In 2017, the City of Long Beach entered into a Consent Agreement with DEC committing to the planning, design, construction, and operation of a project to divert wastewater from the Long Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility for treatment and discharge. The Long Beach WWTP would be converted to a pump station to enable this change. Currently, Nassau County is developing an Inter-Municipal Agreement with the City of Long Beach which will create the framework for the pump station conversion project. This project, in conjunction with the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility Effluent Diversion Project, would remove approximately 60 million gallons per day of wastewater effluent from Reynolds Channel and the Western Bays.
