Gowanus Canal = Superfund Site?
Apr 9th, 2009 by Jervey
The E.P.A. is considering designating the Gowanus Canal as a superfund site. WNYC interviews David Yassky:
The federal Environmental Protection Agency wants to find out. It’s proposing putting the industrial waterway in Brooklyn on its Superfund site. Councilman David Yassky, whose district includes the nearly two-mile long canal, says this is good news.
YASSKY: The Gowanus Canal, if it’s cleaned up, we can then have housing and restaurants and the whole waterfront life right alongside it. But first we gotta clean it up.
