Hello from CG CORD!
Is the City of New York really serious about cleaning the Gowanus Canal?
Or is NYC committed to indefinite stalling and wrangling with the EPA at the taxpaper's and the water bill payer's expense?
We at CORD are very very concerned.
"Over decades, the City has never shown the will to clean the toxins at the bottom of the canal which cause real environmental hazards, nor has it ever addressed the Combined Sewer Overflow issue in any meaningful way." PMFA

While we compile our CORD summary from last night's CAG meeting we want to call your attention to a vital blog post at PMFA http://pardonmeforasking.blogspot.com/2014/06/dep-commissioner-lloyd-at-last-nights.html
Author Katia Kelly's blog summarizes the main points so well that we feel it should be a must read for all of us citizens of the Gowanus area and those who plan to invest their lives and monies and futures here. And the City of New York should read it as well.
We could even call it "Gowanus Canal Clean-Up 101" for the City of New York.
