State DEC: 6 more concrete blocks found buried at Bethpage Community Park

Six more concrete blocks have been found buried at Bethpage Community Park, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

It says they were discovered last week. Crews were back at the site Monday in full-body yellow suits drilling into the ground at the ballfield.

The DEC says Northrup Grumman's contractors uncovered the blocks after examining historical photos of the park. The DEC is overseeing the work and says there is no immediate threat to the public .

Bethpage residents say they are skeptical. "Children have played on that field, and it's a darn shame,” said one resident. “It's right across from the high school. We pray that it's not affecting our water."

The DEC says the blocks will be investigated this week and that crews will continue digging in the area where they were found.
