The Trustees have approved a proposal from Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program mitigate and reduce nitrogen in Hog Creek.

The second of three phases of a project to identify and remediate nitrogen-rich groundwater intrusion in Hog Creek in Springs was detailed to the East Hampton Town Trustees this month, in a presentation that included evidence that water quality may be improving there.

The Trustees, who have jurisdiction over many of the town’s waterways, bottomlands and beaches, permitted an evaluation of nitrogen entering the creek, John Aldred of the Trustees told his colleagues on August 12.
