East & Creek, the Greenpoint newsletter | No. 36 What’s up in Greenpoint? EPA shares latest on Newtown Creek Superfund plans: At a community meeting on Wednesday, feds overseeing the eventual clean-up of Greenpoint’s notorious stretch of water updated residents on the slow-moving project. Work has begun along the northern edge of the east branch, near the Grand St Bridge in East Williamsburg, to begin testing possible methods for future remediation work, according to the EPA’s Stephanie Vaughn. The project’s “potentially responsible parties” are planning to begin sampling this fall and implementing their “treatability study” in the spring. “We will learn a lot from that, hopefully,” Vaughn said. (The EPA does not expect to properly begin remediation work until at least 2024.)
