  • February 11, 2015 Letter from NCA to DEP And
    February 11, 2015 Angela Licata Deputy Commissioner for Sustainability NYC Department of Environmental Protection Gary E. Kline, P.E. NYC Municipal Compliance Section Chief NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Dear Ms. Licata and Mr. Kline, I am writing in regards to the aeration project within Newtown Creek, especially phase NC­4 that expands the project into the lower stretches of the main channel and the Dutch Kills tributary. Much of our previous conversation has focused on the failure to collect on­site data that demonstrate the safety of inorganic particulates aerosolized by the aeration; an omission of particular concern, given on­site data that demonstrates benthic microbes are aerosolized. We now wish to shift focus to other vital concerns regarding the expansion of the project. For reasons stated below we request a delay of the NC­4 expansion. Dissolved Oxygen Levels in the Main Channel The proposed expansion of the aeration project includes the greater part of the main channel of Newtown Creek (extending 4500 feet eastward from the mouth of Dutch Kills and about one mile north from the Maspeth blower building). While we fully appreciate efforts to raise dissolved oxygen levels above the 3 mg/L standard that is driving the consent order, we would like to point out that the main channel of Newtown Creek regularly meets this standard from May through September (when DO levels are typically lower and the system would be in operation). From last year’s Harbor Survey conducted during this period by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP), we find that a large majority of the samples from three main channel sites proposed for inclusion in the aeration project ­ NC3, NC2 and NC1 measured above the 3 mg/L DO standard; respectively 97%, 84% and 87%.
