Lindenhurst Village Holding Earth Day Dedication

The Village of Lindenhurst will be holding a ceremony to commemorate Earth Day 2012 this afternoon, and all residents are welcome.

“The will be celebrating Earth Day by having Fabco Industries, in conjunction with the Sierra Club and SPLASH (Stop Polluting Littering and Save Harbors), install a storm basin filtering system on Hartford Street,” Deputy Administrator Doug Madlon said in an e-mail about the event.

“It’s the intent of the storm basin to filter out pollutants that flow into Feller’s Pond,” he added.

Fabco Industries, along with the Sierra Club, has volunteered to undertake this project and to maintain the structure.

Jeff Fullmer, Fabco ‘s watershed and regulatory services coordinator, will speak at the event, noted Madlon.

Fullmer was also the Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Council program director at the New York State Coastal Management Division. And he was the state program director at Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

The dedication will begin at 2 p.m. on April 21 at Hartford Street and Charles Street, at the entrance of Firemen’s Park.

All residents are welcome to come to the dedication.
