Summary:Babylon's plan may have to jockey with a number of other Suffolk real estate projects competing for access to the Southwest Sewer District. The Bergen Point Sewage Treatment Plant in West Babylon currently handles about 24 million gallons of sewage per day; the maximum capacity is 30 million gallons, according to Charles Bartha, Suffolk's commissioner of public works. For Rizzo, the loss was compounded by the memory of how far Andrea had come. When she was 18 months old, Andrea was successfully treated for cancer of the nervous system that resulted in a tumor wrapped around her kidney. With the help of family and friends, [Susan Rizzo] set up the Andrea Rizzo Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit group to fund a pilot dance therapy program for the pediatrics department at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
