Quogue adopts Nitrogen Smart Communities pledge, names Mayor as coordinator
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted the Nitrogen Smart Communities Pledge to address nitrogen pollution on Long Island and appointed the Mayor as the village's NSC Coordinator to lead inventory and planning efforts.
The Village of Quogue Board of Trustees on Feb. 20 unanimously adopted the Nitrogen Smart Communities Pledge, a program promoted by the Long Island Watershed Program under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The pledge commits the village to inform and engage the community, inventory priority nitrogen sources and create an implementation plan to reduce nitrogen pollution that harms Long Island surface and groundwater.
The resolution names the Mayor as the NSC Coordinator to serve as the village point of contact and to facilitate project implementation. The pledge language in the minutes states that "the Village of Quogue believes that nitrogen pollution poses a real and increasing threat to the waters of Long Island," and lists wastewater, stormwater runoff and fertilizer as key local sources of nitrogen contamination.
