The article outlines a plan to dispose of toxic Gowanus sludge this September through an eco industrial approach led by Quadrozzi and GBX. Vision workshops starting July seek community input for a potential community benefits agreement while local critics urge alternative uses of remediated material before private site transfer.
Community members discuss GBX as a potential waste disposal location highlighting concerns about environmental impact and local benefits. Proponents cite jobs and infrastructure, while residents push for stricter safeguards and alternatives.
EPA divides Gowanus Canal into three zones by contamination and rules out local disposal for the highest level waste. High level waste must go to upstate New York or New Jersey facilities. Local options include stabilizing intermediate and low level waste with cement for use in infrastructure or burying the least contaminated material 15 feet underground in a sealed Containment Disposal Facility. GBX representative Thomas predicts a safe EPA choice aimed at environmental protection. Gowanus Canal Conservancy calls for a careful environmental impact study before any disposal plan.
