For structural stability, the new bulkhead support system requires tieback anchors to be drilled through the face of the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per Aaron Kaufman:\u00a0 AquaBlok goes down at the bottom of where the old bulkhead meets the new bulkhead.\u00a0 The gravel goes up to the level of the parking lot.\u00a0 The tieback attaches to the new bulkhead and through the old one and deep into the soil (up to 50 feet deep) and the soil holds it in place.\u00a0 This type of tieback is an industry-accepted standard and has been used elsewhere (in answer to Louis&#8217;s question).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2)\u00a0 Was the Whole Foods site footprint remediated when it was built?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Whole Foods property is in NYSDEC\u2019s Brownfield Cleanup Program and was remediated in approximately 2013. EPA was satisfied with the remedy at that time. Please refer to the NYSDEC Brownfield Cleanup Program website for further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Although the answer to this question was yes, see the answer to # 3 below &#8211; not so reassuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3)\u00a0 Can the new bulkhead be perforated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perforations have been made solely to extend existing outfalls. Otherwise, these bulkheads are typically required to be sealed without perforations as a backup cleanup measure in case there was&nbsp;undetected residual subsurface contamination present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4)\u00a0 What is the plan on the &#8220;mural&#8221; side (south side of the channel)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming that this is the bulkhead support in front of Dykes Lumber, this bulkhead replacement was completed as part of the Turning Basin 4 pilot study with minimal need to offset into the Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5)\u00a0 How much water (Canal surface area) are we losing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encroachment into the Canal along the newly installed bulkhead support system along the Whole Foods properties varies from one foot to 10 feet. This encroachment was unavoidable due to the condition of the existing sheet pile bulkhead that was installed at a significant incline. EPA is still considering potential approaches with respect to this encroachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This answer is, so far, not responsive.\u00a0 In terms of how much water we are losing in the turning basin, that question remains outstanding.\u00a0 We cannot know if we are getting this volume back at other places on the Canal if we don&#8217;t know what the volume lost is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6)\u00a0 How will what we lose here be returned to us at Turning Basins 1 &amp; 11 (near Lowe&#8217;s in Remedial Target Area 3)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In coordination with EPA, the Trust is currently designing a wetland in the former First Street Turning Basin to provide ecological value and recreational benefits to the community and to offset water area lost by bulkhead encroachment throughout the project area. Additional encroachment mitigation will occur beneath the Third Avenue bridge and slightly into the Fifth Street Turning Basin, pursuant to plans which are still being developed. At Turning Basin 11, encroachment from the bulkhead construction is anticipated due to structural limitations from the former Pathmark building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, it sounds from this answer as though we will not get anything back at Turning Basin 11.\u00a0 So we want to know what is anticipated to be lost at this turning basin as well.\u00a0 As far as the 1st Street and 5th Street turning basins go, we have no idea yet what the designs will look like &#8211; they are in the planning stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7)\u00a0 Will the CAG be involved in the designs for Turning Basins 1 &amp; 11?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EPA anticipates sharing the designs for these areas with the CAG to obtain feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8)\u00a0 Are there preliminary designs already?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning Basin 1 is currently at the conceptual design phase. We anticipate that the design will advance in 2025. There have been no changes made to the Turning Basin 11 design from the RTA2 Remedial Design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will follow up with an email to Natalie to add to the January meeting agenda a walk-through of the Remedial Design Plan for RTA 2.\u00a0 We&#8217;d like to know what encroachment is happening in RTA 2 and what we are getting back: actual numbers, actual volume.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9)\u00a0 As for the fill between the bulkheads, what will it be?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in the Whole Foods property, a minimum one-foot layer of AquaBlok will be placed in the gap between old bulkheads and new bulkheads, followed by gravel to existing grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10)\u00a0 Can we expect mounding of the water from the underground streams?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on groundwater modelling efforts documented in the RTA2 100% Design Appendix B18 calculation package, the forecasted mounding near Whole Foods ranges from less than 0.5 foot to 1.5 feet. Groundwater mounding in the vicinity of Turning Basin 1 will be evaluated as part of the TB1 design effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of questions arise from the question and answer above.\u00a0 Is the mounding a rise in groundwater level of 0.5 feet to 1.5 feet?\u00a0 If so, where does that put the groundwater level at and around the Whole Foods area and the other side of that turning basin.\u00a0Under what circumstances is mounding happening?\u00a0 Is the mounding due to underground streams?\u00a0Anecdotally, at least two CAG members are hearing from Park Slope residents as far up the slope as 8th Avenue that they are experiencing basement flooding that they never experienced before; the water is coming through their basement walls.\u00a0Has a new hydrology\/groundwater study been done that takes the underground streams extending up into Park Slope into account?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11) Is there a plan to use rip rap (layers of stones, dirt, pebbles, in essence) for fill?\u00a0 Presumably there would need to be weep holes or cutback of the new bulkhead for that to even work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bulkhead support system designs in RTA2 all require a one-foot layer of AquaBlok followed by gravel backfill. The bulkhead supports have been designed to not require weepholes. The only perforations in the bulkheads are for extending select outfalls. EPA is reviewing options for minimizing the extent of and visual impacts from the encroachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We next turned to the issue of following up with DEC regarding reclassification of the waters of the Gowanus Canal.\u00a0 Erica is drafting and will send a follow up to Mr. Fegal at DEC to check the status since we don&#8217;t know what changes at EPA may affect the cleanup and\/or the reclassification oversight by EPA of DEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Louis will reach out to a former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmablenyc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SWIM Coalition<\/a> member to see if that person still has contacts with SWIM.\u00a0 We will check to see what they may or may not be doing with regard to reclassification of New York waters, including the Gowanus.\u00a0Louis believes that they sought reclassification of the Gowanus as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attendees Joan Salome-Rodriguez (Facilitator), Katia Kelly, Louis Kleinman, Susan Yung, Erica Eliason.Guests:\u00a0 Terri Thomson, Aaron Kaufman, Corinne Brenner The Committee discussed the following questions and decided which answers from Victoria&#8230;  <a href=\"https:\/\/gowanuscag.org\/index.php\/2025\/01\/18\/minutes-of-the-january-7-2025-meeting-of-the-gowanus-canal-cags-water-quality-technical-committee\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read Minutes of the January 7, 2025 Meeting of the Gowanus Canal CAG&#8217;s Water Quality &#038; Technical Committee\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[96,12,4],"tags":[31,84,257,73],"class_list":["post-13347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-committee-meetings","category-frontpage","category-water-quality-technical","tag-gowanus-cag","tag-meeting","tag-turning-basins","tag-water-quality"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Minutes of the January 7, 2025 Meeting of the Gowanus Canal CAG&#039;s Water Quality &amp; Technical Committee - Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gowanuscag.org\/index.php\/2025\/01\/18\/minutes-of-the-january-7-2025-meeting-of-the-gowanus-canal-cags-water-quality-technical-committee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Minutes of the January 7, 2025 Meeting of the Gowanus Canal CAG&#039;s Water Quality &amp; Technical Committee - Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Attendees Joan Salome-Rodriguez (Facilitator), Katia Kelly, Louis Kleinman, Susan Yung, Erica Eliason.Guests:\u00a0 Terri Thomson, Aaron Kaufman, Corinne Brenner The Committee discussed the following questions and decided which answers from Victoria...
