Town of Babylon has been assisted by local Girl Scouts as part
of their storm water management of the Carll's River Watershed.
The scouts have been placing "Do Not Dump Drains to Waterway,"
placards near street storm drains that discharge into the Carlls River.
The scouts did outstanding work installing the markers over a large geographic
area in a short amount of time. Rich Groh,

program, is pictured

activities in the future and are interested in teaching others about the importance
of protecting our estuary. Information about how to get
involved in future activities can be found here. |
