Reminder: Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act Survey Governor Kathy Hochul announced the conclusion of the successful 10-stop educational listening tour for the $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act and encouraged New Yorkers to continue staying engaged in the implementation of this funding opportunity. The educational listening tour was just one part of the State's commitment to a collaborative and transparent process in the delivery of Bond Act funds. The State has created a new web-based survey as part of ongoing efforts to involve all New Yorkers during the Bond Act rollout. The survey is not a formal funding application, but instead helps users share potential project ideas and other feedback on the State's funding mechanisms. The survey will help collect feedback about the types of projects communities may be seeking to support with Bond Act resources. Entries will be collected until Sept. 15, 2023.
Public Information Session for the Bay Park Conveyance Project DEC and the Nassau County Department of Public Works (NCDPW) will host a virtual public information session with the design-build team, Western Bays Constructors (WBC), on Wednesday, September 20, at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom. WBC will provide information on upcoming construction activities and the project team will be available to answer questions. The Bay Park Conveyance Project will reduce nitrogen in the Western Bays of Long Island by conveying treated water from the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility (previously known as the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant) to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant's ocean outfall, which discharges and diffuses treated water three miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. Since the open ocean has higher tidal mixing capabilities, nitrogen will not build up in the ocean like it does in the Western Bays. Visit the Bay Park Conveyance website for project details and meeting information.
