The Town of Brookhaven has agreed to pay almost $250,000 dollars in fines, as a result of a lawsuit filed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The Department of Justice announced in a press release that Brookhaven Town has also agreed to bring the town landfill into compliance with the Clean Air Act. Under the agreement, the Town will install and operate systems that reduce and monitor landfill gases, including sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and methane.
