• Peconic Green Growth,with support from Suffolk County, is proposing to install eight alternative recharge dispersal fields, which will replace the typical leaching pits currently used throughout Suffolk County, at residential, institutional and commercial properties throughout the county. The new approach will disperse wastewater higher in the soil profile, allowing for better treatment within the soil. Shallow systems also have the potential to replace irrigation systems, reducing use of potable water and fertilizers. Property owners need to fill out an application either online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OnsitePilot or by mailing a hard copy to: Peconic Green Growth, Inc., 651 West Main St. Riverhead, NY 11901, by tomorrow, Oct. 9 at 4:30 p.m.. For more information, call 631.591.2402. Email questions to: info@peconicgreengrowth.org

And that’s the way things look at dawn’s light here today.
