ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 23, 2005 THE SUFFOLK COUNTY DREDGING PROJECTS SCREENING COMMITTEE WILL MEET TO DETERMINE THE FATE OF THE GRAND CANAL.

IN 2002, THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO APPROVE INTERFACE DREDGING OF THE CANAL (WHERE IT MEETS THE RIVER).  THE DECISION TO DREDGE THE BALANCE OF THE CANAL WAS TABLED, PENDING A STUDY BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.  THE STUDY WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED.  YOU MAY READ IT HERE: [info]

THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW IS TO HAVE THE COMMITTEE VOTE TO DREDGE THE ENTIRE CANAL TO IMPROVE FLUSHING AND REDUCE FLOODING.  WE BELIEVE THIS IS A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR EVERYONE AND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.  PLEASE ATTEND THIS ONE VERY IMPORTANT MEETING, OR IF YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT, THEN PROVIDE US WITH A LETTER WRITTEN TO THE COMMITTEE, WHICH WE WILL DELIVER ON YOUR BEHALF AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST FOR OTHERS.
