It’s official; the Gowanus Canal was given Superfund status earlier this week.
Bloomberg’s not happy about it, nor are the real estate developers, who worry about the stigma, though it’s never been a secret that the canal is toxic and leaching into the soil. Others are happy; now the clean-up can begin. Yeah!

The idea of having a fixit project in the form of a boat in Brooklyn is very appealing, except for one thing. Should your craft ever take on water (and it might, given its state), you may wish to drop anchor somewhere other than up the Gowanus Canal, which awaits Super Fund designation.
