The hearing was called against the background of a successful city endeavor in the state courts to obtain a ruling requiring the Federal government to release billions of dollars of impounded Federal Water Pollution Control funds.Charles Samowitz, Acting Commissioner of the NYC Department of Water Resources, explained that the Federal government had impounded one half of the funds allocated under 92- 500, Amendments to the Water Pollution Control. Act of 1972. New York City went to the local district courts and the Court of Appeals to have those funds, $18 billion apportioned over three years, freed.%u201cWe ate now waiting to see if the federal government will appeal the case to the Supreme Court,%u201d Samowitz said. %u201cIf the lower court%u2019s decision is not overturned, the Red Hook Water Pollution Control project may see some additional monies that will quicken the cleanup of the Gowanus.%u201dIn another Gowanus related development, the City Planning Commission has scheduled public hearings for Feb. 27,10 a.m. at City Hall, to discuss a proposal to remap the remaining portion of the former Brooklyn Union Gas site in Carroll Gardens as a public place.The site, a 6.2 acre parcel which would be placed under the jurisdiction of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Administration, is presently mapped for heavy manufacturing use. The change was requested by the Gowanus Canal Redevelopment Committee, which is composed of elected and appointed local officials and other community representatives.With regard to the Pumping Station hearing, Samowitz stated that the meeting was a formality, proscribed by law. All testimony was in favor of the station, which will replace the existing one located at the head of the Gowanus Canal at Douglass St. with one which will have a greater work capacity.The pumping station will cost $10.5 million, a small portion of the over $300 million total cost of the Red Hook project. Its purpose now is to send water from the Canal into the existing sewer system and then into Buttermilk Channel.%u201c There will be a dram atic change in the quality of the Canal waters and the surrounding environment only after the sewage treatment interceptors are built,%u201d Samowitz said. %u201cThis pump is one of the early steps on the way to that goal.%u201dJMTURN TOtPhoonlx, 132 C lin to n S fro o f , B rooklyn, N .Y .
