SIGN THE PETITION before June 16, 2017 to: EPA Region 2 Superfund Director, Walter Mugdan, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and Vincent Sapienza, Acting Commissioner Department of Environmental Protection, NYC

We, the undersigned, ask that all agencies involved in the Superfund remediation efforts impacting Thomas Greene Park to guarantee continuity of the Park's amenities and services and use the remediation opportunity to increase park space in this already critically underserved area. We urge EPA to include clear requirements for a temporary park and park reconstruction, as well as community participation in those processes, in future orders and agreements with National Grid and all other responsible polluters. We ask DEP to include acquisition and construction costs for a temporary park and park reconstruction, for its concurrent scope to site the sewage holding tank and head house within Thomas Greene Park. We ask that the agencies analyze the Superfund remediation impacts in the context of relevant federal, state, and city orders, policies and legislation, which consider environmental justice and strive to raise and not diminish the quality of life for residents in the area and hold the responsible polluters accountable to provide for and grow Thomas Greene Park during the Gowanus Canal Superfund clean-up in Brooklyn, NY.
