OCTOBER 20, 1992
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: That concludes the agenda items. Is there anyone present
to wishes to address the Town Board on any matter of interest or cc~ncern?
JOHN CLAVIN: Mr. John Clavin, Fishers Island, introduced himself. Mr. Clavin
stated he would like to make a statement and then ask some questions of the Board.
Finally, he had a new concern facing Fishers Island that he wishes to communicate
to the Board. Mr. Calvin said, "At the August meeting of the Town Board on
Fishers Island we asked if the Board could come more often to Fishers Island. At
that time Supervisor Harris suggested we come to the Town meetings. The Fishers
Island Civic Association Board has taken up that suggestion and will attempt to have
· representatives at future meetings of the Town Board.
"We are not here to antagonize or criticize, but rather to communicate. We
want to see as much as possible of the Town facilities, including parks, beaches,
recreation center and other services. We emphasized that they all represented
Fishers Island and we wanted to have them as, 'What about Fishers Island?'"
Mr. Cavin pointed out that they voted today to buy a new Human Services
Center for $650,000. Fishers Island taxpayers will be paying almost 10% of that
bond and its debt service. They do not object to this purchase that will provide
for Senior Services, Recreation Program, Meals on Wheels and others. They just
ask that the Town Board consider - What about Fishers Island? Does Fishers Island
have those facilities? Does Fishers Island provide those services? Likewise, when
the Town recently purchased the Carey Tank Farm property, that Fishers Island
will help for it, and the residents of Fishers Island ask, "Do we have any parks
on Fishers Island? Do we have a Town Beach?" Mr. Clavin asked that as the Town
Board deliberates on their 1993 Budget, they also keep Fishers Island in mind.
Mr. Clavin said that at the Fishers Island Civic Association meeting on October
11, 1992, with 200 in attendance, Justice Edwards advised that the Town and Fishers
Island Garbage District agreement was going to be approved. They have been
waiting ten years for this double taxation question to be settled. Why was it not
on the agenda"
Town Attorney Arnoff replied that there is just a matter of some wording
changes. He assured Mr. Clavin that it will be on the agenda for the next meeting -
no possible objection from Fisher~ Island Garbage District. Supervisor Harris added
that they wanted Justice Edwards to make the motion.
Mr. Clavin said that a recent letter to the DEC from Councilwoman Hussie was
different from the original draft. It did not address the sub-surface clean-up. Was
that just not addressed, or does the Board not plan to correct that condition?
Councilwoman Hussie replied that it was not addressed in the letter, but the
Town Board is committed to the clean-up of the sub-surface as well. Supervisor
Harris added that the Town is engaging an engineer to study this problem to
determine what has to be done and how to do it.
Mr. Clavin asked what the status is of the proposal to refurbish the tennis
courts at the Fishers Island School property?
Town Clerk Terry replied that the bid notice will appear in the newspaper next
week, and the bid opening will be on November 4th. The notice to bidders will
appear in the New London Day as well as The Suffolk Times and The Long Island
Traveler-Watchman.
Mr. Clavin asked about the status of the repair of the boat launching ramp on
Fishers Island.
Supervisor Harris said a revision of the application for the permit is being
worked on and it should be completed shortly.
Mr. Clavin then advised the Board that there is a matter of great concern to
the residents of Fishers Island, and that is the U.S. Navy dredging project, and
the deposit of the dredged material only 1-1/2 miles off of Fishers Island. He
submitted a letter to the Town Board from the Fishers Island Civic Association,
dated October 17, 1992, re: Navy dredging and pollution in Long Island Sound near
Fishers Island, which reads as follows:
"To: Members of the Town Board: The Leaders of the undersigned
organizations wish to bring to the Board's attention the alarming fact that in a few
months time the U.S. Navy will be poised to begin a truly massive, pollutive, and
potentially dangerous program of harbor dredging that will deposit over 2,700,000
cubic yards of Thames River muck into the waters of Long Island Sound - only 1-
1/2 miles off Fishers Island's northwest shore, and abutting waters that are part
of the Town's territory.
"The Fishers Island Conservancy, along with the Fishers Island Civic
Association, are by this letter formally requesting the Town of Southold to take note
of this situation, which has a real probability of occurring in the near future unless
the Navy can be persuaded to shift the dredge spoil to alternate sites.
OCTOBER 20, 1992
173
"It should be emphasized that this projected dredging program (part of the
"Seawolf" submarine project) will dredge the Thames River by New London in a
swath four feet deep, 150 feet wide, and nearly eight miles long! Indeed the
dredging will reach as far north as the Submarine Base near Gales Ferry,
Connecticut; an area where radio-active material has been deposited in the past,
and where measurable quantities of radio-active sediments have been recently
detected in core samplinc]. The amount of generally pollutive dredge spoil all this
will dredge up is truly enormous, and it should be always remembered that the New
London harbor dump site is bumping right up to the New York State line. In other
words, if any of the dredge material is dumped on an ebb tide, it wilt more than
likely drift into. New York State and $outhold Town waters before it hits bottom.
"We ask here not only for the attention of the Southold Town Board, but also
for the help of that Board in the event the Navy after completing its Environmental
Impact Statement begins to move to dump this huge mass of polluted river bottom
so near to Fishers Island. Such an action would negatively impact the ecosystems
of Southold, New York State, and Connecticut, not to mention Fishers Island. It
would also reverse a decade-long emphasis on efforts to clean up Long Island Sound.
"Make no mistake - we are not worried here over either the scope or the reality
of the Navy's submarine program - a program that basically we support. What we
are worried about is the huge environmental impact of dumping such a massive
amount of polluted and/or contaminated material in the swirling currents just off
Fishers Island's northwest shore. We are taking the stand that the Navy find
alternative dumping sites that would not affect either Southold's territory or our
own local waters.
"We are urging Southold by this letter, then, to be both aware of the problem,
and the threat to our joint environments and territories. We hope that the Southold
Town Board, along with our own two groups, will continue to monitor the situation
closely, and that they will joint us in expressing concern of the potential danger
and damage to both our own coastal waters and our own fragile environment that
this projected action of the Navy's would cause. Sincerely, John H. Thatcher Jr.,
President, Fishers Island Conservancy; Carol O. Ridgway, President, Fishers Island
Civic Association (by authorized proxy)."
SUPERVISOR HARRIS: Supervisor Harris assured Mr. Clavin that he would send
letters to all Of the responsible agencies asking them to abandon the plan to dump
the dredged material so close to Fishers Island, and to find alternate sites that wi. II
not affect Fishers Island in any way.
