Stan Carey, NSWCA’s representative to the Long Island Commission for Aquifer Protection (LICAP), updated membership on the newly-formed commission. The meeting was hosted by Locust Valley Water District Commissioners Pasquale J. Eliseo, Anker Johansen and Louis P. Savinetti.
A bi-county commission, LICAP addresses quantity and quality issues regarding Long Island’s aquifer system including contamination, waste, saltwater intrusion, mismanagement and usage. Mr. Carey reported “opening meetings reaffirmed LICAP’s mission, goals and deliverables. Significant among those are an annual State of the Aquifer Report and a history of Long Island’s water supply and resources. Equally important is the establishment of two committees, the 2040 Water Resource Opportunities Subcommittees and 2040 Water Resources and Infrastructure Committee.”
Mr. Carey was appointed to LICAP by NSWCA Board of Commissioners for his vast experience and dedication to the water industry. A Suffolk County resident, Mr. Carey has 30 years of water utility experience and is the Superintendent of Massapequa Water District, 2nd Vice Chairman of Long Island Water Conference, a member of American Water Works Association and a volunteer fireman. He has an Applied Science degree in Public Water Supply and is a certified water treatment operator. LICAP commission members are unpaid.
