RELATED
DEMONSTRATION
AND
IMPLEMENTATION
PROJECTS
The
following
is
a
brief
description
of
demonstration
and
implementation
projects
for
the
Peconic
Estuary
which
have
been
funded
since
the
inception
of
the
PEP.
To
date,
funding
commitments
to
92
projects
have
totaled
over
$
13.5
million.
In
most
cases,
local
match
results
in
significantly
greater
project
resources.
A
funding
list
and
a
map
of
the
project
locations
are
attached.
A
separate
listing
of
State
assisted
projects
that
benefit
the
Peconic
Estuary
is
included
as
Table
1;
the
New
York
State
Clean
Water/
Clean
Air
Bond
Act
and
Environmental
Protection
Fund
projects
are
included
on
both
lists.
Not
all
projects
in
Table
1
are
included
on
the
map.

A)
NEAR
COASTAL
WATERS
GRANTS
The
PEP
was
the
only
Tier
IV
National
Estuary
Program
(
NEP)
to
qualify
for
this
funding,
due
to
outstanding
performance
and
high­
quality
proposed
projects.
All
projects
are
underway
or
completed.

1)
Bay
Scallop
Restoration
Project
(
Cornell
Coop.
Ext.)
The
objective
of
this
project
was
to
continue
to
enhance
and
restore
populations
of
bay
scallops
in
the
Peconic
Estuary
by
purchasing
and
planting
seed
scallops.
Over
100,000
seed
scallops
were
planted
in
the
estuary
over
several
weeks.
This
project
was
conducted
in
Flanders
Bay;
a
draft
report
indicates
that
the
spring,
1994
seeding
was
successful.
The
project
was
significantly
expanded,
using
a
National
Marine
Fisheries
Service
grant.

Aside
from
the
immediate
benefits
of
increasing
local
scallop
populations,
this
project
also
provided
information
on
the
overwintering
survival
of
various
size
scallop
seed,
and
the
survival
rate
of
hatchery
raised
vs.
natural
set
scallops.
This
information
allowed
the
development
of
optimal
planting
strategies
for
the
future.

2)
Filter
Strip
Project/
Stormwater
Abatement
(
Cornell
Coop.
Ext.
&
Natural
Resources
Conservation
Service)
Ideally,
this
project
will
lower
coliform
levels
enough
so
that
the
creek
can
remain
opened
to
shellfishing
at
least
on
a
seasonal
basis.
Marine
waters
of
Long
Island
are
plagued
with
numerous
points
of
stormwater
runoff.
This
runoff
causes
declines
in
marine
water
quality,
deterioration
of
benthic
habitats,
and
closure
of
shellfish
grounds
due
to
coliform
bacteria.

Presently
communities
are
restricted
in
their
ability
to
mitigate
this
impact.
This
is
largely
due
to
the
cost
of
installation
of
the
traditionally
used
leaching
rings
which
cost
about
$
50,000
to
install
per
project.

This
project
has
constructed
a
grassed
filter
strip
at
the
headwaters
of
Gardiners
Creek
in
Shelter
Island
where
State
Road
114
contributes
stormwater
runoff.
This
project
utilized
manual
labor
to
install
the
filter
strip
so
that
stormwater
runoff
would
be
distributed
to
a
larger
infiltration
area
that
would
prevent
it
from
point
sourcing
via
a
natural
swale
to
the
creek.
Data
documenting
the
effectiveness
of
the
filter
strip
system
is
being
collected.
If
this
simple
technology
is
proven
effective,
it
may
be
implemented
at
additional
selected
sites
within
the
estuary.

3)
Open
Marsh
Water
Management
(
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension)
By
filling,
and
occasionally
diverting,
mosquito
control
ditches,
this
approach
will
restore
wetlands
and
allow
these
habitats
to
act
as
a
more
efficient
filter
of
both
nutrients
and
coliform
bacteria.
Through
this
project,
a
portion
of
the
approximately
300
acres
of
Stateowned
tidal
wetlands
at
Long
Beach
Bay
in
Orient
will
be
restored
by
using
Open
Marsh
Water
Management
(
OMWM).

Under
OMWM,
most
ditches
in
the
tidal
marshes
would
be
plugged,
restoring
the
water
table
to
pre­
ditching
levels.
As
a
result,
conditions
in
the
marsh
will
favor
desirable,
native
vegetation.
Marsh
pools
and
ponds
would
no
longer
be
drained,
improving
habitat
for
waterfowl
and
other
wildlife.
In
addition,
recent
studies
suggest
that
OMWM
can
reduce
the
export
of
wildlife­
source
coliform
bacteria
from
the
marsh.
This
could
help
improve
water
quality
in
the
area,
where
certain
shellfish
beds
have
been
recently
closed
as
a
result
of
fecal
coliform
contamination.
Additional
benefits
may
include
a
reduction
in
coliform
inputs
to
adjacent
shellfishing
areas.

The
original
PEP
project
proposal
has
been
significantly
expanded,
as
NYSDEC
has
been
awarded
$
235,000
from
the
U.
S.
Fish
&
Wildlife
Service
for
the
project.
This
funding
has
also
been
contracted
to
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension.

4)
Adopt­
a­
Sign
Program
(
PEP
Citizens
Advisory
Committee)
This
project
consists
of
posting
signs
to
alert
people
to
the
fact
that
they
are
in
the
Peconic
Estuary
watershed.
The
signs
include
posters
in
plexi­
glass,
with
an
educational
brochure
integrated
into
the
design.
They
have
been
distributed
at
over
250
locations.

5)
Corwin
Duck
Farm
 
Constructed
Wetland
Treatment
System
(
Natural
Resources
Conservation
Service
and
Suffolk
County
Soil
and
Water
Conservation
District)

On
the
Corwin
Duck
Farm,
a
wetland
was
constructed
to
decrease
the
amount
of
nitrogen
and
possibly
pathogens
entering
the
bay
from
Meetinghouse
Creek.
Historic
duck
farm
pollution
to
Meetinghouse
Creek
has
resulted
in
local
and
regional
adverse
impacts.
This
treatment
system
is
expected
to
significantly
improve
the
quality
of
duck
farm
wastewater
and
may
serve
as
a
model
for
other
animal
waste
treatment
systems.
Construction
for
the
program
has
been
completed,
and
the
wetland
is
operating.

B)
FEDERAL
FY94
ACTION
PLAN
DEMONSTRATION
PROJECTS
Again,
the
PEP
was
the
only
Tier
IV
NEP
to
receive
this
funding
due
to
the
progress
of
the
program.
Projects
have
been
selected,
and
contracts
have
been
issued.
These
projects
are
underway
or
completed.

6)
Bay
Scallop
Spat
Collection
and
Transplant/
Optimization
(
East
Hampton)
This
project
is
designed
to
accelerate
scallop
reproduction
at
Napeague
Harbor
in
East
Hampton.
This
project
will
demonstrate
and
assess
certain
criteria
for
the
establishment
of
a
Bay
Scallop
(
Argopecten
irradians)
spat
collection
field
adjacent
to
historically
productive
eelgrass
(
Zostera
marina)
beds
in
Napeague
Harbor.
This
field
will
be
located
in
such
a
way
as
to
entrap
scallop
spat
entrained
in
a
tidal
flow
which
would
ordinarily
be
swept
out
of
the
harbor
to
areas
less
desirable
for
survival.
The
spat
collection
system
will
be
assessed
for
optimal
deployment
timing
and
position
in
the
tidal
stream
and
water
column.

A
technologically
enhanced
spat
collector
design,
to
replace
the
common
onion
bag,
will
be
used
to
improve
mechanical
harvesting.
Animals
will
be
retrieved
from
the
collectors
for
artificial
rearing
and
subsequently
reintroduced
to
prime
natural
nursery
sites
when
their
increased
size
justifies
a
greater
change
of
survival.
The
project
attempts
to
demonstrate
the
effectiveness
of
collection,
rearing,
and
reintroduction
of
otherwise
lost
juvenile
scallops
as
a
management
approach
to
the
problem
of
reestablishment
of
viable
reproductive
populations
following
catastrophic
events.

7)
Composting
Waste
Public
Restroom
(
East
Hampton)

This
project
will
mitigate
potential
nutrient
and
pathogen
pollution
from
a
public
restroom
at
South
Lake
Montauk
Bathing
Beach.
The
Town
of
East
Hampton
proposed
to
construct
a
composting
waste
restroom
facility
for
the
South
Lake
Montauk
Bathing
Beach.
The
proposal
is
to
design,
construct,
maintain,
and
monitor
a
public
beach
comfort
station
utilizing
a
compostable
waste
reduction
system.
The
facility
will
replace
the
existing
comfort
station
and
will
be
designed
to
comply
with
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act,
the
New
York
State
Building
Code,
the
Suffolk
County
Department
of
Health
Services
Standards,
Town
planning
and
design
standards,
and
all
other
applicable
regulations.

8)
Wetland
Restoration
Initiative
(
Southampton
Town
and
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension)
This
project
will
restore
critical
habitat
and
pollution
buffer
areas
at
a
site
in
Southampton.
Wetland
restoration
is
a
newly­
emerging
field
that
promises
to
recapture
significant
wetland
area
that
has
been
lost
to
dredge
and
fill
activities
or
other
destructive
activities.
In
order
to
successfully
restore
a
wetland,
there
must
be
a
basic
understanding
of
the
physical
and
biological
processes
that
control
the
formation
and
stability
of
that
wetland
system.
Successful
projects
require
site
assessment
data
collection
before
construction,
preparation
of
a
practicable
restoration
plan,
active
management
during
construction,
and
intensive
monitoring
after
completion
of
restorative
activities.
This
project
will
demonstrate
ways
in
which
human­
induced
impacts
can
be
mitigated.
Also,
the
restoration
project
provides
the
perfect
framework
for
educating
students
and
concerned
citizens
alike
in
general
wetlands
ecology
and
demonstrating
the
feasibility
of
such
a
project
in
other
areas
of
the
estuary
system.
This
proposal
is
being
augmented
with
a
U.
S.
Fish
&
Wildlife
Service
grant
to
conduct
the
efforts
at
Paynes'
Creek.

9)
Eelgrass
Restoration
(
East
Hampton
Town
and
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension)
This
project
will
restore
critical
habitat
at
a
site
in
East
Hampton.
The
project
will
carry
out
an
intensive
eelgrass
planting
program
as
well
as
an
eelgrass
bed
survey
in
East
Hampton.
Bottomland
in
East
Hampton
harbors
will
be
surveyed
to
determine
suitability
for
planting,
then
an
actual
planting
program
will
be
carried
out
whereby
eelgrass
shoots
will
be
planted
on
the
bottom.
The
planting
technique,
density,
and
suitability
of
donor
plants
will
be
based
on
the
results
of
a
pilot­
scale
demonstration
eelgrass
program
presently
taking
place
in
East
Hampton.
Additionally,
eelgrass
seeds
will
be
collected
in
order
to
establish
an
eelgrass
seed
bank
and
for
use
in
planting
additional
bottomland
in
this
project.
This
project
is
being
carried
out
and
coordinated
by
the
Marine
Program
of
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension
and
the
East
Hampton
Natural
Resources
Department,
and
is
being
conducted
in
conjunction
with
the

Ultraviolet
Disinfection
Pilot
Project
(
Shelter
Island
and
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension)
This
project
has
demonstrated
the
elimination
of
potentially
harmful
chlorine
disinfection
at
the
Shelter
Island
Heights
sewage
treatment
plant.
There
are
presently
ten
sewage
treatment
plants
located
in
the
watershed
of
the
Peconic
Estuary,
four
of
which
discharge
directly
to
surface
waters.
While
sources
of
nitrogen
from
these
sewage
treatment
plants
have
had
much
discussion
recently,
control
of
coliform
bacteria
(
and
the
pathogenic
organisms
they
indicate)
is
another
important
aspect
of
these
sewage
treatment
plants.
While
chlorination
provides
for
disinfection
to
protect
public
health,
there
is
a
potential
negative
environmental
impact
from
chlorine
and
chlorinated
compounds
entering
marine
surface
waters.

An
alternate
method
of
disinfection
of
sewage
treatment
plant
effluent
is
through
the
use
of
ultraviolet
(
UV)
light.
UV
light
adds
nothing
to
the
water
column
and
is
effective
as
a
germicide
because
of
photochemical
damage
to
RNA
and
DNA
within
the
cells
of
an
organism.
Disinfection
of
sewage
treatment
plant
effluent
by
UV
has
the
potential
to
not
only
protect
public
health,
but
to
also
improve
water
quality
and
habitat
in
the
Peconic
Estuary
by
eliminating
the
harmful
environmental
side
effects
of
chlorination.

11)
Fish
Run
Demonstration
Project
(
NYSDEC)
This
project
tested
feasibility
of
restoring
alewife
runs
over
dammed
areas
of
the
Peconic
River.
Alewives
and
rainbow
smelt
are
an
important
food
source
for
many
commercially
and
recreationally
important
species.
The
Peconic
River,
the
site
of
this
demonstration
project,
has
been
identified
as
a
stream
which
historically
provided
runs
for
these
fish.
A
pilot
project
for
restoration
has
been
implemented.
Re­
establishment
of
this
run
would
provide
prey
items
in
freshwater
and
marine
environments,
as
well
as
added
recreational
and
possible
commercial
opportunities.
While
the
initial
pilot
was
unsuccessful,
NYSDEC
hopes
to
re­
test
the
project.

technology
will
be
tested
at
a
site
to
be
selected
within
the
Peconic

This
technology,
which
captures
and
treats
pollution
(
e.
g.,
sediments,
nutrients,
bacteria)
in
the
first
flush
of
rainfall
through
several
physical
and
chemical
processes,
involves
installation
of
a

at
Sag
Harbor.
The
system,
which
will
consist
of
a

area,
will
act
as
a
"

As
a
means
to
identify

a
DNA
library,
specific
to
eastern
Long
Island,
will
be
developed
based
on
Escherichia

isolated
from
the
scat
of
animals
(
including

The
DNA
library
will
consist
of
"

determined
by
contour­
clamped
homogenous
electric

(
CHEF)
pulsed

(
PFGE)
for
each
strain
of
E.

isolated.
Once
the
DNA
library
has
been
established,
it
will
be
used
to
catalogue
and
identify
sources
of
fecal
pollution.
Key
among
these
will
be
the
identification
of

areas
in
order
to
determine
the
most

With
the
funding
provided,
native

were
established
at
two
public
spaces
(
Southampton

in
the
watershed
in
areas
highly
visible
to
yearround
and
seasonal
residents,
business
owners,
municipal
officials,
students,
and
visitors.
These
plantings
were
established
as
living
workshops
where
both
adults
and
youth
can
learn
about
the
diversity
of
native
plants
and
their
beauty,
hardiness,
and
suitability
for
landscaping
purposes.
These
plantings
will
also
serve
as
reference
sites
where
watering,
maintenance,
and
pesticide
and
fertilizer
inputs
vs.
traditional
landscaping
practices
will
be
measured.
Information
on
the
plants
and
where
to
buy
them
would
be
available
at
each
location.
The
public
will
be
encouraged/
challenged
to
establish
native
plantings
at
their
homes,
businesses,
and
in
public
spaces.
The
number
and
areal
extent
of
such
plantings
at
homes/

Training
workshops
are
being
conducted
to
directly
assist

expertise
to
identify
pests,
determine
if
threshold
populations
of
pests
are
present,
and
make
appropriate
decisions/
recommendations
of
when
to
apply
pesticides.
When
no
other
control
strategies
are
available,
growers
will
consider
environmental
characteristics
such
as
persistence,
toxicity,
leaching
potential,
and
runoff
potential
when
selecting
pesticides.
In
addition,
growers
will
learn
specific
pest
biology,
cultural
practices,
and
sanitation
and
forecasting
systems
to
improve
pest
management.
Direct
technical
assistance
in
the
field
will
be
provided.
Pre­
training
and
post­
growing
season
surveys
will
be
conducted
of
all
participating
farms
to
determine
changes
in
pest
management
practices.
An
in­
depth
evaluation
of
pesticide
use
and
other
pest
management
practices
will
be
conducted
with
several
participating
growers
to
compare
IPM
practices
to
standard
scheduled
applications.
Measurements
of
pesticide
usage
including
number
of
applications
and
rates
will
be
quantified.

The
Peconic
River
Estuary
is
a
significant
recreational

commercial
resource.
Excessive
levels
of
nitrogen
from
sewage
treatment
plants
and
runoff
have
increased
eutrophication
in
the
estuary,
depressed
dissolved

and,
possibly,
contributed
to
the
decline
of
eelgrass
beds.
This
project
addresses
the
primary
point
source
of
nitrogen
to
the
estuary
and
will
improve
the

Habitat
Restoration
(
Town
of
East
Hampton)
Aquatic
habitat
restoration
is
a
priority
of
the
Peconic
Estuary
Program.
Restoring
eelgrass
beds
to
improve
habitat
for
scallops
is
extremely
important
in
the
Peconic
Estuary
because
of
the
devastating
effect
of
Brown
Tide
blooms
to
both
of
these
resources
over
the
past
ten
years.
Also,
wetlands
serve
numerous
habitat
and
pollution
control
functions.

in
East
Hampton
tidal
embayments,
particularly:
Three
Mile,
Accabonac,
and
Napeague
Harbors
and
Northwest
Creek.
The
goals
are
to
restore
eelgrass
beds
in
the
three
harbors
and
combat
Phragmites
proliferation
in
20
acres
of
tidal
wetlands
by
manual
planting
and
removal,
respectively,
and
by
applying
open

Hudson

Stormwater
Abatement
for
Coecles
Harbor
(
Town
of
Shelter
Island)
Freshwater
wetlands
are
rare
on
Shelter
Island
and
this
project
will
increase
the
wetland
acreage.
This
habitat
will
be
beneficial
to
various
avian
species
for
nesting
and
feeding
such
as
the
red­
winged
blackbird,
common
yellowthroat,
and
marsh
wren.
Small
forage
fish
will
be
introduced
to
control
mosquitoes
and
provide
food
for
wading
birds.
Nearby
shellfish
beds
will
benefit
from
the
improved
water
quality.

This
is
a
four­
phase
project
to
create
a
freshwater
wetlands
system
to
hold
stormwater
emanating
from
thirteen
up­
gradient
catchment
basins,
to
improve
water
quality
in
Coecles
Harbor,
and
to
create
a
one­
acre
emergent,
forested
freshwater
wetlands
detention
basin
as
a
preserve
to
enhance
wildlife
habitat
and
biodiversity.
The
area
will
be
graded
to
planting
specifications
and
water
control
structures
will
be
installed.
Plants,
interpretative
signs,
a
viewing
platform
and
bird/
bat
boxes
will
then
be
installed.

Hashamomuck
Pond
Stormwater
Remediation
This
project
will
acquire
approximately
4
acres
of
land
to
construct
a
biological
filtration
pond
to
control
pathogens
and
other
pollutants
from
stormwater
runoff
that
are
causing
shellfish
bed
closures
in
Hashamomuck
Pond.
There
is
a
significant
shellfish
resource
in
the
Pond,
and
this
effort
will
mitigate
a
major
coliform
source,
improving
the
condition
of
the
system
which
may
allow
the
reopening
of
some
of
the
beds.

46)
Peconic
Estuary
Stormwater
Remediation
Pathogens
and
other
pollutants
from
stormwater
runoff
have
caused
closure
of
shellfish
beds
and
precluded
the
harvesting
of
shellfish.
This
project
will
improve
the
condition
of
the
system
which
may
allow
the
reopening
of
some
of
the
beds.
This
project
will
install
leaching
and
retention
basins
to
control
pathogens
and
other
pollutants
from
stormwater
runoff
that
are
causing
the
closures
of
shellfish
growing
waters.
The
scope
of
the
project
has
been
reduced
to
focus
on
the
Sag
Harbor
and
Coves
portion
of
the
project.

Sag
Harbor
Sewage
Treatment
Plant
Upgrade
The
Peconic
Estuary
Program
has
identified
the
need
to
reduce
pollutants
discharged
to
the
estuary
as
a
priority
in
order
to
prevent
degradation
of
water
quality.
This
project
will
reduce
the
biochemical
oxygen
demand
and
reduce
nitrogen
discharged
to
Sag
Harbor.

This
project
will
upgrade
the
existing
Sag
Harbor
sewage
treatment
plant
(
STP)
by
replacing
the
aeration
tanks
with
sequencing
batch
reactors.
Existing
clarifiers
will
be
converted
to
aerated
sludge
holding
tanks.
The
upgrading
will
increase
the
capacity
of
the
Sag
Harbor

enhance
nitrogen
removal,
and
reduce
biochemical
oxygen

install
underground
stormwater
catch
basins
to
control
pathogens
and
other
pollutants
from
stormwater
runoff
that
are
causing
the
conditional
