Contractors working under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are in the process of installing bulkhead support systems along the Gowanus Canal between 3rd Street and Hamilton Avenue, designated as Remedial Target Area 2. The bulkhead supports, which will take approximately two years to install, will prevent the collapse of existing canal-front structures when dredging of contaminated sediment begins. You can read about this work, and other news, in the EPA’s Community Update #7, embedded below and available as a PDF here.
