EPA FINALLY SPEAKS ON GOWANUS PLAN, NEW TOXINS IN AREA

With Walter Hang, president of Toxics Targeting, to discuss the EPA "has now publicly confirmed" what Voice of Gowanus has maintained all along about the Gowanus Rezoning--the planned mitigation of Public Place (the primary site for affordable housing located on a former gas plant) and clean up is insufficient and "inadequte to protect public health and must be revised."

Hang will also discuss the discovery of a separate toxic health threat involving multiple carginogenic contaminants in the air of a building near the Gowanus Canal--which he believes has never been publicly disclosed. Even though NYS Department of Health guidelines require action in such cases, the reality is the state is not enforcing its own regulations and requirements for a "comprehensive clean up."
