The Team will establish a web site to keep the public informed about project progress and to post background information. The Executive Summary of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be posted to the web site along with a table of contents, similar to the New York City and Westchester EIS’s, with individual chapters available for download in PDF format. The results of the EIS Scoping session will be similarly posted to the site along with public presentation and meeting notices. The Draft Suffolk County Vector Control and Wetlands Management Long-Term Plan will be posted for download and public comment. The Final Long-Term Plan will be available for download from the web site. Contact information for the CAC, Steering Committee, TAC, and others will also be available. Additional background information would be provided on mosquito biology, species, natural history and habitats, mosquito-borne diseases, and methods of control taken from the report. Detailed information about the County’s Vector Control program from the report would include surveillance techniques, on-site inspections, larval and adult control agents (their effectiveness and safety), when and where the County sprays, where and when they don’t spray.
