Brookhaven's plan for cleaning up a toxic plume from the town landfill calls for a combination of expanded public water hookups and enhanced groundwater monitoring. The town faced a deadline to file a plan for cleaning up the 4-mile-long plume, which runs through residential neighborhoods such as Bellport and Brookhaven hamlet to Bellport Bay. The cleanup plan requires approval of the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which could take several months. #newyork #plume #toxic Subscribe to our YouTube channel: bit.ly/3jLQjUN Subscribe to Newsday.com: newsday.com/socialoffer ~ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA ~ @newsday on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. @newsday.tv on TikTok.
