to stabilize an embankment along the Cedar Pond Brook in Stony Point,
six years after Hurricane Irene washed it away.
Rockland County Executive Edwin Day said the $300,000 cost of the project will be covered by FEMA.

Wetlands, Inc. will start the physical work by the end of next month; no later than the first week of December.”
The project should be completed by next spring.
