Huntington cuts nitrogen discharge at water plant
Newsday
Carter Continuing its commitment and dedication to maintaining and protecting Huntington Harbor and Long Island Sound the Town of Huntington recently completed $18 million in upgrades to its sewage treatment plant reducing the plant?s nitrogen discharge by 90 percent and earning the town a Platinum Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies. The project included upgrading the nitrogen removal system at the plant and installation of an ultraviolet disinfection system which allowed the existing disinfection chemical storage and handling facilities to be taken out of service and eliminated the need to construct storage and handling facilities for a chemical that would remove chlorine The new and upgraded facility will greatly improve the health of the Sound and reduce the potential for Red Tides and Brown Tides by reducing ?hypoxia? ? a deficiency in the amount of oxygen in the water caused by excess nitrogen. Hypoxia in turn causes more phytoplankton to die and sink to the bottom of the Sound causing more oxygen to be consumed in the deeper portions of the Sound and making it an unfit habitat for marine life during the summer months. In 1998 the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) Management Conference found that hypoxia affects a substantial portion of the Sound marine habitat and merited special attention. To address hypoxia the state imposed limits to reduce nitrogen discharged from the twelve municipal treatment plants located on the north shore of Long Island.
