SCWA has taken those two wells offline, while keeping the other two online at a reduced use.SCWA, starting earlier in June, has been locked in litigation with the operator of a battery energy storage system, or BESS, on Cove Hollow Road, arguing that LG Chem and the East Hampton Energy Storage System failed to prevent runoff from a 2023 fire at the facility — ultimately leading to the water contamination.But East Hampton Town officials, who called for the creation of a task force in the wake of the detection of the contaminated water, have now said that the 2005 Mill Hill Lane plane crash has emerged as another potential source of the “forever chemical.” The firefighting foam used, should it turn it out that this incident caused the contamination, would be the culprit.East Hampton Town Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez said the sustained pumping may have drawn the contaminated water from the plane crash toward the SCWA wells, which are located around a half-mile from the site of the crash.Burke-Gonzalez spearheaded the creation of a task force, made up of East Hampton Town officials, State Department of Environmental Conservation representatives and Suffolk County Department of Health Services officials, among others.East Hampton Village officials also plan to contract with a private company, under the lead of Village Planner Billy Hajek, to conduct a separate testing operation from the door-to-door testing being done by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen said this will be done to confirm the results.PFPrA, the chemical in question, is an unregulated contaminant that does not appear on the list of 40 PFAS chemicals that the Department of Environmental Conservation screens for and was only identified via SCWA’s specialized, in-house measures.The location of the SCWA wells, alongside that of the BESS facility and the site of the 2005 Mill Hill plane crash, has put East Hampton Town and East Hampton Village officials in an uneasy partnership aimed at mitigating the fallout.Both the BESS facility and the SCWA wells are located in the town, just north of the border with the village, while the site of the plane crash is located in the village. Groundwater flows south from those locations, likely putting the contamination, in part, within the village’s borders.***The immigration crackdown President Donald Trump promised on his first day in office has taken hold on Long Island. As reported on Newsday.com, federal immigration agents have arrested roughly 3,000 Long Islanders, but the campaign’s effects extend far beyond those detained. Across the region, employers are losing workers, businesses are losing customers and families are retreating from public life. Immigrants make up nearly a fifth of Long Island’s population, and as many withdraw from daily routines, or vanish from the communities where they live and work, the region itself is beginning to change.Long Island's share of foreign-born residents has doubled in the past four decades, surpassing the national trend from 1960 through 2024.David Dyssegaard Kallick, director of Immigration Research Initiative, a nonpartisan think-tank spoke with NEWSDAY about increased United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity through the past 17 months. "You can expect ripple effects to the economy and also ripple effects to our sense of who we are…This is raids on communities, raids on workplaces, picking people up in courthouses when they're coming to do what they're supposed to do in registering. ...it's much more disruptive, more indiscriminate, violent."Trump’s second term immigration campaign came at a time when Long Island's immigrant population neared 550,000 and the portion of population that is foreign-born neared levels not seen for a century or more: close to 15% nationwide, 21% through Nassau / Suffolk combined.But since the stepped-up enforcement began, immigration rates have fallen into a "historic decline," according to the Census Bureau, which does not distinguish between unlawful and lawful immigration. In New York State from 2024 to 2025, net migration from immigrants dropped from 290,500 people to 95,600 people. Nationally, the rate of ...
