Submit comments to the DEC about the Brownfield Program
<div>Dear Mr. Miller:</div> <div> </div> <div>As a resident of the neighborhood I want to share my concerns about the Draft Remedial Work Plan for the Gowanus Canal Northside Site, Site No. C224080.</div> <div> </div> <div> <div> <ul> <li>The Gowanus Canal Northside Site lies in a high-risk FEMA Flood Zone A. </li> <li>Any remediation plans that leave behind toxic materials must have a plan to deal with the known potential for those toxins to move inland, in particular because of storm surge and sea level rise. </li> <li>DEC must address how this brownfield decision will affect the potential of toxins to remain and move through the land, air and water around the site.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Under the New York State Constitution we have a right to clean air, land and water. DEC must assess the impacts of these remaining toxins on our constitutional rights.</li> </ul> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>Sincerely,</div>
