Gowanus Superfund Community Advisory Group

This is a historical day for Gowanus. After 150 years of environmental abuse, which turned it into one of the most contaminated bodies of water, there is a plan to remediate the 1.8 mile toxic canal, and that plan has just been written into law.
As promised, and keeping with their initial timeline, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)just released the signed Record Of Decision (ROD) for the clean-up of the Gowanus Canal Superfund.

At a press conference held on the shores of the canal this morning ,  EPA Regional Manager Judith Enck was joined by her amazing Region 2 team, which worked so tirelessly towards this moment:
Walter Mugdan, EPA Region 2's Director of the Division of Environmental Planning and Protection, Christos Tsiamis, EPA Region 2 project manager for the Gowanus Canal, Brian Carr, EPA Region 2 lawyer, and Natalie Loney, EPA Region 2 Community Involvement Coordinator.

The ROD represents the blue print for the remediation. The clean-up will cost $506 million, last 8 to 10 years, and will include dredging of the toxic material, caping, controls to reduce sources of contamination from uplands, as well as removal of contamination from the 1st Street Basin. Most importantly, the ROD will address and control the flow of contaminated sewage solids from the Combined Sewer Overflow. The EPA is requiring that discharges from two major outflows be captured in retention basins. This will reduce CSOs in the canal by an estimated 58 to 74%.

Enck took time to thank the community for all its input. The agency received over 1,800 comments from the public after it outlined the various clean-up methods in its Proposed Remediation Plan, which was released earlier this year.  The comments were carefully considered to chose the final remedy.
For example, the EPA decided to pass on the option of remediating the least contaminated sediment in a facility in Red Hook after residents made it clear that they would not support it.

Several members of the EPA Gowanus Canal Superfund Community Advisory Group (CAG) were also present this morning.  Member Lizzie Olesker read the statement below for the entire CAG.

The Gowanus Canal is the first EPA Superfund Site in Brooklyn, making the announcement of this Record of Decision (ROD) an historic event for the 2.5 million people of our borough. The much needed cleanup of the Gowanus Canal is long awaited; and this Record of Decision comes as a firm commitment to the people of Brooklyn that the contaminates of the Gowanus Canal will be removed from our dense urban environment. The CAG looks forward to a detailed review of the ROD and providing ongoing input to those elements that will impact the community moving forward. 

Formed in 2010, the mission of the Gowanus Canal CAG is to be a forum for dialogue between representatives of all segments of the community about the federal Superfund clean-up of the Gowanus Canal and other related issues of concern to the community 

This EPA Record of Decision (or ROD) is the outcome of more than 3 years of extensive meetings and discussions with the community and the Gowanus Canal CAG. The Gowanus Canal CAG is by far the largest, and most diverse community group ever formed to work with the EPA on a Superfund site. The CAG, having arrived at a number of consensus resolutions on the canal cleanup, is grateful for the opportunity and role it has had in the process leading up to this announcement of the Record of Decision. The CAG provided consensus resolutions to EPA supporting the overall scope and approach of the proposed plan, while stressing a focus on ecological restoration and honoring the historical character of the canal. 

The CAG appreciates the EPA's attentiveness to schedules and time frames in reaching this ROD. We understand that the CAG, as a community engagement tool, will take on new roles as this process unfolds. The Gowanus CAG looks forward to continuing a robust exchange with the EPA, as design plans for implementing the cleanup that is specified in the ROD moves forward in a timely manner. The CAG is committed to disseminating information about the Gowanus Canal and engaging all area stakeholders in ensuring that community issues are heard and articulated to EPA and other agencies. 

Information and a calendar of meetings for the Gowanus Canal CAG can be found at http://gowanuscag.org. The ROD will be discussed in detail at the next full meeting of the CAG on October 22, 2013.

As a resident of this community, I would like to thank the EPA Region 2 team for their dedication, their perseverance and all their hard work on our behalf.
Walter, Christos, Brian and Natalie, words can't adequately express my admiration. I hope you know what this day means to this neighborhood.

Gowanus Canal Superfund: Major Announcement Expected From EPA This Morning

This morning, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to release the Record Of Decision (ROD) for the Gowanus Canal clean-up.  The ROD explains which cleanup alternatives will be used to clean up the  Superfund site.  It is a giant step forward in the process and a big day for the Gowanus community.
The EPA announcement will be made at 11:00 AM in the Lowe’s parking lot.
From the official EPA press release:
"On Monday, September 30th, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck will be joined by Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez, state and local officials and community representatives to make a major announcement about the cleanup of the Gowanus Canal Superfund site in Brooklyn, New York, one of nation's most seriously contaminated bodies of water."

I'll be attending and will report more later this morning. Stay tuned.

No Escaping Brooklyn...

At Mel's Diner, Outer Banks, North Carolina

So, on our way down South to Surfside Beach, my husband and I stopped at Mel's Diner on the Outer Banks.  It was one of those wonderful joints filled with locals. That is, until someone walked in wearing a very familiar t-shirt from ChipShop, Brooklyn.
Obviously, Brooklyn follows me everywhere.

A Quick Sign Of Life From South Carolina

Dear Readers,
My apologies. I had meant to post this past week, but...
I have been down in Surfside , South Carolina for a quick visit with my father and to do some cleaning and maintenance on the family's beach house after the summer rental season.

I am heading back to New York tomorrow and will resume blogging about Carroll Gardens on Monday.
Please check in then for news of the neighborhood.
Cheers, Katia

Details on a beautiful brick building on President Street.  

I think this is one of my favorite in the neighborhood.

"At The Corner Of Third And Third": Documentary About Landmarked Coignet Stone Building Premieres In Brooklyn This Friday

The Coignet building in all its glory. An etching from 1873.

Historic photo of the Coignet Stone Company Building

To chronicle the past, present, and future of the landmarked Coignet Stone Company Building in Gowanus, writer and filmmaker Max Kutner has made a wonderful documentary entitled "At the Corner of 3rd and 3rd".
The film will be have its Brooklyn première this Friday, September 20th at part of the Greenpoint Film Festival, which just awarded it 'best documentary short."

After the screening, Max Kutner will be joined by writer and historian Joseph Alexiou for a Q& A.

Purchase tickets in advance here.

"At the Corner of 3rd and 3rd presents the first comprehensive look at the mysterious New York and Long Island Coignet Stone Company Building, a landmark in Gowanus, Brooklyn that has been largely abandoned since the 1960s. When Whole Foods breaks ground on a market just a few feet away from the building, the community looks to the future while fighting to preserve the past."

UPDATE: After Monday Night's Incidents, A Police Officer Will Be Stationed In Carroll Park Starting This Afternoon

Here is the news that many have been waiting for since Monday's fight that involves as many as twenty teen-agers in Carroll Park and shots fired close to the park later the same day.
Assemblywoman Millman's office just sent out the following press release:
Over the last few days, Assemblywoman Millman has spoken multiple times with Deputy Inspector Schiff of the 76th Precinct regarding the incidents that happened Monday in and around Carroll Park. Starting today (Thursday), there will be an officer stationed in Carroll Park from 3pm-6pm. 

Deputy Inspector Schiff will be in the park as well this afternoon. 

Finally, the next meeting of the Precinct Community Council has been rescheduled to Tuesday October 1st at the Miccio Center at 110 West 9th Street in Red Hook, 7:30pm. The precinct will provide transportation to anyone that needs it to the center.

This will certainly reassure many in the neighborhood. However, I must admit that I am still surprised that the 76th Precinct has not issued its own statement or update to the community.

***Update***

Illustrating Global Sea Level Rise With Benches: "The Gowanus Rising Bench Project"

If you haven't walked over the Union Street Bridge near Hoyt Street in the last few days, you may not yet have seen a row of wooden benches that are part of a very cool project by Raft, a "Brooklyn-based circle of builders and gardeners."
The project consists of seven benches which have been painted gradually in blue to illustrate how global sea level rise will affect the canal area.
Here is some additional information from Raft:

"The Gowanus area is a naturals saltwater marshland. Its banks have been built up with concrete embankments over the past hundred years.  During severe storms, the banks flood over these walls and into the surrounding streets.Global sea levels are expected to rise at least fifteen inches by the year 2050.Assembled, the benches will stand fifteen tall and will be installed on the western side of the Union Street thoroughfare between Nevins and Bond Street.  The Gowanus Rising Bench Project is designed and built out of discarded wood floors from the Meeker Avenue Flea Market in Greenpoint by Raft, a Brooklyn-based circle of builders and gardeners.The original piece was inspired by the remains of a bench left as trash on a Gowanus sidewalk. Each bench will be sponsored by a local business or individual who is committed to the responsible future development of the Gowanus neighborhood."

If you would like more information on the project or would like to sponsor a bench, leave your email address in a binder next to the installation at Union Street between the canal and Hoyt Street.

Also, at the same location, artist  Anne Deleporte has painted a mural entitled "Wet Water". Against a light blue background, Deleporte has added a series of incredibly whimsical images.  More detail here:  Showroom Gowanus

So don't miss walking across the Union Street Bridge past "The Rising Bench Project" and "Wet Water."

Tension Between Two Groups Of Kids In Carroll Gardens Seems To Have Mounted Over Quite Some Times

It would appear that a turf war between two groups of teen-agers that escalated into an attack which left a 17-year old hurt in Carroll Park on Monday afternoon may have been going on for quite some time now.

I spoke to several people who spend a significant time in the park and from the information I have been able to gather, the tension between two groups of teens has been mounting for almost two years now.

According to what I have been told, each group includes about 15 teens that congregate around Smith Street and Carroll Park on a regular basis after school lets out at 3 PM. One group seems to be coming from Hoyt Street, while the other comes down Court Street from the direction of the Place blocks.

The encounters mostly involved a lot of gesturing and posturing, but recently some have almost come to blows. Towards the end of last school year, a fight on President Street and Carroll Park between the rivals resulted in someone calling the police.  Two police cars responded and I personally witnessed two kids being led away in handcuffs by officers of the 76th Precinct.

One local resident who spends significant time in the park and witnessed Monday's attach, told me that the tension can be felt when the two groups meet. The resident told me that the stand-offs mostly involve the same kids, but don't always happen in the park. During the summer,  the groups apparently had skirmishes in other parts of the neighborhood.

The 76th Precinct is continuing to investigate Monday afternoon's attack. They are also investigating who shot a gun several times near the park at Court Street at 7:50 Pm that same night.  No word yet if the two have been linked or if this is indeed an escalation in the turf war.
In the meantime, there is a larger police presence around the park.

Best Comment Of The Day: Fighting Over Less Public Place

Anonymous has left the following comment on the post "Gang Turf War In Carroll Park?":

The population of Brooklyn is way up. Ten years ago Carroll Gardens was said to have the highest population under the age of 8. Well those kids are now teens and they have to share less space with all the baby's and young children in our very small park.Why haven't the city planners anticipated the quality-of-life issues that were bound to emerge?The most fearful aspect of a deBlasio administration is his plans to pack thousands of new housing units in the area around the canal.
More people (and kids) fighting over less public space will require more aggressive policing just to keep a lid on things. So what can we expect from an administration that will pack us more densely together and lighten the policing at the same time? Will we all be able to live more peaceably together because the babies have pre-k classes being payed for by the wealthy?

Best Comment Of The Day: A Word From Assemblywoman Joan Milllman On Incidents In Carroll Park

Here is a comment from Assemblywoman Joan Millman's office on Monday's incident in Carroll Park:

Assemblywoman Millman spoke with the Captain this afternoon and the office spoke with Community Affairs this morning. We were told the same information about the two incidents in and around Carroll Park yesterday. Our office is inquiring as to what needs to be done for a stepped up on the ground presence at the park and the precinct is investigating if the two incidents are related and what caused these incidents. It appears the first incident may have involved teenagers they got out of school.
Once we have more information I will follow up. Want to remind the community of the next Precinct Community Council meeting on Oct 8th at the 76th Precinct House on Union St at 730pm.

The Assemblywoman's office can be reached at 718-246-4889 or millmanj@nysa.us
