Flood Level Marker - Bay Park, New York. - High Level Marks on Waymarking.com

Hurricane Sandy is referred to as Super Sandy was an extremely destructive and strong Atlantic hurricane.
"Hurricane Sandy cause significant damage to the New York Metro area, including the south shore Long Island where infrastructure on the barrier island and waterfront communities on the mainland was devastated and crippled. Perhaps no greater example was the failure of the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant in East Rockaway, NY, where Sandy's storm surge sent nine feet of saltwater into the facility, causing extensive damage. The plant went offline for two days and an estimated 68 million gallons of raw sewage was released into the Western Long Island South Shore Estuary. In days following the storm, the facility began releasing partially treated sewage into the estuary for approximately seven weeks while repairs were being conducted." (source) (visit link)
Nassau County has constructed a protective earthen berm and an 18 foot wall around the perimeter of the facility sewage treatment plant.
