Dear Mr. Tsiamis:
Words
cannot fully express my gratitude I have for you and your (Region 2)
team. Your expertise and passion in doing the right thing to protect our
environment and the overall health and safety of this community have
been proven many times over with your dedicated and transparent
commitment in working closely with us and helping us to understand the
full Superfund process.
Scientifically
technical and politically sensitive, you and your team were there to
clarify and balance the differences and to unite a community toward a
comprehensive cleanup so desperately and deservingly due.
To
find a place you can call home is a rare find. To find a place with
selfless, generous, caring community-minded people is a blessing. I have
been fortunate to come across both and now triple-blessed to have you
and your team a part of it.
I
wholeheartedly support the PRAP and deeply believe and trust you and
your team will thoroughly clean and protect the Gowanus Canal for us now
and all future generations to come.
With the deepest respect and thanks,
Maryann Young
