TODAY: Gowanus Canal CSO Public Forum
Combined Sewer Overflow does not sound like an issue that brings neighborhoods together, but everyone in Central Brooklyn has had (or knows someone who has) brown water backing up through their plumbing when it rains.
State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, Brooklyn Community Board 6 and local elected officials are co-sponsoring a Public Forum on Combined Sewage Outfalls (CSO's) flowing into the Gowanus Canal.
Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the City's Department of Environmental Protection will be on hand to report on their efforts to improve the environmental condition of the Gowanus Canal and answer questions from the public.
Also participating will be representatives for Friends and Residents of the Greater Gowanus (FROGG), Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation (GCCDC), UPROSE and Urban Divers.
Thursday, April 27
6:00 pm
YWCA, 30 3rd Avenue (between Atlantic Avenue/State Street), 1st floor
