Turmoil at the Gowanus CAG
The Gowanus Canal cleanup under EPA Superfund spans four years since the 2013 Record of Decision. National Grid and New York City fund the remedy to prevent recontamination while handling sewer overflows and tanks for storm sewage. Local groups press for residents, argue over eminent domain near Thomas Greene Park, and urge a trusted, inclusive CAG process with ongoing meetings and temporary pool options.
