Greenpoint Remediation Reports

Brooklyn Public Library’s Greenpoint Library and Environmental Education Center acts as a document repository for local remediation reports. These reports are produced by environmental engineers and developers that undertake evaluation and construction projects in areas that have been identified by government environmental agencies as a Superfund or brownfield site. These documents are made available to the public as a way for residents and businesses to access information about these projects and participate in the remediation process.

Look below to find digital versions for many of the documents in our repository available to download. More updated versions of records are digitally available at the Greenpoint Library and the Environmental Education Center.
 

For access and submission of remediation documents that are part of the Greenpoint collection, email your request to athompson@bklynlibrary.org or call the Greenpoint Library at 718.389.4394 and speak to Acacia Thompson, Environmental Justice Coordinator.

To give you the most thorough assistance, we ask that you give us 48 hours advance notice if you would like to access the physical versions of the reports.

For access to other Brooklyn archival documents stored at the Center for Brooklyn History (CBH), email your request to the cbhreference@bklynlibrary.org or call 718-222-4111.  You may also browse the CBH digital collection.
