Don't Miss It: DEC to Answer Questions About Speonk Plume

The DEC is holding a meeting at 7 p.m.

The public will get an opportunity on Wednesday to ask the Department of Environmental Conservation questions about its controversial decision not to do anything about a toxic plume that runs under Speonk at 7 p.m.

The long-awaited meeting will be held at the Suffolk County Community College, Eastern Campus, Shinnecock Building.

Numerous residents are expected to be in attendance, including members of the CAC-West and Speonk Remsenburg Civic Association, who teamed up with environmentalists, including ones from the Group from the East End, at a meeting earlier this week to form a unified response that they will present to the DEC.

At that same meeting, Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said that if the DEC does not step-up to clean-up the plume, the town will consider a lawsuit.

P. Killian, Thanks for asking. We just reached out to State police. They are doing seatbelt checks.
