The public is invited to attend a meeting of the Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group (CAG) with senior-level officials from the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on December 4 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at PS 32, 317 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn.

We want a comprehensive clean-up of the canal that enforces Clean Water Act requirements to eliminate sewage overflows.
The CAG encourages a strong public turnout at this meeting to show NYSDEC the community’s concern that the clean-up be done right.

NYSDEC is the only agency that has the right to review and provide comments to EPA on EPA’s Superfund clean-up plan prior to its release, which is expected by the end of 2012. Questions and comments will be collected from members of the public at the meeting to be answered by NYSDEC as time permits, or to be submitted for later response.

For more information, contact Jeff Edelstein, Gowanus CAG Facilitator, at [email protected].
