SUMMARY:Let’s Restore the Gowanus Canal Together: Understanding the Natural Resource Damages Assessment Plan\, Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Commonly referred to as NRDA\, the Natural Resource Damages Assessment is an important piece of the Gowanus Canal Superfund project that will help restore fish\, wildlife\, habitat and human uses of the canal that were lost to both industrial pollution and the more recent remediation work. \nThe group of federal agency representatives that will oversee this process recently released a draft of the plan (PDF) for how they will determine what impacts have occurred\, the economic value of those loses (a.k.a. damages)\, and what restoration or enhancement projects will receive funding from the pool of money collected as a result. Now\, they want to hear feedback from the community on this proposed plan through a public comment process. \nThe public comment period has been extended and is now due June 14. It’s just the first of many steps along the way to a canal that has more wildlife\, more habitat and more boating and fishing access (we hope). You can help! \nThese sessions\, hosted by local journalists Lillian Ruiz and Celeste LeCompte\, are meant to help Dredgers (and other Gowanus neighbors who want to join) better understand the NRDA process\, dig into the current draft plan\, and equip ourselves to provide effective input on the process. At this session\, we’ll be helping YOU craft comments to submit. \nNo experience or prior knowledge is needed\, and all levels of familiarity with the Canal and the cleanup are welcome. \nThis is part two\, you can review part one here. \n\nDownload the Gowanus Canal draft assessment plan\nRead more about the NRDA process\n\n

SUMMARY:Understanding the NRDA Process - Part Two
DESCRIPTION:As part of the ongoing Superfund cleanup of the Gowanus Canal\, the federal government is required to study the impact of both the historic pollution and its cleanup on natural resources (fish\, wildlife\, air\, water\, etc.) and their uses (everything from habitat to breathing to boating) — and to identify funding and projects that will restore or replace those services. \nIt’s a complicated process — known as the Natural Resources Damages Assessment (and Restoration) — that involves multiple federal agencies\, the companies and state agencies held responsible for the pollution and its cleanup\, and people like us — the community! There’s a lot of jargon\, some very confusing grey areas\, and a lot of formal processes\, too. \nThe federal agencies responsible for the Gowanus Canal NRDA have released their draft plan for how they’ll start their research\, and you can make comments on that plan before June 14. Join us for a hopefully fun evening of learning together what it is\, how it works\, and how you can make an impact on restoration plans for the canal. This is part two\, you can review part one here. \n\nDownload the Gowanus Canal draft assessment plan\nRead more about the NRDA+R process\n\n
