SUMMARY:Newtown Creek Long Term Control Plan Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Sign up here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIucuqprTgrHdUIGWq7VQKBzPbUvHi_2ac8#/registration \nGet involved in a critical issue: Sewage Overflow into Newtown Creek! 🚽 \nNYC DEP is currently proposing a modification to the ‘Long Term Control Plan’ (LTCP) — a NY-State approved initiative to reduce Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) in Newtown Creek. \nThe current plan will reduce overall CSO volume into Newtown Creek by approximately 61% and be complete in 2040. The proposed modification will capture more sewage and prevent the planned diversion of overflow to the East River\, but it still leaves over 350 million gallons of untreated sewage going to Newtown Creek each year. Additionally\, the modification will result in a 10-year delay toward achieving significant sewage reduction for the Dutch Kills tributary. \nNCA has long advocated for increased CSO capture. We can not wait until 2040\, to only have a ~65% reduction. Newtown Creek\, especially the small and stagnant tributaries\, can not be safe for our local communities\, or wildlife populations\, with 350+ million gallons of annual CSO. This modification is an opportunity to get us closer to actually achieving clean waters\, as well as the City’s own goal of zero CSO citywide by 2060. \nSo what can we do about it? \n1. Learn more about the proposed plan! On Thursday\, @riverkeeper and NCA will host a virtual meeting where NYC DEP will present about the proposed modification. 🔗 \n2. Speak for the Creek! Join us in asking NY State DEC (who approves the plan)\, and NYC DEP (who implements the plan) to capture as much sewage overflow as possible via Riverkeeper’s Action Alert. Comments are due Friday\, December 13.

SUMMARY:Bike Tour: Six Miles of "Last Mile"
DESCRIPTION:Join NCA for a 6-mile bike journey exploring mega-warehouses\, truck routes\, and the infrastructure of logistics around Newtown Creek! \n*** \nIn the context of Newtown Creek’s 200+ year history of logistics infrastructure\, from horse-carts and rails to barges and trucks\, this bike tour will focus on the expanding infrastructure of commodity circulation\, and the real-world footprint of e-commerce. \nThe rise of e-commerce has seen a rapid increase in last-mile developments in the industrial business zones\, like those surrounding Newtown Creek. These mega facilities bring significant amounts of increased truck traffic to overburdened communities leading to higher levels of congestion\, worsened air quality\, urban heat island impacts\, stormwater runoff\, as well as ongoing issues with worker protections\, fair wagers\, and labor rights. NYC is now working to implement a special permit process to curtail the proliferation of last mile facilities\, thanks in large part to the advocacy from elected leaders and the Last Mile Coalition (of which NCA is a member). \nWe encourage those joining to be fairly comfortable bicyclists – this route has adverse street conditions and frequent truck traffic. We ask that attendees fill out a liability waiver and photo consent form prior to joining\, found here. Please bring a water bottle\, snacks\, and weather-appropriate clothing. We will have limited staff in attendance to navigate and provide support. \nStart Location: Cooper Park\, Maspeth Ave\, Brooklyn\, NY 11211 \nEnd Location: Borden Avenue Street End\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 \nAlong the way we will see\, firsthand\, the scale and significance of numerous last mile facilities (many of which have been constructed within the past decade).

SUMMARY:Off the Rails: Bushwick Branch Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:A clean up event along the Bushwick Branch rail line \n*** \nJoin NCA\, NY & Atlantic Railway\, and Sims Metal for a volunteer cleanup along the rail lines near Newtown Creek. This series seeks to engage community members with environmental stewardship in often neglected industrial spaces\, while offering a glimpse into local train history and infrastructure through these unique sites. \nOn Sunday\, June 9th\, Newtown Creek Alliance (NCA) is hosting our second Off the Rails Series volunteer cleanup in East Williamsburg\, Brooklyn. This event will take place along the Bushwick Branch rail line by Morgan Avenue\, an active rail line used primarily for garbage collection and transfer from nearby facilities. Historically\, this line carried commuters between 1868 and 1924\, after which all passenger service was discontinued. Nearby stations included Bushwick Avenue Station by Montrose Avenue and Bushwick Place\, and South Side Railroad Crossing near Varick Avenue. \nThe nearby rail bridge is officially titled the Montrose Avenue Rail Bridge\, though it is sometimes called the English Kills Drawbridge (presently fixed in place). The steel bobtail swing bridge was designed as a temporary bridge in 1888 and rehabilitated between 1907 and 1927; it likely hasn’t been opened since the mid 1950’s. \nThis event will include: \n\nAn expansive trash pickup along the tracks of this active rail line (with no train activity during the cleanup). NY & Atlantic Railway will be providing support with their railroad crane car!\n\n​​We will provide gloves\, tools\, safety vests\, water\, and guidance on how to safely complete our tasks for the day. Before the event\, registrants are required to complete a liability waiver and photo consent form (Adult form here and Minor form here). \nMeetup Location: We will be meeting at the railroad crossing just north of Morgan Ave and Johnson Ave. \nPlan ahead for the event: Please wear weather-appropriate clothes\, sturdy close-toed shoes\, and bring your own water bottle and sunscreen if needed. There are no bathrooms on site. If you are unable to attend\, we ask you to please release your spot at least one day in advance. \n————— \nFor other volunteer opportunities with NCA\, visit our events page here: http://www.newtowncreekalliance.org/events/

SUMMARY:Tidal Toast 2023
DESCRIPTION:NCA’s 6th Annual Tidal Toast: October 18\, 2023 \nWe are thrilled to be celebrating our wonderful partnership with LaGuardia Community College at this year’s Tidal Toast. For years the professors\, students\, and faculty of LaGuardia have been key advocates in fighting for a cleaner\, more accessible\, and more resilient Newtown Creek. Located just a block from the Dutch Kills tributary\, the school has partnered with NCA\, and a number of other local organizations\, to pilot a variety of education\, restoration\, and planning projects to improve the waterway. The college truly embodies NCA’s mission to Reveal\, Restore\, and Revitalize Newtown Creek which is why we are honoring them with all three awards this year. \nThis year we are very excited to be hosting our Tidal Toast on the Creek itself. The event will take place aboard a chartered boat (departing and returning to Greenpoint)! Click here to purchase tickets\, make a small donation to support the event\, or join as a sponsor.
