DescriptionThe Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association (Stony Brook) has invested an enormous amount of staff resources on the issue of the proposed Millstone Bypass, now called the Penns Neck Area Bypass. With guidance from Board members, staff has reviewed documents, spoken to a variety of stakeholders, released an independent environmental analysis, led canoe trips along the Millstone River, gained consulting party status in the Section 106 cultural and historic review process, encouraged a full review of alternatives and participated in 23 months of stakeholder meetings. Our goal in this process has been to provide a balanced, open-minded evaluation of the issues within the context of our mission. Among the issues addressed are impact to the natural environment, water quality analysis, increase in impervious surfaces, habitat fragmentation, potential wetlands and floodplain disturbances, threatened and endangered species, traffic, and cultural and historic resources.
NotePurpose: To share the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association's position and comments on a draft environmental impact statement for Penns Neck Area
