Polluted Water in the Big Apple
The Newtown Creek is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the nation, fouled by more than a century of sewage overflows, oil spills and industrial waste. The coastline of this 3.8-mile waterway, located along the border of Brooklyn and Queens in New York - is lined with wastewater facilities, factories, warehouses and oil storage tanks. Willis Elkins is the Executive Director of Newtown Creek Alliance, a community based non-profit dedicated to revealing, restoring and revitalizing Newtown Creek, a Superfund waterway in New York
