  • Staten Island
    Staten Island Waterfront History By Carlotta DeFillo taten Island has 35 miles of waterfront. It is bordered by Newark Bay and the Kill van Kull on the north, Upper New York Bay, the Narrows, S Lower New York Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Raritan Bay on the south and the Arthur Kill or Staten Island Sound on the west. Several smaller islands sit offshore. Shooters Island near Mariners Harbor was home to Standard Shipbuilding Corp. and Prall’s Island is a bird sanctuary. Off South Beach lie the man-made Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. These two islands were built for use as the quarantine station in 1872, and abandoned in 1933. During World War II they were used for military training, only to be aban- doned again at war’s end. The earliest inhabitants of Staten Island were Algonkian-speaking Native Americans who set up camps along the shores in the areas of Tottenville, Prince’s Bay, Great Kills, Arrochar, Stapleton, West New Brighton, Mariners Harbor and Fresh Kills. They harvested berries, fi sh, oysters and clams, and even ran the Island’s earliest ferries. The fi rst Europeans set foot on Staten Island in Tompkinsville at the Watering Place, a spring of fresh water near the shore, before 1623. The earliest public ferry was in operation in Stapleton by 1708, and by the 1770s ten ferry lines connected Staten Island to New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The best-known Island ferryman was Cornelius Vanderbilt, who started an empire from his single sailboat ferry, starting in 1810.

  • About Fresh Kills
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION : 2001 ABOUT FRESH KILLS Fresh Kills Landfill is located on the western shore of Staten Island. Approximately half the 2,200-acre landfill is composed of four mounds, or sections, identified as 1/9, 2/8, 3/4 and 6/7 which range in height from 90 feet to approximately 225 feet. These mounds are the result of more than 50 years of landfilling, primarily household waste. Two of the four mounds are fully capped and closed; the other two are being prepared for final capping and closure. Fresh Kills is a highly engineered site, with numerous systems put in place to protect public health and environmental safety. However, roughly half the site has never been filled with garbage or was filled more than twenty years ago. These flatter areas and open waterways host everything from landfill infrastructure and roadways to intact wetlands and wildlife habitats. The potential exists for these areas, and eventually, the mounds themselves, to support broader and more active uses. With effective preparation now, the city can, over time, transform this controversial site into an important asset for Staten Island, the city and the region. Before dumping began, Fresh Kills Landfill was much like the rest of northwest Staten Island. That is, most of the landfill was a salt or intertidal marsh. The topography was low-lying, with a subsoil of clay and soils of sand and silt. The remainder of the area was originally farmland, either actively farmed, or abandoned and in stages of succession. Although Fresh Kills Landfill is not a wholly natural environment, the site has developed its own unique ecology.

Support for the Harbor Herons Nesting Surveys comes from New York City Audubon major donor contributions, including the generosity of Elizabeth Woods and Charles Denholm, and from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. This report should be cited as follows: Winston, T. 2018. New York City Audubon’s Harbor Herons Project: 2018 Nesting Survey Report. New York City Audubon, New York, NY. 2 Abstract New York City Audubon’s Harbor Herons Project Nesting Survey of the New York/New Jersey Harbor and surrounding waterways was conducted between 15 May and 26 June 2018. This report principally summarizes long-legged wading bird, cormorant, and gull nesting activity observed on selected harbor islands, and also includes surveys of selected mainland sites and aids to navigation. Seven species of long-legged wading birds were observed nesting on eight of fifteen islands surveyed, on Governors Island, and at several mainland sites, while one additional species was confirmed as nesting exclusively at a mainland site. Surveyed wading bird species, hereafter collectively referred to as waders, included (in order of decreasing abundance) Black-crowned Night-Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Glossy Ibis, Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, and Great Blue Heron.

Blanchard III and Paul Kerlinger, published by The Trust for Public Land and the NYC Audubon Society.) Size, ecological importance, restoration potential, contiguity with existing parkland, and a high degree of development threat are all characteristics that place Arlington Marsh at the highest level of priority for conservation. Arlington Marsh is the largest remaining, intact salt marsh on the Kill van Kull in Staten Island. Despite development at its southern boundary, a DOT facility on the landward end of its eastern peninsula, and a marina on its eastern flank, Arlington Marsh provides more habitat, and in greater variety, for flora and fauna than it might initially appear. Arlington Marsh’s importance within the fabric of remaining open space in northwestern and western Staten Island continues to be recognized. In Significant Habitats and Habitat Complexes of the New York Bright Watershed (1998), the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service identified Arlington Marsh as “one of the main foraging areas for birds of the Harbor Herons complex.” In September 1999, the site was recommended as a high priority of acquisition by the NY/NJ HEP Acquisition and Restoration Sub workgroup.

  • Cstag Recommendations for Ou3 for the Diamond Alkali
    April 22, 2020 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Contaminated Sediments Technical Advisory Group Recommendations for Diamond Alkali Superfund Site’s Operable Unit 3, Newark Bay Study Area FROM: Karl Gustavson, Chair Contaminated Sediments Technical Advisory Group, Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation TO: Eugenia Naranjo, Remedial Project Manager Superfund and Emergency Management Division, EPA Region 2 BACKGROUND The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Principles for Managing Contaminated Sediment Risks at Hazardous Waste Sites Directive (OSWER 9285.6-08, February 2002, “Principles Memo”) established the Contaminated Sediments Technical Advisory Group (CSTAG) to "monitor the progress of and provide advice regarding a small number of large, complex, or controversial contaminated sediment Superfund sites," which are known as “Tier 2” sites. CSTAG members are EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) site managers, scientists, and engineers with Superfund sediment site characterization, remediation and decision-making expertise. One purpose of CSTAG is to guide site project managers to help ensure their sites are appropriately managed throughout the Superfund process in accordance with the 2002 Principles Memo, the Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for Hazardous Waste Sites (EPA-540-R-05-012, December 2005; “2005 Guidance”) and the Remediating Contaminated Sediments Directive (OLEM Directive 9200.1-130, January 2017; “2017 Directive”). The Diamond Alkali Superfund site in Newark, New Jersey, is a Tier 2 CSTAG site, and the site’s contaminated sediment actions are subject to CSTAG review per EPA’s policies and procedures. The Newark Bay Study Area (NBSA) is Operable Unit (OU) 3 of the site and is the subject of this review.
