Hydrology Study Prepared for Underground Brook!



We are making progress, thanks to you.

With the leadership and dedication of Aaron Petersohn, B.Arch. of Ira N. Pierce, P.E.,P.C.
Engineers+Architects+Planners+Environmental Scientists
we now have the estimate for the hydrology study at Brook Park.
which will help us identify the location and flow of the underground brook.

The Capital Project we are working on with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation will feature the "daylighting" of this natural water feature, with enhancements from the recovered water from adjacent roofs.

Please contact:
Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito

Send a postcard or letter with thanks for her support and encouraging her efforts to have the Parks Department fund the hydrology study prepared by our environmental engineering consultants in a speedy manner. The Parks Department has already funded a previous soil study, but the outlined work plan we have prepared is what is needed to move this initiative forward.

Thanks!
