Community Looks to EPA Gowanus Plan for Clean Canal
Local leaders express optimism about the EPA proposed cleanup for the Gowanus Canal. The plan favors dredging and off site stabilization of contaminated sediment, soil and water quality improvements, stormwater controls, and habitat restoration while stressing collaboration with DEC and NYC agencies. Community concerns include placement of an inline storage tank and impacts on Red Hook spaces and Salt Lot composting project.
