty goals. Whether it be the improvement of our quality of life, enhanced public safety, economic development or simply a better perception for our communities, the Tri-Hamlet Project is a step in the right direction and has brought all stakeholders to the table. I look forward to seeing our ambitious plan come to fruition and am committed to working with my colleagues and constituents to see that it does. Kate Browning Suffolk County Legislator Some of the most important issues affecting our communities deal directly with the resident's quality of life. These issues include but are not limited to the maintenance of our roads and parks but also, the maintenance of individual properties in our neighborhoods. For far too long absentee landlords have been allowed to maintain properties well below acceptable community standards. The hallmark of our efforts in combating suburban slumlords is to include the input of concerned residents to gather tips and information in our investigations. We also work cooperatively with every level of government to assist in investigating possible fraud and abuse of taxpayer funded subsidies. Dan Panico Brookhaven Deputy Supervisor/Councilman 3 | P a g e The Village of Mastic Beach is on the Mastic Peninsula extending into Moriches Bay. Our village is an extraordinary community with amazing waterfront views of great beauty, historical sites, and wonderful people. The Village Trustees and myself looks forwards to working with our fellow elected officials and our neighboring communities towards the enhancement of the Mastic Peninsula. Mayor Village of Mastic Beach 4 | P a g e Recovering from Superstorm Sandy The Tri-Hamlet Community Rallies in the Face of Adversity On October 29, 2012, the Tri-Hamlet Community experienced its strongest storm in decades. Superstorm Sandy devastated Long Island, with our community being among the hardest hit. Our neighbors and loved ones were flooded out of their homes, left wondering how and when they can return. But in the face of adversity, this community did not come undone— instead, we rallied together to help out our neighbors in need and picked ourselves up by the bootstraps and began to rebuild. We all rose to the challenge together as we weathered the storm and started to recover. Our efforts in the storm’s immediate aftermath brought the arrival of National Guard and Army Reserve Troops and vehicles, New York State Police units, Suffolk County and Town emergency response units, and the American Red Cross, among others. As we still recover, we now look to rebuild. The recovery will not happen overnight but with our continued collaboration and hard work, the Tri-Hamlet Community will be stronger and more resilient than ever. This project was founded before the devastating storm; however, it was by members of this community who have lived through storms before and are no strangers to difficult times. Perhaps the silver-lining of Superstorm Sandy, is the proof that the residents of this community and members of this Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project can come together and will in times of need.

The majority of its residents live on the Mastic Peninsula, bordered by the waterways of the Forge River on the east, Carmen’s River on the west, and the Narrows connecting the Great South Bay and Moriches Bay on the south. Across the Narrows is Smith Point County Park with the Fire Island National Seashore and Wilderness extending to the west. Many beautiful natural vistas of water, land, and sky are visible throughout the “Tri-Hamlet” Community. The community is rich in Revolutionary War history with the William Floyd Estate, the grave of an early Revolutionary War General, and the site of the only American military victory during the war on Long Island. The “Tri-Hamlet” is also home to the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge, and the only shrine to Saint Jude in the New York Metropolitan area. Founded in 1832, the William Floyd School District is a source of pride and unity, and employs many “Tri-Hamlet” residents. There are countless treasures throughout the community, but there are also many challenges. The “Tri-Hamlet Renaissance Project” Proposal Book was first issued on April 29, 2012. This project represents the combined efforts of elected officials and community leaders who formed the following Work Groups: Infrastructure Economic Development Real Estate Quality of Life Public Safety Marketing After a year of hard work, there has been important progress made on the initial proposals. 6 | P a g e Section I INFRASTRUCTURE Work Group Chairperson: Michael Leonardi Work Group Members: Ray Keenan Larry Tellefsen Ed DeGennaro Development of a comprehensive infrastructure improvement plan is one of the greatest challenges facing the Tri-Hamlet area. Household density (more than 55,000 people living in almost 17,000 households) is creating an ever-increasing burden on the infrastructure and environment of our community. The initial task of the Infrastructure Work Group was to identify infrastructure problems affecting the community. Their assignment was to “be creative” and provide real solutions to our community’s infrastructure challenges. Infrastructure Work Group Proposals Proposal #1 – Create Diversified Sewer District Authority Time Frame for Proposal Completion – 36 to 48 months Proposal #2 – Modernize Business District Sewer System Time Frame for Proposal Completion – 72 months Proposal #3 – Improve On-Site Sewage Treatment Time Frame for Proposal Completion – 36 to 48 months Proposal #4 – Construct Residential STEP Sewer System Time Frame for Proposal Completion – more than 10 years Proposal #5 – Construct Permanent Long Island Railroad Crossing Time Frame for Proposal Completion – more than 60 months Proposal #6 – Promote Alternative Routes to Montauk Highway Time Frame for Proposal Completion – 12 – 24 months Progress on Proposal Implementation The 6 proposals developed by the Infrastructure Work Group were designed to address the waste water management and traffic congestion challenges of the community.

Lee Dennison Building - 4th Floor 100 Veterans Memorial Highway P.O. Box 6100 Hauppauge, New York 11788 DeWitt S. Davies, Ph.D. Chief Environmental Analyst Duck Farm Industry Impacts on the Environment Introduction As documented in the historical overview section, the duck farm industry in Suffolk County was an extremely intensive land use along stream and bay shorelines. Inventory work by the Department of Planning indicates that approximately 2,000 acres of upland property and almost 20 miles of shoreline along freshwater creeks/rivers and estuary tributaries – primarily in the Towns of Brookhaven, Riverhead and Southampton – were utilized during the last century in Suffolk County for duck production. The impacts of duck farming were dramatic, both on-site and off-site. Extensive landform alterations were made to construct animal pens, feed lots and swim ponds, which were often located in or directly adjacent to streams/coves of the bays. Waste effluent discharges from the farms created thick organic matter deposits, degraded water quality and altered phytoplankton and benthic population in near-by surface waters. Duck Farms – An Intensive Land Use The significance of the impacts is reflected by the magnitude of the industry and the waste load generated. Effluent waste loadings from the farms in the form of suspended solids, nutrients and coliform bacteria were huge, especially prior to the required use of treatment technology under water pollution control laws.

    The Forge River, Problem Identification A report prepared for the Town of Brookhaven Long Island, New York by R.L. Swanson, B. Brownawell, and C. O’Connell School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Stony Brook University September 2009 The Forge River, Problem Identification The Problem The Forge River is a small, partially mixed estuary discharging into Moriches Bay, a part of the Long Island south shore lagoonal system. The tidal portion of the river is 4 K (3.2 nautical mile) long that ends abruptly at Montauk Highway which serves as a dam. Two freshwater ponds (East Pond and West Pond) continuously discharge to the tidal Forge at this location. The surface watershed of the river is 43.06 km2 (10.641 acres). About 20 percent of the watershed is in the deep groundwater recharge zone (Zone III). During the summer months, the water in the Forge has experienced polluted1 conditions as evidenced by fish and crab kills, foul odors, rotting algal debris in the water, and sections of the river have sporadically turned milky white. These symptoms were especially severe during the summer of 2005 and the river has remained in a deteriorated state ever since. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Suffolk County, and the Town of Brookhaven have set an agenda to determine the causes of pollution and to identify potential remediation measures in the Forge River. Investigators at Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) were initially charged with ________________________________________________ 1 Marine pollution – “the introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy to the marine environment resulting in deleterious effects such as: hazards to humans, health; hindrance of marine activities, including fishing, .

  • The Status and Distribution of the River Otter (Lontra Canadensis) on Long Island, New York
    The Status and Distribution of the River Otter (Lontra canadensis) on Long Island, New York Otter with Golden Shiner at St.John’s Pond, Oyster Bay, December 2008. Robert Sendlein Photo. Submitted by: Mike Bottini, Wildlife Biologist 631-267-5228 [email protected] March 1, 2009 ABSTRACT Historically, river otters (Lontra canadensis) were found on many of Long Island’s waterways: fresh and salt water ponds, creeks, embayments on the island’s north and south shores, as well as the Peconic River and Estuary on the island’s eastern end. In the 1800s, several factors (unregulated trapping, water pollution, and habitat loss) caused a dramatic decline in otter populations throughout its range in North America and local extirpations in many areas, including Long Island. Conservation laws enacted in the early 1900s enabled remnant otter populations to expand and re-colonize former habitat. Little is known about the current status and distribution of river otters on Long Island, a region that poses formidable challenges for the natural re-colonization of extirpated wildlife because of its geographic location and development patterns. An informational flyer was distributed to natural resource and park staff, local media, and the general public to solicit data on otter sightings and roadkills. This data, along with historical information and knowledge of otter habits, was used to map 144 potential otter latrine sites on Long Island. Each potential latrine site was surveyed during the winter (January through March) of 2008. Twenty-seven sites were documented as active otter latrine sites, with one cluster of sites near the western end of the island exhibiting evidence of successful breeding.
