Today was our second #waterquality sampling day of 2019. This will be our fourth season of regular monitoring in partnership with @laguardiacc - and we look forward to a full and relatively healthy season out on #newtowncreek

Hopefully conditions will improve from 2018 when abnormally high levels of rainfall led to an increase in #combinedseweroverflow and some horrific water quality results. Image 2 shows the last 3 years of collection across 5 sites in the Creek. As seen, the sewage indicating bacteria Enterococcus was well above #cleanwateract standards.

Remember to conserve water during rainstorms to combat CSO and help protect places like Newtown Creek.

Major thanks to @gcefund and @nysdec for supporting our sampling program. Find out more about our results on our website. @ Greenpoint, Brooklyn ... See MoreSee Less

"TF Cornerstone as part of the plan would provide 3.6 acres of public space adjacent to Newtown Creek. The space, while remaining in the hands of TF Cornerstone, would essentially be an extension of Hunters Point South Park.

The reaction of the Community Board 2 committee was mixed. Some liked the concept of creating green space where the yard is and seeing the north and south sides connect.

But there was concern about the influx or residents that the plan might bring, even if it brings affordable housing that now come with all rezonings. "
