RIVER POLLUTION
We have agreed to work with the Town of East Lyme Public Works Department on storm water mitigation grants as part of the Pine Grove Sewer Project. There are proven technologies that can be applied to the storm water sewer outfalls that now empty into the river. These sewer lines are considered point sources of pollution under the Clean Water Act.

Most experts agree that storm water runoff through these sewers is the primary source of degradation of coastal and estuarine waters such as the Niantic River.

We believe that storm water is the primary source of man-made pollution in the mix, now that our Pump out Program is effectively controlling marine sewerage.
