AN ACT designating state owned lands, located in the hamlet of Westhamp-
  ton, town of Southampton, county of Suffolk, under the jurisdiction of
  the  state  department  of environmental conservation, as the Edwin M.
  Schwenk Memorial Nature Preserve

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  findings.  The legislature hereby finds that
Edwin M. Schwenk has given many years of dedicated public service to the
people of Long Island including major initiatives  to  protect  environ-
mentally sensitive land and open spaces.
  In  1993, Edwin Schwenk was directly involved with the creation of the
Long Island Pine Barrens Protection Act. This  legislation  created  the
third  largest land preserve in the state of New York and ended years of
expensive litigation for the  building  industry  while  protecting,  in
perpetuity, a sole source aquifer.
  Edwin  Schwenk also helped to spearhead the passage of the Peconic Bay
Regional Community Preservation Act  which  established  a  two  percent
transfer  tax on real estate sales to preserve open space and recreation
land on the East End of Long Island.
  Edwin Schwenk passed away on Thursday, December 17,  2009.  The  dedi-
cation  of  this  parcel  of  land  located  within the Long Island Pine
Barrens in his name will memorialize his  incredible  advocacy  for  his
community  and  his  unyielding  commitment  to protecting Long Island's
precious environmental resources.
  S 2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the approx-
imately 154.3 acres of state land, under the jurisdiction of  the  state
department of environmental conservation, located at Westhampton, county
of  Suffolk,  formerly known as the W.J.F. Realty property, also identi-
fied as Suffolk County Tax  Map  parcels:  0900-217-1-4;  0900-216-1-25;
0900-217-2-16,  0900-217-1-1,  shall  be  known  as the Edwin M. Schwenk
Memorial Nature Preserve. Said preserve shall be suitably  marked  in  a
manner  to  be prescribed by the commissioner of the department of envi-
ronmental conservation.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
