Groundwater Pollution from Bridgehampton Sand Mine

Bridgehampton Sand Mine polluting drinking water

The Group is fighting against the dumping of construction, demolition and landscaping debris and waste processing at “Sand Land,” a 50-acre open-pit sand mine in Bridgehampton. None of the industrial debris gets inspected, even though the mine sits directly over the South Fork’s most important reserve of fresh drinking water. The Suffolk County Health Department’s groundwater test results show exceedingly high concentrations of heavy metals, nitrates, and radioactivity, which may be moving toward private residential wells.
