Community Boards 7, 8 and 12 will hold a meetingto hear from the public on whether or not the New York City Department of Environmental Protection can or should using blasting in work they propose to do in and around the Jerome Park Reservoir.

Tuesday, July 15, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Lehman College’s Music Building, Faculty Dining Room

250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, at Paul Avenue and Bedford Park Blvd

The Final Environmental Impact Statement (issued by then DEP Commissioner Chris Ward in 2004) stated that they would be no impacts at the Jerome Park Reservoir based on the work method proposed. Now they want to switch in mid-stream. If they want to do this, they will have to do a supplemental study. The trucks associated with the blasting method will be driving through our streets!
