Dog poop polluting Gowanus Canal
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
A new drainage system meant to
keep sewage from fl owing into the Gowanus
Canal is being circumvented — by
dog poop!
That’s right, crap may not be fl ushing
in the fetid waterway from pipes
below, but stormwater is causing turds
planted by man’s best friend to trickle
down from the streets above, according
to a local environmental watchdog.
“Basically dogs are the problem —
and I’m not saying anything anti-dog,
but we have to be realistic,” said Eymund
Diegel, a member of the Gowanus
Community Advisory Group, which
keeps an eye on the $1.2 billion federal
Superfund cleanup of the fi lthy waterway.
The Department of Environmental
Protection installed new storm sewers
in April to prevent sewage from being
dumped into the canal during rainstorms,
but water samples taken from
the canal by the Carroll Street Bridge
showed high levels of microscopic poop
following three storms last spring, according
to Diegel.
The probes contained more than
24,000 colonies of Enterococcus bacteria
— a pathogen found in human and
animal intestines — per 100 milliliters
in late May and mid-June, which compares
to other samples taken from Prospect
Park Lake where dogs abound, leading
Diegel to conclude that the nabe’s
pooches are behind the spike.
“It’s essentially being treated as a
toilet,” said Diegel. “It fl ushes away the
poo.”
A rep for the Environmental Protection
Agency was at a loss for words upon
hearing Diegel’s astonishing revelation
at a Gowanus Community Advisory
Group meeting on Sept. 24.
“That is surprising,” said Christos
Tsiamis, the agency’s Gowanus Superfund
project manager.
The Gowanusaur has taken weekly
probes of the area for about fi ve years
and sends them to a lab in Manhattan,
where citizen testers log water qualities
across the Five Boroughs for New York
City Water Trail Association, a nonprofi
t environmental group.
This reporter joined the scientist
during a morning sample session on
Sept. 26, gritting my teeth and plugging
my nose as I ventured down the canal
aboard Diegel’s canoe.
The Gowanus Canal may have a bad
reputation, but paddling down the canal’s
placid, oily surface to the Carroll
Street Bridge was actually kind of nice.
Sadly, taking a sample required me to
plunge my hands into its skeevy depths
— known to harbor sewage, toxic waste,
and even trace amounts of the clap —
but, so far, no rash!
Fortunate for me, Brooklyn hadn’t
seen any rain in the last few days, making
it unlikely that any serious dog poop
had found its way into canal recently,
and the odor was only pretty bad.
The feds plan to carve out the dirt
from the First Street Basin, one block
south of the outfl ows, and turn the inlet
into wetlands as part of the cleanup, and
Diegel said the city should reroute the
poop water there, where plant life would
fi lter out the crap before it trickles into
the canal.
“We would have room to put it in the
constructed wetlands and fi lter basins,
which we’re doing anyway,” he said.
A spokesman for the feds said the
agency would push the city to remedy
the situation in order to make sure separated
sewers keep the canal clean, but
declined to comment on whether they
would divert the runoff to the First
Street Basin.
“EPA intends to convey this information
to the New York City Department
of Environmental Protection and ask
them to review this matter to ensure
that the new infrastructure functions
as designed,” said Elias Rodriguez in an
emailed statement.
The Department of Environmental
Protection’s press offi ce did not respond
to a request for comment.
