Environmental Health
Since its inception, Residents has closely monitored an array of environmental issues and health hazards – both real and potential – facing our community. In our role as watchdog and advocate, we evaluate the environmental impact of local projects, interact with government agencies, obtain pertinent information and disseminate news to the public. Our program initiatives include:
- Successfully fighting the opening of a Hempstead Harbor mass-burn solid waste incinerator (Led by Myron Blumenfeld)
- Assisting in the safe reopening of South Salem Elementary School (Led by Curt Trinko, Dan Donatelli and Rick Krainin)
- Advocating for the remediation of various hazardous community sites (Led by Paul Stewart)
- Working with local government agencies to protect our ground water (Led by Paul Stewart)
