Newtown Creek Alliance

Yesterday we took Hannah Kliger from CBS New York out on the water to talk about the legacy of the Greenpoint Oil Spill (discovered 45 years ago this month). While on the water we encountered two very compelling scenes the highlight the struggles between ecological and community health and fossil fuel related toxins.Scene 1:While inspecting the shoreline along the Greenpoint Oil Spill we saw and observed a fresh rainbow sheen on the inside of the containment boom of the Kinder Morgan (formerly BP) facility- meaning that the fuel likely originated from the shoreline itself, despite there being an extensive remediation system in place for years now to prevent seepage into the Creek. Just below the toxic surface water we observed multiple blue crane, including mating pairs.Scene 2: Upstream at the National Grid US facility we encountered a massive feeding frenzy with striped bass chasing bunker fish to the surface with gulls and cormorants taking advantage and gobbling up the fleeing bunker. Just a few feet away the surface waters revealed a much more troubling, and unfortunately common sight: coal tar bubbling up from below, the waste product from the former manufactured gas plant located here.Both the scenes highlight the necessity to properly remediate historic contamination on the properties surrounding Newtown Creek. The Greenpoint Oil Spill has been under remediation for decades, and despite huge strides in the recovery of product, it still requires extensive monitoring and maintenance. The National Grid site has no final cleanup plan in place and there are unknowns as to how the upland areas continue to impact the waterway directly.Seeing blue crabs and striped bass (both key human health receptors, ie free meals) return in large numbers to the Creek is both encouraging and concerning; a key reason why this waterway deserves a timely and thorough cleanup.Join us next Wednesday at the Newtown Creek Superfund CAG, for latest updates from EPA about these exact issues: newtowncreekcag.org/2023/09/virtual-newtown-creek-superfund-cag-meeting-wednesday-september-27-20...
