The EPA will have cleaned this waterway within 8 years from today so the next time the Canal floods, there won't be any contamination concern - just some water damage.
Is the EPA "on schedule" with their Superfund cleanup? What's been spent $$ on this EPA effort so far and is that funding on the chopping block as part of the fiscal cliff?
there is no federal money earmarked for the actual cleanup of Gowanus Canal. EPA will have to sue the responsible parties to make it happen.. the hundreds of millions of dollars in cost for the clean up will come from city raterpayers of National Grid and the NYCDEP
