Tens of thousands of gallons of nasty, only partially treated sewage was accidentally unloaded into a Long Island bay for roughly 15 straight minutes on Sunday, state officials confirmed.   Nearly 30,000 gallons of sewage water that had not been disinfected was dumped into Reynold’s Channel in Long Beach — forming a nasty-looking, dark-colored sludge — after a plant operator failed to close a valve, according to Long Beach officials.   That failure, according to state and local officials, caused an overflow into the facility’s stormwater system that sent the waste pouring into the waterway near the city’s fishing pier.
