Tomorrow!!!!!! E.P.A. To Come Back To Gowanus Community To Answer Superfund Questions

Reminder
**************

The E.P.A. has been invited back to the community by C.B.6 to answer questions regarding the proposed Superfund Site designation for the Gowanus Canal. This will be the second time that the agency's representatives will address local residents. Last month, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke held a public information forum on the nomination. Since then, the City and our local officials have been hard at work coming up with an alternative plan to the Superfund designation. With little success, if one were to judge by the city's pitiful presentation of the alternative by Caswell Holloway, Chief of Staff for Deputy Mayor Schyler at this month's Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association meeting.

Just yesterday, CB6 sent out a notice that the agenda for the May 26th meeting has been revised and expanded to reflect that the City of New York will be attending as well.

This is the meeting notice from C.B.6

Presentation and discussion with representatives for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on a proposal to designate the Gowanus Canal and environs as a Superfund site, what a Superfund designation would mean for our community, learn more about the process used to make such a determination, and hear from representatives for the City of New York on the City’s plans to address Gowanus-related environmental conditions.

Superfund Informational Meeting

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
P.S. 32 Auditorium
317 Hoyt Street
(between Union & President Streets)
