Gowanus Canal Inquiry Underlines Severity of Pollution
A yearlong investigation of the Gowanus Canal in preparation for its cleanup under the federal Superfund program has confirmed the severe extent of its contamination and the threat it poses to public health, particularly for people who eat fish from the canal or have repeated contact with its water or sediment.
Officials with the federal Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday released the results of a study it conducted of the Brooklyn waterway, which was named a Superfund site last March over the objections of the Bloomberg administration. The cleanup, which E.P.A. officials said would surely involve major dredging, is expected to start by 2015 and last 10 to 11 years at an estimated cost of $300 million to $500 million to be paid for by polluters.
Tests of water, sediment and tissue from fish like striped bass and white perch showed heavy contamination from a combination of industrial and sewage discharges, some of which continue, federal officials said. The canal is polluted with more than a dozen contaminants, including suspected carcinogens like polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs; metals like mercury, lead and copper; and debris including sunken vessels.
For more than a century after it was carved out of tidal wetlands and streams in the 1860s, the Gowanus served as a teeming route for oil refineries, chemical plants, tanneries, manufactured gas plants and other heavy industry along its banks. Most of the industrial traffic has faded since the 1960s, although waste still flows into the canal and it is used by some businesses and recreational boaters from neighborhoods bordering it, including Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook.
The most prevalent pollutant in the canal, officials said Wednesday, is a group of chemicals known as P.A.H.’s, for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, another suspected carcinogen. Formed during the incomplete burning of coal, oil, gas, wood, garbage or other organic substances, the chemicals were found mostly near former manufactured gas plants along the canal.
In a telephone conference call with reporters Wednesday, the E.P.A. regional administrator in New York, Judith A. Enck, reiterated warnings that people should not swim in the canal or eat its fish. While boating should not be restricted, Ms. Enck said, recreational users should avoid coming in contact with the water.
“What we found is no surprise,” she said. “The report paints a pretty serious picture of the level of contamination.”
Ms. Enck said the contamination was so severe that she was not ready to say whether the Gowanus would ever be “swimmable and fishable.” On a positive note, she said that air samples from around the canal did not reveal contamination above “acceptable” safety standards.
In opposing the designation of the Gowanus as a Superfund site, the Bloomberg administration argued that the label could set off legal battles with polluters, prolong the dredging operation and scare off developers, and proposed its own cleanup plan instead.
But city officials are now working with the E.P.A., and the city’s environmental protection commissioner, Caswell F. Holloway IV, said the report reflected efforts already undertaken locally to reduce the flow of contaminants into the canal.
“The report rightly acknowledges the $140 million of investments the city is already making to improve water quality in the canal,” Mr. Holloway said in a statement. “Once complete in 2013, upgrades to the canal’s flushing tunnel and pumping station will cut combined sewer overflows by 34 percent.”
Ms. Enck of the E.P.A. called the new data, collected from January to November of last year, “a critical milestone” in the process of mending the 1.8-mile canal, which runs to New York Harbor from Gowanus Bay.
The next step is a feasibility study by the agency to review the technologies available for a full-scale cleanup and to come up with a recommended method by the beginning of next year. The recommendation will be subject to public comment, and once approved, would require two years of design work before the cleanup could begin.
The E.P.A. has scheduled a public meeting to discuss the findings on Feb. 23 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Public School 32 in Brooklyn. A draft report of the results of the investigation is available online at epa.gov/region02. |
