Commitment to Continued Progress
The comprehensive cleanup program at the Bay Shore former MGP site and its related gas operations support facility in Brightwaters is yielding excellent results. Today, the program is primarily in the Operations, Maintenance and Monitoring phase, with all major construction completed.
Current site status fall 2012
We have completed the majority of remedial construction activities at the site. The TOI/LIRR parking lot is completely restored and is open to the public. We would like to express our appreciation to all of our neighbors in the TOI for their cooperation and patience during this important project. Earlier in 2012, National Grid completed demolition of structures on Union Boulevard, removed the debris and backfilled the area with clean fill.The OU-3 Community Road oxygen injection line was upgraded in Mach 2012 to address downgradient groundwater impacts and is proving effective.
NYSDEC Report
During active construction, NYSDEC produced and distributed periodic reports posted on its and National Grid’s websites for the project and e-mailed to residents, with highlights of recent remedial activities and notifications about upcoming work that could affect normal community activities. These reports were suspended at the conclusion of active construction and can be found in the Documents and Resources section of this website.
NYSDEC Fact Sheet
The NYSDEC produced and distributed Fact Sheets at the significant milestones in the project, including when remedial investigation reports were completed, remedial action plans approved and when major construction activities were about to begin. Recently, Fact Sheets have been produced to update the community on overall site status and on-going work in the operable units. An updated NYSDEC Fact Sheet on project status is planned for Fall 2012. Bay Shore Fact Sheet October 2012.
