Final Public Meeting for Manhasset Bay Plan (Virtual)

The Town of North Hempstead, Manhasset Bay Protection Committee, consultant Nelson, Pope, and Voorhis (NPV), and the municipal advisory committee members have released the updated Draft Final Manhasset Bay Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP) [PDF].Previous releases have only been of sections of the plan, but this is the draft plan in its entirety.

The third and final public meeting will be held virtually on Thursday, November 19th at 7pm [zoom link].  At that meeting, NPV will summarize and explain the draft plan, or WQIP, and welcome public feedback and questions.  The draft plan and other documents are posted on the Committee’s webpage for download and review [link].

There have been two public meetings.  The slide decks and links to recordings from these meetings are also on this webpage.  The second public meeting presented the draft Recommendations, which are organized into eight categories.  This final draft contains the following three new sections: Executive Summary, Implementation Strategy, and Monitoring and Tracking.

Time is of the essence to get comments to the Committee.  You can share your thoughts by emailing baycomments@gmail.com. There will be an open review period after the meeting to gather more input.

The WQIP was prepared with funding provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
