Tale of two potential NYC Superfund sites

New York City in January 2010 moved to support a Superfund designation at Newton Creek even as it upheld its previous opposition to a Superfund cleanup at another water body, the Gowanus Canal. The Superfund cleanup of Newton Creek will involve majors Exxon Mobil, BP, Chevron and two other companies, all of whom are involved in a 'work plan' for the creek.
