There will be three archaeologists total.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Have you figured out a way to save the movie studio (Eastern Effects)?<br \/>\nEPA: Yes, we do have an idea.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Will you share that with us, please?<br \/>\nEPA: Yes, in due time.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: What is the intended function for the greenery shelf? Will it absorb storm water from the land or just act as a salt marsh? Newtown Creek has some salt marshes on a floating bio dock \u2013 can you have a sub-meeting for your plans to discuss the implications for Newtown Creek?<br \/>\nEPA: The idea was to have more green surfaces and to create some kind of wetland for wildlife \u2013 that\u2019s how EPA interpreted the community\u2019s desires. We had a discussion with the City because somebody from the team suggested a floating marsh \u2013 we\u2019re considering some ideas and we\u2019re open to comments \u2013 we will get back to you.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Do you have a ballpark estimate for how much fill will be removed from the Basin?<br \/>\nEPA: We discussed it with AKRF \u2013 the number is 1,000 truckloads (50 days, 20 trucks per day)<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: These wetlands will not be very big. Will they be used in wetland banking? Will the person who restores them be able to go and destroy a wetland somewhere else?<br \/>\nEPA: No. This is the wetland bank for this project \u2013 it is self-contained and intended to offset encroachment from bulkheads and other effects.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: I want to reiterate our desire for terracing. Is there going to be some sort of access\u00a0from the public esplanade around the Power House to the Canal?<br \/>\nEPA: My information today is that there will be no public esplanade (Department of City Planning has confirmed but not officially). From discussions with the Power House, the esplanade around the Basin is not required so the esplanade will be around the Canal. Access will be only by water, which includes the shelf. If there\u2019s a different determination about whether the esplanade runs along the restored Basin, we\u2019ll work with that. Our understanding at the moment is that that the waterfront zoning requirement is just for the Canal strip; the Power House will have an esplanade just like Lightstone.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: It seems like there\u2019s a real opportunity to do an earthwork that voluntarily encroaches on the property as a creative solution to extending the soft edge further into their (private) property. Is there room for this conversation?<br \/>\nEPA: The conversation would have to happen with the private properties. There will be an approval process with DCP for the new development \u2013 EPA doesn\u2019t deal with zoning \u2013 that will be the appropriate place for input. EPA suggested this in discussion with DCP but it would require agreement among the property owners. The Power House appears receptive to this idea.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Will the excavated material be barged or trucked out? Is there any concern about accidents or public health?<br \/>\nEPA: The material will be trucked out in sealed trucks \u2013 these are known contaminants (semi-volatiles or volatiles). We will have a monitoring plan.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: For the next conversation on trucks and bridges \u2013 it\u2019s not just the contaminated sediment \u2013 constituents are also concerned about traffic and diesel emissions.<br \/>\nEPA: It\u2019s to everyone\u2019s advantage for the work to be done in a short amount of time. We\u2019re confident that this is the right way to do it. Where we have huge amounts of sediment, it will be moved by barge.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Who\u2019s going to be responsible for the plantings on the shelf, and what will they be? What will the material on the side of soft bank be constructed of? What will the shelf drain to?<br \/>\nEPA: We\u2019re working on the preliminary design. We\u2019ll bring in the experts and then take your input.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: The side basins tend to have more bacteria and higher turbidity than the main channel. Will the storm sewer be diverted from the Carroll Street Bridge and diverted to 3<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">rd<\/span>\u00a0Street? Has that been discussed with the City?<br \/>\nEPA: The City is proceeding with the storm sewer project. We\u2019re working with them to ensure that the chemicals in the stormwater are captured before they discharge into the Canal. The city is now conducting pilots of oil\/water separators at areas along the Canal to ensure that the Canal isn\u2019t contaminated.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Will you check private property owners\u2019 discharge permits to ensure that untreated stormwater isn\u2019t going into the 1<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">st<\/span>\u00a0Street Basin?<br \/>\nEPA: There are no outfalls now and we don\u2019t expect that anyone will create illegal outfalls after the excavation.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: That 10-foot wetland shelf will also be outside limits of the 1<span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">st<\/span>\u00a0Street Turning Basin. Will this also require cooperation with the property owners?<br \/>\nEPA: No, that will be within the 50 feet allotted.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: How long do you think construction will take (starting 2018)?<br \/>\nEPA: On the order of a year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Water Quality and Technical Committee Proposed Resolutions <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The idea behind these resolutions is that there\u2019s value in the edge and restoration of habitat. Numerous actions are currently in the design phase and we want to make sure we don\u2019t end up with a canal that is a sterile box of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Quality and Technical Committee Resolution #1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Questions and Answers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: I object to the word \u201cguarantee\u201d \u2013 (take out \u201cwhich\u201d and replace with \u201cthat\/where\/so there is no loss\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: How would the construction of the engineered shore line or bulkhead result in the loss of marine habitat?<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Can someone provide clarification from the meeting where this came up? The understanding was that putting the sewage tank at the head of Canal site would require building further into it.<br \/>\nEPA: Preserving habitat is very difficult for many reasons. There are private property concerns and technical and government difficulties. New York State is designing a cut-off wall for the Fulton MGP site (National Grid). The design EPA saw has an encroachment on the order of 1.5 to 2 feet (bulkhead with stability). EPA is pushing not to encroach because we believe there are other solutions.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Would you say that this resolution is still relevant to the cutoff wall? It was put together when we were talking about the sewage tanks.<br \/>\nEPA: Yes, of course.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Amendment was called to reword to \u201cdesign solution at head of Canal that prevents loss of the vital resource\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VOTE: Proposed amendment. Amendment\u00a0passes.<\/p>\n<p>VOTE: Resolution as amended. Motion passes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Quality and Technical Committee Resolution #2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Questions and Answers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Grammatical change \u2013 \u201cThe CAG urges the EPA to develop a design solution that includes treatment of Canal edge surfaces that are supportive of marine life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VOTE: Vote on revised resolution. Motion passes.<\/p>\n<p>Doug Sarno:\u00a0Both resolutions will be posted on the website. There are no formal procedures for sending out resolutions. They usually go back to the committees but the Facilitation Committee is working on a more consistent approach. The Water Quality Committee will post the resolutions on the website.

There is no conflict between EPA and DOT on the work schedule.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Are you also talking to them about long-term stormwater controls on the bridges?<br \/>\nEPA: From our perspective, as regards future maintenance of EPA\u2019s planned work, a draw bridge may be more desirable. EPA will comment when DOT submits the navigational plan to the Coast Guard.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outreach Committee\n<ul>\n<li>Nothing to report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Water Quality and Technical Committee\n<ul>\n<li>Did not meet in June<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Administration Committee\n<ul>\n<li>New member application: Peter Reich \u2013 lives in the neighborhood, wants to represent 280 Nevins Street tenants&#8217; organization.

A new organization does not have a permanent seat \u2013 if it\u2019s not filled, then it goes away.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Can you tell us a little about 280 Nevins Street? How many people are in the building?<br \/>\nPeter: We are next in line after Eastern Effects, between Sackett Street and the alleyway on Union Street on the Canal side. There are 18 people in the building, 12 adults and 6 children. Most of us are artists or creative types and many of us have been there since the early 80s.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: How many units of housing?<br \/>\nPeter: There are 7 \u2013 the building is capable of holding many more but there\u2019s a strange landlord situation. It\u2019s a large loft building (formerly 4 floors of commercial use) and could be better utilized. It\u2019s a designated AIR (artists-in-residence) building.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Would you be on the Water Quality Committee?<br \/>\nPeter: I would like to work with the Land Use Committee.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: In the application it says you have a good idea of legalized M-1\/M-2 lofts and why they are necessary. Why is this important?<br \/>\nPeter: This is a rare holdover that hasn\u2019t been changed into condominiums \u2013 I want to make sure that I represent the tenants in the building who want to maintain live\/work space.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: Peter was actively engaged in the conversation around Eastern Effects.<\/p>\n<p>CAG Member: You\u2019re having problems with the landlord \u2013 is he trying to prevent artists from moving in?<br \/>\nPeter: No, it\u2019s just inaction.
