Being called a NIMBY is not usually a good thing because it stands for Not In My Back Yard. This phrase is often used for folks that seem concerned about something only when it is near their property. But in this case we want you to be a NIMBY and remember the Niantic In My Back Yard.
If you live in the Niantic River Watershed, which includes parts of East Lyme, Waterford, Salem and Montville, then drainage from your site ends up in local streams such as Latimer Brook, Stony Brook, and Oil Mill Brook. These all drain to the Niantic River, then into Long Island Sound.
This means we are all responsible for what happens in our local streams and rivers as well as Long Island Sound. It also means we can all do our part in helping the Niantic River and all its ponds, streams, brooks and wetlands.
