Site History/Background Refresher

• Late 1920s–late 1930s: Columbia lead facility

– Lead dust, fumes and waste released into air

& soil

• Lead stays in soil; exposure can occur from:

• Touching lead-contaminated soil, then accidently

ingesting it

• Kids putting dirty hands & objects in their mouths

• Children – especially under age 6 – are most

sensitive to the health effects; NYC Health

can answer questions

1931

1938

Typical secondary smelter.

2014: New York State DEC referred this site to EPA with

almost 40 others

Page 22: Red Hook Recreation Area Community Update …...D. Phase 3 –Ball Fields 1-4, Soccer Field 3 & Track 4. Question & Answer AGENDA Red Hook Recreation Area Community Update Meeting,

Is Barging Feasible?

Red Hook Recreation Area Community Update Meeting, October 2018

Construction Public Safety Measures

• There are no publicly owned or appropriately licensed waste transfer piers near site• Henry Street Basin:

• Land beneath basin is privately owned• Water depth is shallow• City-owned bulkhead is in disrepair

• Double handling: load first by truck, transport on local streets, and then unload at a pier• Additional transport insurance required; limited number of barge companies licensed to

transport contaminated material

Parks’ approach, which was approved by EPA, is to minimize the amount of materials to be taken off site to the greatest extent possible.
