  • Benjamin Tallmadge Trail Guide.P65
    Suffolk County Council, BSA The Benjamin Tallmadge Historic Trail Suffolk County Council, BSA Brookhaven, New York The starting point of this Trail is the Town of Brookhaven parking lot at Cedar Beach just off Harbor Beach Road in Mount Sinai, NY. Hikers can be safely dropped off at this loca- tion. 90% of this trail follows Town roadways which closely approximate the original route that Benjamin Tallmadge and his contingent of Light Dragoons took from Mount Sinai to the Manor of St. George in Mastic. Extreme CAUTION needs to be observed on certain heavily traveled roads. Some Town roads have little or no shoulders at all. Most roads do not have sidewalks. Scouts should hike in a single line fashion facing the oncoming traffic. They should be dressed in their Field Uniforms or brightly colored Class “B” shirt. This Trail should only be hiked in the daytime hours. Since this 21 mile long Trail is designed to be hiked over a two day period, certain pre- arrangements must be made. The overnight camping stay can be done at Cathedral Pines County Park in Middle Island. Applications must be obtained and submitted to the Suffolk County Parks Department. On Day 2, the trail veers off Smith Road in Shirley onto a ser- vice access road inside the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge for about a mile before returning to the neighborhood roads. As a courtesy, the Wertheim Refuge would like a letter three weeks in advance informing them that you will be hiking on their property. There are no water sources along this hike so make sure you pack enough.

At that time, there were only about first Anglo settlement on the south shore of Brookhaven 100 families living in what was then locally called Town. In 1678, Samuel Dayton had a homestead Brookhaven Village – roughly the triangle created by approximately where today’s Washington Lodge is along South Country, Beaver Dam and Old Stump Roads and South Country Road. Thomas Rose, whose well-kept their side streets. So, with oil lamps for light and stoves for heat, the residents of our “village” banded together to form the Brookhaven Improvement Society to deal with the issues du jour. The name “Improvement Society” came from the desire to give prizes to the best-kept premises, but this turned out to be the least of its endeavors. After beginning with the acquisition of private property to extend Beaver Dam Road to the Carmans River and having a community dock and gazebo built there, the Society turned its efforts to buying and planting trees throughout the Hamlet, naming the streets, seeing to it that the school building was safe and in good condition, establishing a fire Marty Van Lith department and ambulance family cemetery is on Jared’s Path, registered his cattle’s company, pressuring the Town to keep up with earmarks with the Town in 1700.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my major advisor, Dr. Lee Herrington, for his support, sense of humor, and sense of adventure. Secondly, I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. Laura Lautz, Dr. Russell Briggs and Dr. John Stella for their support and feedback. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Laura Lautz for her tremendous guidance with both the chemistry and modeling analyses, and for allowing me to use the ion chromatograph. I would also like to thank the “Hydro Group”, specifically Rosemary Fanelli, Ginny Collins and Jamie Ong for their friendship and support. My research would not have been possible without Rosemary. Rosemary assisted me in the field and was a master at using the GPS. She was willing to camp out on Long Island, and retrieve storm water samples at all hours of the night.

  • Report on Water Level Monitoring in the Vicinity of the Brookhaven Landfill, 2014
    Report on Water Level Monitoring in the Vicinity of the Brookhaven Landfill, 2014 David J. Tonjes Department of Technology and Society Stony Brook University Abstract Water level measurements were made four times in the fall 2014 in the vicinity of the Town of Brookhaven landfill (Brookhaven hamlet, Long Island, New York) to re-establish a long-standing comprehensive monitoring program. Water table maps constructed from these data indicated that flow in the Upper Glacial aquifer was consistently from northwest to southeast. Water levels were lower than is often seen. Flows in the Upper Glacial aquifer appear to increase in velocity close to Beaverdam Creek, and slow between the salt water reaches of Beaverdam Creek and Carmans River. This suggests that most discharge from the Upper Glacial aquifer is to the fresh portions of Beaverdam Creek, Little Neck Run, and Yaphank Creek, along with portions of tidal Beaverdam Creek north of Beaverdam Road, and tidal Carmans River north of Squassux Landing. Some variability was found in the overall patterns of water table elevations across the four months of sampling, but most of the differences were minor, driven by differences in response to rainfall from northwest to southeast. Differences were found in the head in the Upper Glacial aquifer and the underlying Magothy aquifer and confining layer. These data suggest the landfill area is a transition zone from the potential for recharge to the two deeper aquifers in the areas north of the landfill and potential for discharge from the Magothy aquifer into the Upper Glacial aquifer south of the landfill. Introduction Environmental monitoring, generally, is an activity most noted in its absence than its occurrence.
