Project Description

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) proposes to upgrade the flushing tunnel system and wastewater pumping station at the Gowanus Facilities located at 201 Douglass Street, south of Butler Street and northwest of the head of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York. Improvements at other associated sites are also required as part of the proposed action. The Gowanus Facilities Upgrade is proposed to improve the capacity, function, efficiency, and reliability of the Gowanus Canal flushing tunnel system and wastewater pumping station with the aim of improving the water quality in the Gowanus Canal over the long term.
