CANDIDATE REFERENCE AREAS SELECTED FOR RECONNAISSANCE SAMPLING The areas to be sampled, shown on Figure 1, are generally located throughout Jamaica Bay and along portions of Lower and Upper East River. The 14 candidate reference areas shown were selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on September 27, 2012 (Kwan 2012) after review of proposed candidate reference areas. These 14 areas were selected to provide multiple candidate areas within four general categories—industrial with combined sewer overflows (CSOs), industrial with no or minimal CSO input, non-industrial with CSOs, and non-industrial with no or minimal CSO input. Table 1 lists the 14 candidate reference areas and the general category they were placed in. The target locations within each candidate reference area are shown on Figures 2 through 15 and are listed in Table 2 of this memorandum. The sampling activities to be completed, which are summarized in this memorandum, will be performed in a manner consistent with the methods outlined in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Work Plan (RI/FS Work Plan; AECOM 2011) and described in greater detail in the Field Sampling and Analysis Plan (FSAP; Anchor QEA 2011a).

Provide background and overview of Long Term Control Plan process for Westchester Creek 2. Present Westchester Creek watershed characteristics and status of waterbody improvement projects 3. Obtain public input on waterbody uses in and future vision for Westchester Creek 4. Describe additional opportunities for public input and outreach 4 What is a Combined Sewer Overflow? Approximately 60% of NYC’s sewer system is combined, which means it is used to convey both sanitary and storm flows. Heavy rain and snow storms can lead to higher than normal flows in combined sewers . When flows exceed twice the design capacity of treatment plants, a mix of excess stormwater and untreated wastewater may discharge directly into the city’s waterways . This is called a combined sewer overflow (CSO). CSOs are a concern because of their potential effect on water quality and recreational uses in local waterways. 5 Stakeholder Input DEP wants to hear from you! . What is your vision for the future for Westchester Creek? . How do you and other community members/ stakeholders use Westchester Creek (e.g., recreation)? . Combined Sewer Overflow or Water Quality improvement measures or alternatives you would like DEP to consider and evaluate .

TUESDAY, JULY 12 FROM 6:30 TO 8:30 PM join BCEQ and HEP for a public workshop about the needs of WESTCHESTER CREEK AND THE EAST RIVER WATERSHEDS and the greater NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary at Owen Dolen Recreation Center 1398 Lane Ave, Bronx, NY 10461 We’ll be talking about… WaterWater Quality Quality HabitatHabitat Restoration Restoration PublicPublic Access Access Sediment Sediment and and Ports Ports PublicPublic Education Education The New York-New Jersey Harbor and Estuary Program (HEP) is a partnership of government agencies, civic organizations, and scientists that working towards a common to-do list for improving the waters, waterfronts, and watersheds of the NY-NJ Harbor and Estuary. HEP’s 2017 Action Agenda – a critical mandate of the Clean Water Act – will guide how HEP uses its funding, programmatic, and research capacities to carry out those shared goals. The Bronx Council for Environmental Quality (BCEQ) has sought to establish — as an Inherent Human Right — a sound, forward-looking environmental policy regarding an aesthetic, unpolluted, environment protecting a natural and historic heritage. Since 2001, they have worked on water issues, and recently formed the East Bronx Coastal Working Group for Westchester Creek, the Hutchinson River and the Long Island Sound. Other groups will present information including: the Long Island Sound Study (LISS), and invited speakers from the Natural Areas Conservancy, and the NYC Department of Parks.

  • Environmental Groups Sue Over Unsafe Waters in New York City
    For Immediate Release Contacts: Cliff Weathers, Riverkeeper, 845-445-8257, [email protected] Laura McMillan, Save the Sound, 540-292-8429, [email protected] Kimiko Martinez, Natural Resources Defense Council, 310-434-2344, [email protected] Maia Raposo, Waterkeeper Alliance, 212-747-0622 x116, [email protected] Environmental Groups Sue over Unsafe Waters in New York City Lax Oversight Allows City and State to Evade Health Protections, Continue Sewer Overflows of 20 Billion Gallons/Year NEW YORK (June 29, 2017) — A coalition of nine New York City, regional, and national environmental organizations, represented by the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic, filed suit in federal court today against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The complaint alleges that EPA is failing to protect the health of people who swim, boat, and fish in New York City waters by not forcing New York State to update its decades-old water quality standards. EPA and New York State are responsible for ensuring that New York City fixes the untreated sewage overflows that contaminate the City’s waters scores of times each year. But the State still relies on dangerously outdated water quality standards that do not protect those who come into contact with the water from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that cause intestinal illnesses, rashes and infections. The pollution also has ecological impacts, as excess nitrogen in sewage fuels algae blooms and low-oxygen dead zones in Long Island Sound. Since 1986, EPA has known that New York State’s standards must be updated to match federal health standards, and has formally notified the state.
