Please join Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Operation SPLASH and The Nature Conservancy for an important update on the Bay Park Conveyance Project!  Nassau County, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and Veolia will present on the status of the project at the annual Operation SPLASH meeting on Tuesday, July 1st at 7:30 pm at Operation Splash headquarters in Freeport. 

We have been working hard to restore the Western Bays water quality, and it is working! The Bay Park Conveyance Project is a monumental effort led by New York State and Nassau County that has created an aqueduct under Sunrise Highway to connect the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant and Long Beach Sewage Treatment Plant to an existing ocean outfall pipe at the Cedar Creek Sewage Treatment Plant. This would reroute treated sewage from entering into Reynolds Channel and divert it into the ocean instead. This project is nearly complete and is in the final stages! In addition, upgrades to Bay Park have been underway and are helping to improve water quality in the bays. 

We are excited to hear from project leaders and experts who will provide an overview on the Bay Park Conveyance Project and the upgrades. There will be a panel discussion at the end to answer your important questions!
