The NuHart Superfund Site in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is a former plastics manufacturing facility that has left behind significant environmental contamination. Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) has been actively involved in advocating for the comprehensive cleanup of this site to protect the health and safety of the surrounding community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decades of industrial activity at the NuHart site resulted in the contamination of soil and groundwater with harmful chemicals, including phthalates and chlorinated solvents. These pollutants pose serious risks to human health and the environment, necessitating a thorough and carefully managed cleanup process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NAG plays a critical role in ensuring that the voices of Greenpoint residents are heard throughout the remediation process. The organization works closely with local stakeholders, environmental experts, and government agencies to monitor the progress of the cleanup and advocate for the highest standards of environmental safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of its commitment to environmental justice, NAG continues to organize community meetings, provide updates on the cleanup process, and push for transparency and accountability from those responsible for the contamination. The goal is to ensure that the site is fully rehabilitated and that future development on the property is safe and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cleanup of the NuHart Superfund Site is a critical step towards restoring the environmental health of Greenpoint. NAG remains dedicated to this cause, working to secure a cleaner, safer future for the neighborhood. Through continued advocacy and community engagement, NAG aims to turn this site from a symbol of industrial pollution into a model of environmental restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
