Brookhaven Landfill Action & Remediation Group (BLARG)
The Brookhaven Landfill Action & Remediation Group (BLARG), a community-led coalition committed to exposing and rectifying the harms caused by the Brookhaven Landfill, began an initiative raising awareness of the Town’s plans to implement an ash-fill in a site adjacent to the landfill.
BLARG requested the BVA join Long Island community organizations, faith institutions, civic leaders, and environmental groups in a letter to representatives of the Town of Brookhaven and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure the closure and remediation of the Brookhaven Landfill.
The link to the letter authored by BLARG is below. The Board encourages all members and TOB residents to sign on. Our goals are to see the landfill close and have a profitable but sustainable and safe waste disposal solution in place other than the proposed ash-fill, an antiquated method known to create dangerous air quality. Please feel free to share with any neighbors and those in your professional and personal networks that are affected by the proposed ash-fill.
Thank you.
The BVA Board
