  • New York City Area: Health Advice on Eating the Fish You Catch
    MAPS NEW YORK INSIDE CITY AREA Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch 1 Why We Have Advisories Fishing is fun and fish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish contain high quality protein, essential nutrients, healthy fish oils and are low in saturated fat. However, some fish contain chemicals at levels that may be harmful to health. To help people make healthier choices about which fish they eat, the New York State Department of Health issues advice about eating sportfish (fish you catch). The health advice about which fish to eat depends on: Where You Fish Fish from waters that are close to human activities and contamination sources are more likely to be contaminated than fish from remote marine waters. In the New York City area, fish from the Long Island Sound or the ocean are less contaminated. Who You Are Women of childbearing age (under 50) and children under 15 are advised to limit the kinds of fish they eat and how often they eat them. Women who eat highly contaminated fish and become pregnant may have an increased risk of having children who are slower to develop and learn. Chemicals may have a greater effect on the development of young children or unborn babies. Also, some chemicals may be passed on in mother’s milk. Women beyond their childbearing years and men may face fewer health risks from some chemicals. For that reason, the advice for women over age 50 and men over age 15 allows them to eat more kinds of sportfish and more often (see tables, pages 4 and 6).

  • Hydrogeology of Staten Island, New York
    Hydrogeology of Staten Island, New York A Final Report Presented by Stephanie Rosenberg to The Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geosciences with concentration in Hydrogeology Stony Brook University 2013 Abstract Staten Island, NY, is a borough of New York City for which there is limited hydrogeologic data available. Like the other four New York City boroughs, it is connected to the New York City public water supply from upstate New York. It is the most sparsely populated borough of New York City, and there have been no public supply wells pumping water out of Staten Island since the mid-20th century. Previous studies of the hydrogeology were the results of increased interest due to droughts during the 20th century. Borehole data from previous studies was used for this study in addition to data from wells drilled by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2004-06. Geophysical gamma log data was recorded at the more recent well drillings. Forty-eight borehole logs and gamma logs were analyzed to draw 8 hydrogeological cross sections on Staten Island. The bedrock beneath Staten Island consists mainly of 4 units: (1) the Staten Island Serpentinite, (2) Manhattan Schist, (3) Newark Super Group, and (4) Palisades Diabase. The Staten Island Serpentinite is a greenish-brown ultramafic crystalline rock found in the north and northeast parts of the Island – where the bedrock is at the highest elevation. The Manhattan Schist is a gray crystalline highly metamorphosed rock complex that consists mainly of gneissic rock in the southern part of Staten Island.

  • Environmental Assessment Statement
    CITY ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STATEMENT THE REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SIPHONS BETWEEN BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND ATTACHMENT PART I, GENERAL INFORMATION 3b. DESCRIBE THE ACTION(S) AND APPROVAL(S) BEING SOUGHT FROM OR UNDERTAKEN BY CITY (AND IF APPLICABLE, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES) AND, BRIEFLY, DESCRIBE THE DEVELOPMENT OR PROJECT THAT WOULD RESULT FROM THE PROPOSED ACTION(S) AND APPROVAL(S) The proposed action would involve the construction of a new potable water transmission main (siphon) beneath the Upper New York Bay between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island. The new siphon would replace two existing subaqueous water siphons (Siphon Nos. 1 and 2) located beneath Upper New York Bay. As part of the New York and New Jersey Harbor Deepening Project, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) will dredge the Anchorage Channel to a depth of 54 feet below mean low water (MLW). This dredging would expose and/or potentially impact the two existing siphons as they are not situated at a sufficient depth that would be protective of their continued use. The existing siphons provide the only secondary/backup water supply from Brooklyn to Staten Island. As part of the proposed action, the existing siphons would be decommissioned and abandoned and replaced with a new, single siphon. Development of the new siphon would provide a backup potable water supply system for Staten Island, thereby maintaining the reliability of the overall water supply system. The new siphon will also be utilized to supplement the existing primary water supply service to the borough.

  • 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.
