Last summer, local residents gathered at the Seaford Fire Department headquarters for a meeting airing concerns about the cleanup of toxic groundwater flowing southward from the Grumman site.
A report has been prepared by the Division of Environmental Remediation within the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Readers can also download the program here.
The state also has produced a cancer map for Nassau County. It can be viewed here.
