    305 West Grand Avenue, Suite 300 Montvale, New Jersey 07645 Phone 201.930.9890 Fax 201.930.9805 www.anchorqea.com MEMORANDUM To: Caroline Kwan and Nica Klaber Date: October 1, 2012 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Region 2 From: David Haury and Matt Cavas Anchor QEA, LLC Project: 120782-01.01 Re: Phase 1 Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum: Reference Area Memorandum No. 2 This memorandum presents the final decision regarding the candidate reference area sampling originally proposed in Section 3 of the Phase 1 Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum (WPA; Anchor QEA 2012a) and the subsequent Phase 1Remedial Investigation Work Plan Addendum: Reference Area Memorandum (Reference Area Memorandum; Anchor QEA 2012b). 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 .

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.

Elias Dueker Environmental and Urban Studies Program, Bard College 1 ABSTRACT The presence of Legionella pneumophila was assessed using a cultivation-based approach in New York City waterways, a freshwater portion of the lower Hudson River Estuary near Kingston NY, and in urban and suburban street water. Legionella pneumophila was detected in 51% of brackish New York City Estuary samples, most with concentrations near minimum detection (1 organism/ mL). In contrast, it was detected in 22% of suburban freshwater Hudson River Estuary samples. Levels of the bacterium were found to be higher during wet weather compared to dry weather in the highly dense urban setting, but not in the less dense suburban/rural settings.

September 2007 Recommendations for the Transfer of City-Owned Properties Containing Wetlands PREFACE The members of the Wetlands Transfer Task Force commend Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the New York City Council, the Council’s Environmental Protection Committee and Committee Chair, Councilman James F. Gennaro for recognizing the importance of protecting the City’s remaining wetlands. Wetlands have a tremendous capacity to prevent flooding, reduce storm surges and improve downstream water quality. They protect and nurture our wildlife heritage – including globally significant birds and fisheries. Wetlands are also a vital and often beautiful element of the City’s rivers and estuaries, places for young and old to recreate, experience nature, and relax.
