Join your neighbors in giving voice to the community as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cleans up the heavily contaminated Meeker Avenue Plume Superfund site. All are welcome, no priori knowledge or expertise required. The Community Advisory Group’s (CAG’s) purpose is to provide a public forum for community members to present and discuss their needs and concerns related to the Superfund decision-making process.

As part of our Lost Bridges of Newtown Creek Series, Newtown Creek Alliance is hosting a cleanup at the site of the former Penny Bridge. We have been leading cleanups to help transform this public waterfront site since 2017. Learn more about the history of the site here.

Our goal is to improve environmental conditions at these sites, while also making them safer and more inviting as green public areas along the shore. We are looking for volunteers to help us conduct some simple and routine maintenance tasks including trash and debris removal, managing overgrown areas, and path-maintenance.
