SPECIAL PRESENTATION Jenn Hartnagel from the Group for the East End introduced the Peconic Estuary Program's longstanding priority action items to help protect and preserve water quality and habitat within the Peconic Estuary watershed. She requested feedback and guidance from the members on how the CAC could help the PEP achieve their goals. Some of the target issues include eel grass protection, algae blooms, stormwater run-off, nitrogen pollution, land protection, education and outreach. The CAC provided the following suggestions/comments: 2 • Over-development is part of the problem; • Dedicated roads that are asphalted should have a drainage system; • Sanitary systems need new standards; • The infrastructure is obsolete. • Consider providing economic incentives to homeowners to put money back into the infrastructure; • Consider tax abatements and publicize artificial reefs; • Consider forming a committee for oversight, leadership and resources; • Suggestion to address temporary property because it's not going to stay. It was also suggested that the five towns develop consistent best practices. Jenn Hartnagel indicated that the PEP is updating their comprehensive plan and there will be an opportunity for public comment.
