The Environmental Protection Agency will begin a pilot project to remove debris from the Gowanus Canal’s 4th Street Basin on or about Monday, October 24. The work is expected to last three to four weeks.
Debris removal is a precursor to the dredging of contaminated materials, and is necessary to maximize the efficacy of the dredging operation. The work in the 4th Street Basin will inform the EPA’s efforts to remove debris and dredge material from the entirety of the Gowanus Canal.
Work will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will not involve any major trucking activity.
