Discovery of asbestos stalls controversial Gravesend waste transfer station construction
Asbestos alert.
Work on the controversial South Brooklyn Marine Transfer Station – a project that has been protested time and time again both before and after its groundbreaking – has been put on pause after workers at the site removing an underground concrete duct bank unearthed what has since been confirmed to be non-friable asbestos containing material (ACM).
Community Board 11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia informed residents at the board’s March full board meeting of the discovery earlier this month.
