Summary of Projects

NSCCE received a grant in 2011 to pay for a hydrologist to review a 292 page landfill closure plan. The group will also consider alternative remediess for closure and how the closed landfill site could be used in the future.

The group received a grant in 2010 to ensure that the City of Stamford conducts a proper, professional investigation of the extent of contamination of area drinking wells.
