Ridgewood Reservoir Public Meeting

Monday, March 5th, 2018 @ 7 PM
Redeemer Lutheran School - 6926 Cooper Ave Glendale, NY
*(Use door #3 69th Place)

Join us to make your voice heard to protect the Ridgewood Reservoir’s unique ecology. The NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will be holding a public meeting to discuss the proposed Ridgewood Reservoir wetlands delineation. NYC H2O encourages all Ridgewood Reservoir neighbors and enthusiasts to attend this meeting and speak in favor of the wetlands designation. DEC has found that “The majority of the western basin (Basin 1), as well as the majority of the southern half of the western basin (Basin 3) contain forested wetlands that are seasonally flooded. The majority of central basin (Basin 2) contains open water, surrounded by emergent wetlands…” The comment period on the wetland designation starts today and will close on March 22nd. A copy of DEC's The Ridgewood Reservoir Wetlands Report is available for download here. Comments should be emailed to kenneth.scarlatelli@dec.ny.gov or mailed to:  Regional Administration, Region 2 47-40 21st Street Long Island City, NY 11101-5401 Attn: Ken Scarlatelli   RSVP
