Key components of East Hampton Town’s legal challenge to the extension of the mining permit at a sand mine in East Hampton that would allow the mine to be excavated down another 110 feet, creating a 6-acre, 100-foot deep lake of exposed groundwater were dismissed by a state judge. MICHAEL WRIGHT
The sand pit on Middle Highway in East Hampton known as Sand Highway.
