s while reducing toxic discharges from combined sewer overflows by 58 74 and halting the flow of contamination from properties along the canal the epa has also asked the red hook community if they would support the creation of a confined disposal facility cdf on the red hook waterfront to permanently dispose of sediment from the least contaminated section of the canal after it has been treated

froggs prophesies have come true with the arrival of hurricane sandy frogg uses science as a barometer and has been talking about sea levels climate change flooding and water contamination in response

items these are some photos of what i saw to me the thing that makes coney island such a special place is how no matter how urban it s side streets are you can never get away from how mother nature is really the one who owns the place even without hurricane sandy so excuse me if these photos seem to jump back from the streets to the beach but that s coney garbage has not seemed to have been picked up in a while on mermaid avenue the coney island pier is still standing but will need some help eventually volunteers cleaning the beach area at coney island window with food on the sill at the warbasse houses which houses thousands of elderly and still does not have power many volunteers showed up today to climb over 20 flights of stairs to check on residents and to donate supplies brooklyn borough president marty markowitz at the fema staging area in coney island coney island residents waiting for supplies at fema staging area getting water from fire hydrants which will probably have to carried up many flight of stairs the sand came up from the beach a couple blocks past surf avenue frightening sand on the boardwalk volunteers were shoveling it back to the beach coney island will rise again but will be needing help for quite some time i heard people say that power may not be on until november 10th that s another week of no heat no hot water no elevators and a whole lot of stress and it is cold there donations most needed are blankets coats flashlights powerstrips baby items such as diapers wipes boxed milk pediasure as well as insure first aid items cleaning items and non perishable food there are no markets for these people to shop in right now click here to see where you can drop off donations or donate manpower to not only coney island but all the communities in

street was littered with logs the logs seemed to have been pushed to bond street when the waters breached from this 1rst street lot on the shore of the canal although the canal sort of looked pretty with this psychedelic rainbow slick it made the air smell like gas today this water is full of toxic poisons and we were very lucky we didn t get heavy rains last night as the water would not have receded so quickly with the tides on the night of the storm surge up bond street i looked out my window and was so frightened when i saw large objects floating up the street next time i might evacuate i was considered zone b even though i was about 20 feet from zone a today basements are flooded and the streets are full of potentially toxic debris we really don t know the health risks of being in contact with this water which is a very good point on why building a huge 700 unit apartment building on the shores of the gowanus in a zone a evactuation area is a bad idea posted by lisanne 0 comments gowanus waters surge and fill bond street this scary footage was taken last night as the waters surged from the gowanus canal and began to fill bond street at a frighteningly quick speed the brave person who took this footage i live on bond and i was cowering in the middle of my apartment with the lights off having anxiety attacks has a very sane and logical message for lightstone

anticipated rain has not even started the boats are swaying and anything that is in the canal is thrashing about houses in the zone a areas did not really seem evacuated but precautions were being taken as far as putting tape on windows and sandbags on cellar doors 340 342 bond street waits for hurricane sandy at 9 pm on sunday night this scarano condo building at 340 342 bond street had all it s doors fortified with sandbags recently the gowanus carroll gardens community has learned that developer lightstone properties wants to build a 700 unit apartment building on this very block directly on the shores of the gowanus canal in a category a evacuation zone it makes me wonder is this project about creating safe housing for people or really about developers making ruthless profit by putting people in harms way building on a federal superfund site seems like a bad idea to start but to also build in a flood plain in which the floods include raw sewage makes it even a worse idea and to build in a place that right now is in the midst of a mandatory evacuation seems like a really really bad idea in fact there was supposed to be a hearing about it tomorrow but it s been cancelled due to the hurricane now is the time for our elected officials and city planning to start opening up their eyes climate change is real and we are living it now click here to contact 39th district

again the gowanus community is up against a developer looking to make a fast buck in the name of affordable housing and jobs if approved this development will situate itself on bond street between 2nd street and carroll street in the same place as the toll brothers proposed to build their project which housed 200 less units than this toll brothers abandoned the project when the epa declared this a toxic waterway and designated it a superfund site the developers lightstone group are using an environmental impact statement or eis from the days before it became a superfund site and have admitted
