We must protect the quality of our water supply!

Yes. I think it is incumbent or obligatory that the DEC hold a public meeting on the decisions that have great importance -- the Clean Water Act and the East End of the South Fork. Water -- we are down to basics here. Sincerely, Mary Graves

I am not alone in the east end community in being confused about the turn-around in the DEC's decision about protecting our sole source aquifer. I join in the demand that you hold a public hearing on the matter on this matter. Sincerely, Mary Graves

Please allow a Public Hearing so those people most affected by the Sand Land Mine can have their opinions heard; one commerical entitiy should not be allowed to affect the lives and health of thousands of residents, along with the qualify of groundwater along the eastern south fork of Long Island. There needs to be transparency and two way communications in this situation. Let the people who who are impacted the most have a chance to speak.

How can the DEC, the protector of our environment, issue a permit to a known polluter, the Sand Land Mine? The community has many questions and concerns that remain unanswered and would like the opportunity to hear the DEC answer them in a public forum.

How can the DEC grant an 8 year permit to a Mine that the Health Department cited for contaminating our groundwater? The DEC is ignoring the problem and we want to know why this is continuing.
