Queens West (Hunter’S Point) Parcel 11 Draft Upland Site Summary Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Parcel 11 Draft Upland Site Summary QUEENS WEST (HUNTER’S POINT) PARCEL 11 (DAR SITE ID #138) Address: 2-01 50th Avenue, Long Island City, Queens (2-14 49th Avenue) Tax Lot Parcel(s): Queens Block 17, Lots 21 and 28 Latitude: 40.7349 Longitude: -73.9588 Regulatory Programs/ Numbers/Codes: NYSDEC VCP Site Code V00194B Analytical Data Status: Electronic Data Available Hardcopies only No Data Available 1 SUMMARY OF CONSTITUENTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (COPCs) TRANSPORT PATHWAYS TO THE CREEK The current understanding of the transport mechanisms of COPCs from the upland portions of the Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Parcel 11 site (site) to Newtown Creek is summarized in this section and Table 1, and supported in the following sections. Overland Transport This site is 0.27 mile from Newtown Creek and associated waterways. This is not a complete current or historical pathway. Bank Erosion This site is not adjacent to Newtown Creek and associated waterways. This is not a complete current or historical pathway. Groundwater This site is 0.27 mile from Newtown Creek and associated waterways. Previous studies in the Queens West area indicate that groundwater beneath the site is expected to flow toward the East River (AKRF 2008). There is insufficient evidence to make a current or historical pathway determination. Draft Upland Site Summary Report May 2012 Newtown Creek RI/FS 1 120782-01.01 Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Parcel 11 Overwater Activities The site is not adjacent to Newtown Creek and associated waterways. Information regarding overwater activities was not identified in documents available for review. This is not a complete current or historical pathway. Stormwater/Wastewater Systems This site is within the Bowery Bay Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) sewershed (NYCDEP 2007). Based on the site topography and improved infrastructure, stormwater at the site is expected to drain directly to the East River or flow into a combined sewer system. Wastewater discharges from the site flow into a combined sewer system. When the combined flows exceed the system’s capacity, untreated combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are discharged to the East River. Direct discharge of stormwater and wastewater and discharge to the sewer/ CSO are not complete current or historical pathways. Air Releases Information regarding air discharges from the site was not identified in documents available for review. There is insufficient information to make a current or historical pathway determination. 2 PROJECT STATUS The entire Queens West Development property was investigated from 1985 to 1986 and 1989, with an additional investigation in 1994 to assess subsurface conditions (AKRF 1990; AKRF 2003). In August 1998, a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement was entered into between New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and Queens West Development Corporation (QWDC). Pre-construction soil sampling was conducted in 2000 (AKRF 2000), and remediation between December 2000 and May 2006 in accordance with the NYSDEC-approved Remedial Work Plan (RWP) for Queens West Development Parcel 11 (AKRF Engineering 1998). The site remediation was documented in a Final Engineering Report (FER) dated March 2008, and on-going site management requirements were specified in a Site Management Plan (SMP). NYSDEC issued an approval letter for the FER on March 31, 2008 (ATC 2010). A summary of investigation and remedial activities at the site is provided in the following table.

The site slopes gently down from approximately 5 feet above mean sea level on the eastern property boundary to the East River on the western property boundary. The property is located approximately 0.27 mile northwest of Newtown Creek. The site is covered by two residential buildings. The site is bounded by 49th Avenue to the north, 50th Avenue to the south, residential/commercial properties to the east, and Center Boulevard to the west. The area is zoned M3-1 (Manufacturing). M3 districts are designated for areas with heavy industries that generate noise, traffic, or pollutants (NYCDCP 2012). Draft Upland Site Summary Report May2012 Newtown Creek RI/FS 4 120782-01.01 Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Parcel 11 Parcel 10, located north of the site across 49th Avenue, is occupied by a high-rise residential building, which also includes a public elementary school, P.S. 78, at its western end. The area between Parcel 11 and the East River is part of the Queens West waterfront park. A tennis club is located southwest of the site, and the former Schwartz Chemical building site, currently being redeveloped with condominiums, is located to the southeast. The buildings immediately east of the site are not part of the Queens West Development. These buildings are occupied by a mix of light industrial, commercial, and residential uses (AKRF 2008). A 2010 aerial photograph of the site is presented as Figure 1 and a map displaying composite site cover and development is shown in Attachment 1. 5 CURRENT SITE USE The site is currently occupied by a high-rise residential building, the Avalon Riverview, on the southern portion of the site at 2-01 50th Avenue, and a second residential building, containing federally-subsidized housing for the elderly, the Riverview Gardens, on the northern portion of the site at 2-14 49th Avenue. Ground level retail is present on the western portion of the first floor of the Avalon Riverview. The Avalon Riverview was first occupied in March 2002 (AKRF 2008; Queenswest.com 2011). 6 SITE USE HISTORY The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) had track along 49th Avenue (formerly 5th Street), which culminated in the LIRR Freight Yard where freight was unloaded from barges on the East River. Block 17, located between 49th Avenue and 50th Avenue, was part of the freight yard. The LIRR originally kept their Express stables at the end of the block, on the rail yard, formerly 4th and 5th Streets (Sanborn Map Company 1898; Queenswest.org 2011). A variety of industrial manufacturers were located at the site, but only a small amount of information exits for two. The Crown Oil Chemical Company stored soybean, linseed, and fish oils onsite beginning in 1959. Crown produced phthalic hydride and maleic phydride. A 4-inch pipe drained to the storm sewer, which then drained to the East River (Hazen and Sawyer 1959). In 1969, the Expanded Metal Engineering Company created metal pieces for Draft Upland Site Summary Report May2012 Newtown Creek RI/FS 5 120782-01.01 Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Parcel 11 machine guards, window guards, display purposes, metal lath, building accessories, and access doors (Chamber of Commerce 1969). As of 1996, the site became a part of a larger development by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the state of New York called the Queens West Development Corporation (QWDC), a subsidiary of the Empire State Development Corporation. The project extended from the Anable Basin to 50th Avenue and west of 5th Street. The QWDC planned a public park, residential housing, and retail space and improved sewer and public utilities as well as public schools and a public library (Queenswest.org 2011). 7 CURRENT AND HISTORICAL AREAS OF

  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • Health Department to Conduct Mosquito Adulticiding in Parts of the Bronx and Queens to Reduce Risk of West Nile Virus
    NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE Dave A. Chokshi, MD MSc Commissioner FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, August 12, 2021 HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO CONDUCT MOSQUITO ADULTICIDING IN PARTS OF THE BRONX AND QUEENS TO REDUCE RISK OF WEST NILE VIRUS Trucks will spray pesticide in parts of Queens and the Bronx in the evening of Tuesday, August 17 August 12, 2021 – To reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus, the Health Department will conduct an adulticide treatment in Queens and the Bronx. Trucks will spray pesticides in sections of Queens and the Bronx on Tuesday, August 17 between the hours of 8:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather or equipment malfunctions, application will be delayed until Wednesday, August 18. The Health Department will use very low concentrations of Anvil®, Duet®, or DeltaGard®. The risks of pesticides applied by the Health Department for mosquito control are low to people and pets. Some people who are sensitive to spray ingredients may experience short-term eye or throat irritation, or a rash. People with respiratory conditions may also be affected. To stay safe during spraying: • Stay indoors, whenever possible. • Air conditioners can remain on. While unnecessary, you may wish to close air conditioner vents, or choose the recirculate function. After spraying: • Wash skin and clothing exposed to pesticides with soap and water. • Always wash fruits and vegetables with water. The most effective way to control mosquitoes is to eliminate any standing water. New Yorkers are also encouraged to mosquito-proof their homes and take precautions when spending time outdoors.

    II. WATER POLLUTION GENERAL During 2001, in the Interstate Environmental District, approximately $8.408 billion was allocated for 277 water pollution control projects which were either completed, in progress, or planned for the future. These monies were allocated in the following manner: over $125.1 million for 55 completed projects, more than $5.3628 billion for 134 projects in progress, and more than $2.92 billion for 88 future projects. These expenditures are being used for engineering studies, pilot projects and experiments; CSO abatement projects; land-based alternatives for sewage sludge disposal; construction of new facilities; and upgrading and/or expanding existing facilities in order to provide adequately treated wastewater for discharge into District waterways. These figures do not include the monies spent by and committed to pollution control by industries. The Commission has long advocated adequate infrastructure as a necessity for maintaining and improving receiving water quality, as well as for minimizing use impairments. These tremendous expenditures on the infrastructure have resulted in significant water quality improvements throughout the District these past years; however, much remains to be done. With secondary treatment virtually in place since 1994 throughout the Interstate Environmental District, control of the region’s combined sewer overflows is necessary in order to achieve further significant water quality improvements. Communities throughout the District have ongoing CSO control programs and projects that range from sewer separation to swirl concentrators to booming and skimming to in-line and off-line storage. The National Estuary Programs in the District have identified major problems affecting water quality which are exacerbated by anthropogenic impacts, namely, nutrient enrichment, sediment contamination, pathogens, habitat loss and floatables.

  • Consent Judgment
    filed with the DEC. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”), is a municipal agency operating and having responsibility for the City of New York’s 14 municipal sewage treatment plants, known as Water Pollution Control Plants (“WPCPs”) (which process the sewage generated within the City of New York), as well as the City’s combined and separate sanitary sewage collection facilities. The City of New York (DEP and the City of New York will be collectively referred to herein as the “City”) owns the fourteen WPCPs and DEP is the named permittee. Any violation of a SPDES permit condition or order entered under Article 17, constitutes a violation of ECL §§17-0803, 17-0807, 17-0815 and 6 NYCRR §§ 750-1.3(d) & 750-2.1(e). Section17-0501 of Article 17 of the ECL provides authority for the State to take enforcement against violations of any water quality standards (“WQS”) adopted by DEC. ECL § 71-1929 provides that a discharger who violates any obligation imposed by Titles 1-11 of Article 17, or the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, or the terms of any permit or order issued thereunder, shall be liable to pay a penalty not to exceed $37,500 per day for each violation. CWA § 303(d)(1)(c), 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d)(1)(c), requires the states to promulgate, and EPA to approve, Total Maximum Daily Loads (“TMDLs”) for water bodies for which the effluent limits promulgated pursuant to CWA § 301(b)(1)(A) and (B), 33 U.S.C.
