  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • Gowanus Canal & Newtown Creek Superfund Sites: a Proposal
    Gowanus Canal & Newtown Creek Superfund Sites: A Proposal by Larry Schnapf he federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2010 designated as fed­ eral superfund sites the entire length of T the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn and 3.8 miles of Newtown Creek on the border of Queens and Brooklyn. Property owners near these water bodies fear that EPA's action will lower property values and make it even more difficult to obtain loans and other­ wise develop their land. Many small businesses also fear that they may become responsible for paying a portion of the cleanup costs. The superfund process could take five to ten years to complete, during which time property owners will be faced with significant economic uncertainty. There is, however, a way tore­ lieve many of the smaller property owners by giving them an early release.

The waters surrounding Brooklyn serve as a source of recreation, transportation and, for some, food.

  • New York City Area: Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch
    MAPS INSIDE NEW YORK 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).

  • CSO) Facility
    Gowanus Canal Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Facility ULURP Site Selection and Acquisition 180065 PCK Brooklyn Community Board 6 October 26, 2017 Overview . The Gowanus Canal was designated a Superfund site in 2010. The EPA has identified a number of potential responsible parties, including New York City and National Grid. The EPA has required the City to remediate chemical contaminants at the canal and reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into the canal. Combined Sewer Overflow . NYC’s sewer system is approximately 60% combined, which means it is used to convey both sanitary and storm flows. When the sewer system is at full capacity, a diluted mixture of rain water and sewage can be released into local waterways. This is called a combined sewer overflow (CSO). Dry Weather Stormy Weather Conditions Conditions Down Down Spout Spout Catch Basin Catch Basin Building Sewer Building Sewer Connection Combined Connection Combined Sewer Outfall Sewer Outfall City Sewer Main City Sewer Main Sewer Sewer Regulator Regulator Gowanus Canal Sewershed Areas Ongoing Investment in Reducing CSO Project Description and Location Construct two underground CSO tanks and associated headhouses to intercept and store CSOs during wet weather events. Head End Facility 8 million gallon tank Owls Head Facility 4 million gallon tank ULURP Action • DEP is currently pursuing Site Selection & Acquisition of the Head End Site. • The application was certified into review September 18th, 2017. • A ULURP for demapping Douglass Street between Nevins Street and the Canal will follow. This action is not necessary to construct the facility, but it will clean up the City Map and the record.

  • Gowanus Pathways. a Framework to Support Community Resilience
    Gowanus Pathways. a framework to support community resilience SES 660A | Capstone Adrienne Downey | Fall 2017 RISK MANAGEMENT Summary Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC) is a major voice in the Gowanus Community of Brooklyn, New York City. A primary steward of the neighborhood’s affordable housing assets and inclusivity visions, a respected and willing partner with the business community, and a strong voice for community TRANSFORMATIVE sustainability and resilience. But even with the best visions and coalitions, circumstances are stressing even the most stalwart tools. STEWARD Heading into a major neighborhood rezoning this fall, concurrent with more than $1.3 billion committed for environmental cleanup up the toxic Gowanus canal. Deep speculative pressures from developers and a prevailing municipal attitude that favors public private partnership, are exacerbating residential and industrial displacement concerns. Transforming the hardscape also raises concerns over environmental gentrification even as much-needed remediation, growth, and affordable housing assets are added. Add to the foregoing, the pernicious reality of climate change, and the stakes for transformative change are higher than ever. Deep uncertainty for the ADAPTIVE Community’s future is battling against deep anxiety for sustainable outcomes. In pursuit of the Community’s self-determined visions (Bridging Gowanus, 2014, Survive and Thrive, 2017, and Urban Heat Island Technical Assistance Panel, 2017) this Capstone will present a plan to help FAC negotiate a resilient future for Gowanus using an emerging policy technique: Adaptation Pathways. It will further examine links to potential determinants such as tax-increment financing mechanisms (TIF, Bridging Gowanus) or complementary spinoffs TRANSPARENT such as the EcoDistricts® frameworks (UHI TAP).
