Squassux Landing Marina WILL NOT be opening up on April 15, 2020 as planned. The information received from NY State Senator Martinez, and Town Councilman Loguercio offices are that through the governor’s executive order we are deemed ” unessential ” as a community service.
We are prohibited from conducting business as we normally would at this time of year. No keys for the marina will be mailed out. I would ask that you do not contact our dock master Andy Rubin, or any of the board at this time, as we are mandated by the state. This is an unfortunate situation, but it is out of our hands.
We ask for your understanding. As soon as any communications allowing Squassux Landing to open are received, the membership will be contacted ASAP.
Everyone’s favorite statewide streamside protection initiative, Buffer in a Bag, is back! Landowners with at least 50 feet of streamside property in New York State can apply for 25 free tree and shrub seedlings to help prevent erosion, improve water quality, and create habitat for wildlife along their stream. Please visit the Buffer in a Bag page on the DEC website.

In the spring of 2018, The Brookhaven Village Association completed its participation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to monitor toxic air pollutants in the surrounding communities around the Brookhaven Landfill. Four air samples were collected in the Brookhaven community and analyzed by an independent laboratory to identify the presence of 43 toxic air pollutants. The samples were collected downwind of the landfill and outside of periods of high traffic.
Results of the air screening survey identified twenty-six toxic air pollutants that were all were below DEC’s short-term health-based air concentration values. Therefore, these findings would not be considered a potential health threat or an immediate health concern. Air sampling results were also below or within an order of magnitude of the long-term health-based air concentration values and similar to concentrations found in the DEC’s ambient air monitoring network. Based on these study findings and comparisons, DEC staff concluded that there is no immediate need for follow-up sampling.
This Fall we are teaming up with the Brookhaven Free Library and the South Country Library for the Great Give Back. Please join us on October 13th and help clean up Brookhaven Hamlet. Gloves, trash bags, and vests will be provided.
The Great Give Back is a community service initiative created by the Suffolk County Public Library Directors Association and the Suffolk Cooperative Library System to provide a day of opportunities for the patrons of Long Island libraries to participate in meaningful, service-oriented experiences. What’s more meaningful than working together to keep our community beautiful? Meet at the Brookhaven Fire Dept parking lot at 10:00am or at the Brookhaven Free Library at 9:30am to join your neighbors and help to make a difference. All supplies are provided and all are welcome.
