***MINUTES***
Presentation and discussion with representatives for the Department of
Environmental Protection on the Gowanus Canal Area High Level Storm Sewer Capital project (SEK-20067), a project designed to correct and improve flooding conditions in the 3rd and 4th Avenue corridors between Douglass and State Streets.
Jim Garin, Director of Engineering at the Department of Environmental Protection explained High Level Storm Sewers. Essentially, the plan is to build a new sewer line to capture storm water entering catch basins between 3rd and 4th Avenues on about 15 blocks from State Street to Carroll Street in 2 phases. Phase I – Carroll Street to Baltic Street design in FY2012 construction in FY2013 Phase II – Baltic Street to State Street – design FY2019 construction FY2020
There is one already built in the Bronx in Community Board 10. This appears to have, at least, a small effect of reducing CSO’s and flooding in nearby areas in the event of a 5 year rainfall.
A motion was made by Glenn Kelly and seconded by Hildegaard Link to approve the minutes of the last meeting held on May 30, 2012.
MOTION APPROVED: UNANIMOUSLY
There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was
adjourned.
Minutes submitted by Bette Stoltz.
