Father Richard Gorman the new Chair of the Croton Filtration Monitoring Committee has scheduled a monthly meeting of the CFMC for Tuesday night May 27th at 7:00pm in the basement of the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 160 Van Cortlandt Park South, across from Van Cortlandt Park by the Major Deegan Highway.
Fr Gorman has asked DEP to present "Water for the Future" as well as the
upcoming scope, costs, and schedule for construction projects at Jerome
Park Reservoir(JPR) beyond the JPR Croton Filter Project.
As of now the
DEP has been invited and has not confirmed attendance. At last months CFMC meeting scheduled by Father Gormen in attendance were representatives from the Parks Department, but DEP did not show up.
A note of interest is that at the Community Board 8 Environmental and Sanitation Committee meeting there was a power point presentation about the rehabilitation of Gate Houses 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 at the Jerome Park Reservoir by the DEP with Shane Ojar the Community Outreach Director for DEP answering some of the questions with "That is a matter for the CFMC meetings not this presentation". Mr. Ojar is the representative from DEP to the CFMC meetings.
