On January 13, BNL's Community Advisory Council held a press conference at the Laboratory advocating increased Department of Energy funding for the Lab's environmental cleanup. Richard Amper, a representative of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, was among the speakers present. The Community Advisory Council recommends that cleanup funding be increased by an average of $16.6 million per year for the next 3 years. This would cut the cleanup time in half and would reduce the total cost by at least $18 million over time. (Photo courtesy of the Long Island Advance) |
