Gateway State of the Park 2011 Foreword National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Gateway National Recreation Area New York and New Jersey Gateway State of the Park 2011 Foreword What an exciting year to be the superintendent of America's first urban national park! Interior Secretary Ken Salazar challenged the National Parks of New York Harbor, which includes Gateway National Recreation Area, to meet his vision of a great urban park in the New York City area. That means engaging new audiences, even communities that have always been our neighbors. When I think of national parks, I think of camping. Yes, you can set up your tent in Brooklyn and see the stars. Since the Fourth of July weekend, our campground at Floyd Bennett Field has expanded from three campsites to 41 — and there will be more! Urban camping offers visitors a full national park experience without leaving New York City. Pitch a tent or park an RV and hike, bike, kayak, fish or see our collection of historic aircraft. Of course, campers can also hop on a bus to the beach at Jacob Riis Park or catch a Broadway show in Manhattan. When rehabilitation of the former airport terminal building is compete and the art deco Ryan Visitor Center is reopened to the public, campers will be able to explore the Golden Age of Aviation. By working with other agencies and organizations, Gateway can and will improve visitor experiences despite these tough economic times. For decades, city parks and areas of Gateway have shared borders, but little else. Why not work together to serve visitors and preserve our shared natural resources? This fall, Secretary Salazar signed an agreement with New York City so that the National Park Service can collaborate more fully and frequently with NYC on shared resources and services. Friends organizations, such as the National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy and Sandy Hook Foundation help Gateway in many ways, from creating pilot education programs, helping us connect to diverse communities, educating people about the importance of Jamaica Bay and helping us keep swimmers safe with new lifesaving equipment. Public-private partnerships are also key to preserving endangered historic structures such as Sandy Hook's Fort Hancock. Now it's your turn to challenge Gateway. In 2012, the park will resume public meetings concerning the revision of our General Management Plan. What should be the core mission of this great urban Above: Gateway park? How can our resources best meet the needs of your community? Please attend these meetings Superintendent and share with us your vision of Gateway's next 20 years. This was indeed an exciting year, but the Linda Canzanelli. NPS PHOTO. next several years will be even better.

The reaction of the public and international media has been Connecting People overwhelmingly positive. Stories about the campground have to Parks appeared on German radio and in Irish, British and Italian newspapers. In the future, Gateway hopes to make camping available at other areas of the park as well, including Staten Island and Sandy Hook.

National Park Service 2 Great Kills Park cleanup continues Gateway continues to follow federal law in the slow but thorough cleanup of radiological waste found at Great Kills Park. Since 2009, more than 200 acres of the park have been closed due to contamination issues. This year, working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Park Service hired Cabrera Services to help fulfill requirements in the CERCLA (Superfund) law. Cabrera is formulating a Community Involvement Plan and designing an extensive survey of the entire closed area by early 2012. Radioactive contamination will be removed and sampling conducted to fully identify possible risks. Once completed, the NPS will review cleanup options for correcting the problem.

The hazard profile has been significantly enhanced to include a detailed hazard description, location, extent, previous occurrences, probability of future occurrence, severity, warning time and secondary impacts. A summary of the 25 years of research on the New Jersey coastline is presented. Previous occurrences were updated with a section dedicated to Superstorm Sandy’s effect on the shoreline. The Richard Stockton Coastal Research Center’s coastal erosion susceptible area was used in the vulnerability assessment for Ocean County. Potential change in climate and its impacts on the flood hazard are discussed. The vulnerability assessment now directly follows the hazard profile. Estimated coastal erosion hazard areas were generated for the risk assessment. The exposure and vulnerability of the population, general building stock, State-owned and leased buildings, critical facilities and infrastructure are discussed. Environmental impacts is a new subsection. For the 2014 Plan update the coastal erosion profile and vulnerability assessment were significantly enhanced to include updated information on the hazard and best-available data. Sea level rise is a new addition to this section. A summary of the 25 years of research on the New Jersey coastline conducted by the Richard Stockton College Coastal Research Center was incorporated.
