Join us for a rally to let our federal leaders and Governor Cuomo know that Bay Park needs to be updated to include nitrogen removal and an ocean outfall pipe. An ocean outfall is necessary to save our bays; ensure cleaner ocean beaches; protect public health; and preserve our quality of life. This is not only the best option, it is the only option. We now have the unique opportunity to obtain federal dollars for this critical need. BUT YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED!
The Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant discharged 2.2 billion gallons of raw and partially treated sewage due to Superstorm Sandy.
