AN OPEN LETTER TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUPS

We, the undersigned environmental activists and community residents, oppose the siting of the Southwest Brooklyn Garbage Transfer Station in this residential neighborhood. This marine transfer station presents a severe danger to human health in Bensonhurst, Coney Island and surrounding areas, and to wildlife in Gravesend Bay - an area that has been cited as one of the most significant aquatic wildlife habitats in the entire City.
