From: Fisners Island Conservancy, Inc.
June 28, 1988
To: Members of the Southold Town Board
Subject: A "stop Day" on Fishers Island for toxic Haste disposal.
Under the auspices of the Fishers Island Conservancy and
Gouncilman Raymond Edlvards, a "stop Day" is being planned for
Fishers Island Hhereby durin~ one designated day residents can
deDosit thG~ toxic household Haste (mostly old paint cans,
pesticide containers, etc.) in a pre-designated dump site, there
to be carted off the Island by a specially qualified and properly
permitted waste hauler operating under state and tOHn supervision,
qualification, and permission. .
It is the intent of t,lis letter to request official Southold
co-operation and sanction for holding this environmentally-needed
occasion, and this letter also suggests that, if possible, the
Fishers Island "Stop Day" oe scheduled to coincide with a similar
"stop Day" being held in the tOHn of Southold on tile mainland.
If possible, it is also suggested that a day in August 0e
chosen for this occasion so that a maximum of summer residents
De present on the Island, resulting hopefully in an equally maximum
a~ount of toxic material being removed from the Island due to the
efforts of all residents - both summer and year-round.
Once TOlm Board sanction and approval has been given for this
occasion, our Conservancy Hill be happy to "Tork with Jim HcHahon
or any other designated tOlm o~ state official to mW~e the progrmn
a success. Our Conservancy "stO:O ;)ay" conmi ttee, headed by year-
round Island residents Gharles Stepane': a.:d Patricia Faulkner, Hill
be glad to co-ordinate :oroper publicity and notice of t'le event
throun:hout the Island cOlli.'11unity, if on their part state and local
officials c~~ handle the needed permits and transportation details,
as well as dumpster locations, etc. As much as we can, we will be
happy to assist those Hith expertise in these matters so that
a lar~e m[ount of household toxic Haste can be collected and sent
(:;)
off the Island to proper disposal areas.
\ie hope fo:' both your assistance and Co-o1:Jeration.
Sincerely,
mId for our ConservancJ Board,
