Meeting scheduled to discuss
Brockport Creek clean up plans

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Department of Health, and the Monroe County Health Department have scheduled a public meeting to discuss clean-up plans for the former General Electric/Black & Decker and the former 3M/Dynacolor sites in Brockport.

The meeting is intended to provide residents with information about the proposed off-site clean up plans for Tributary #3 to Brockport Creek. Agency representatives will also be on hand to receive input from residents on the proposed clean-up plans.

Proposed plans include clean up of the storm sewer system near the former 3M/Dynacolor site on the south side of the canal. Plans are available for review at the Seymour Public Library, the Brockport Village Office and the NYSDEC Region 8 office in Avon. The DEC will accept written comments on the proposed plan until June 17, 2002.

The meeting will begin with a brief overview of the contaminant migration and the NYSDEC's procedure for determining clean-up requirements. The clean up will be followed by test results from the off-site sampling program and the proposed cleanup plan for the storm sewer system and Tributary #3 to Brockport Creek.

During the meeting, individuals can review information about the plans and results from off-site sampling.

The meeting will take place Wednesday, May 29 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Seymour Public Library, 161 East Avenue, Brockport. Information on the meeting can be obtained from Lisa LoMaestro Silvestri of the DEC at 585-226-5326.
