Newtown Creek EPA Report ...A note on Newtown Creek<br /><br />Newtown Creek EPA Report released September 12, 2007<br /><br /><br />The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is overseeing cleanup and remediation of the Newtown Creek/Greenpoint oil spill in Brooklyn, N.Y. EPA conducted, at the request of Congress, a study of the public health and safety issues related to the oil spill. Government officials detected the Newtown Creek/Greenpoint oil spill in 1978 and estimated that the some 17 million gallons of petroleum covered more than 50 acres of underground area. Free product exists in large amounts on the water table between Monitor Street and Kingsland Avenue, and extends southeast near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Residual petroleum contamination exists in local groundwater, native soil and fill materials. About half of the spilled oil has been recovered by several oil companies. <br /><br /> Newtown Creek Oil Spill: A review of Remedial Progress (1979 - 20007) - September <br /><br />17 million gallons is like a super tanker???<br /><br />Dennis Gmoonstrucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-13274979782619183922010-03-03T16:13:44.520-05:002010-03-03T16:13:44.520-05:00OK sometimes I don't miss NY that much )
