Santillo, Ph.D., President, Northern Ecological Associates, Inc. (NEA) Mr. Keith Brewer, Biologist, NEA This discussion will characterize the existing biological benthic environment in order to identify the invertebrate species that inhabit and utilize the Gowanus Canal. 11:00 - 11:20 Gowanus Canal HTRW/Geotechnical Site Investigation John Berezniak, P.E., USACE, Baltimore District; Marty Goff, P.E.,USACE, New York District This presentation discusses the results of a Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) and geotechnical site investigation performed within the Gowanus Bay and Canal during April and May 2003. The objective of this site investigation was to characterize the geotechnical and chemical conditions of the sediments located within the Gowanus Bay and Canal. The data obtained in this investigation include engineering properties of the sediments; as well as, identifying the levels, types, and distribution of contamination. The field crew also assisted with the biological sampling of the canal. This was an opportunity to combine several varied sampling endeavors in one effort. The information gathered from this investigation may be used to identify the problems currently affecting the estuary and as a means to inventory conditions within the canal. Results may also be used in the formulation of an effective restoration alternative for the Gowanus Canal. 11:20 - 11:40 Sediment Decontamination for Waterfront Revitalization and Ecosystem Restoration Eric A. Stern, Regional Contaminated Sediment Program Manager, United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2 11:45 - 1:00 LUNCH Exhibit Room Open, Poster Session 12:15 Introduction of Keynote Speaker by Dr. Martin P. Schreibman 12:15 – 1:00 Keynote Speaker: Dr. John Teal Urban Wetlands Restoration: Principles, Permitting and Practical Solutions Dr. Teal will use examples from two salt water systems (Jamaica Bay and DelawareBay) and two urban rivers (the Los Angeles River that flows through Los Angeles County in California, and the Lower Fox River in Wisconsin). Dr. Teal will discuss benefits to the ecosystem and to the surrounding communities. Dr. Teal is a renowned expert on wetland ecology and restoration. His doctoral thesis at Harvard, which examined the trophic relationships of a tiny cold spring in Massachusetts, was the start of a long and distinguished career. He joined the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1961 and has been Scientist Emeritus since 1995. He has participated in a number of classic studies of wetlands, and has worked with communities around the world to effect problem-solving strategies to clean up polluted waterways and wetlands, restore fresh and saltwater marshes, and construct wetlands for wastewater treatment. Since 1993 he has been involved with the Delaware Bay salt marsh restoration project, the largest wetland restoration program in the Northeast. Dr. Teal is the co-author of the classic book, Life and Death of the Salt Marsh. First published thirty-five years ago, this beautifully written and highly influential book has revealed the importance of Eastern seaboard marshland ecosystems to several generations of readers. AFTERNOON PLENARY SESSION Session III: Urban Canals: Current Research and Lessons Learned 1:00 Moderator: Joseph Porrovecchio, Regional Director, Ports, Harbors & Waterways, Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. 1:05 - 1:25 Gowanus Data Gap Report Presentation (Chemical, Biological, Water Quality) Thomas C. Gulbransen, Regional Manager, Battelle 1:25 - 1:45 NYCDEP Waterbody and Watershed Planning Approaches, including details on the Gowanus Canal William E. McMillan, Jr., P.E., Senior Project Manager, HydroQual, Inc. NYCDEP Use & Standards Attainment (USA) Project The New York City Department of Environmental Protection is conducting a Use and Standards Attainment Project as part of its continuing efforts to maintain and improve water quality in New York Harbor. A waterbody/watershed assessment of Gowanus Canal is being conducted to perform an integrated evaluation of the interdependent factors affecting current and potential waterbody uses. Physical, chemical and biological assessments have been performed during the evaluation and engineering planning has identified actions to be taken to improve water quality conditions to a level that can be reasonably attained. The assessment and findings will be described. 1:45 - 2:05 Use of Historical Maps for Ecosystem Restoration in the NYC Metropolitan Region Al McCullough, Biologist, Environmental Concern Chastity Miller, Program Manager, BVA, Inc. Session IV: Fostering Planning, Design and Citizen Involvement 2:05 Moderator: Alicia Moore, Parks and Open Space Specialist, Office of the Brooklyn Borough President 2:10 - 2:30 Regional Waterfront Initiatives: What Can We Learn and How Do the Lessons Apply to the Gowanus Canal? Mark Caserta, NYC Policy & Advocacy Director/Waterfront Park Coalition Director, NYLCV/NYLCV Education Fund In seeking to restore the Gowanus Canal, it is important that we take a step back and look at the waterfront revitalization efforts underway throughout the New York metropolitan region. New York City and New Jersey’s Hudson River shore have experienced a revolution in waterfront development over the past 10 years. What models did local communities and government entities use to develop and fund these projects? Have these models been successful and can they be applied to the Gowanus Canal? 2:30 - 2:50 Water and the City: Design Strategies Franco Montalto, Ph.D. Civil/Environmental Engineer, eDesign Dynamics, LLC This talk will discuss the potential for lot level stormwater management as a means of controlling combined sewer discharge in urban areas in general, and in the Gowanus Canal in particular. The discussion will include a brief background on the combined stormwater problem in New York City, along with a description of several lot level stormwater management techniques that show potential for the Gowanus Canal Watershed. 2:50 – 3:10 BREAK, Coffee/Tea Session V: Planning for the Future 3:15 Moderator: Martin P.

Zarnoch, Doctoral Candidate, AREAC, Brooklyn College, CUNY My presentation will review the history of oysters in New York City waters and will discuss current research efforts to determine the potential for oyster restoration in Jamaica Bay. The application of this model research program to the Gowanus Canal will be discussed. 3:35 - 3:55 Faunal Studies as a Guide Towards Restoration of the Bronx River Joseph W. Rachlin, FLS, Director, Laboratory for Marine and Estuarine Research (La MER), Lehman College, CUNY As a result of the coordinated efforts of several local NGOs under the coordination of the Bronx River Alliance, funding became available to advance the agenda of restoration of the Bronx River, its shoreline and watercourse within the Borough of the Bronx. As part of this endeavor, Lehman College's La MER has been studying the fauna of the river, both freshwater sections and its estuarine portion since 2000. The results of this study, coupled
