We spent a morning at the Lower East Side Ecology Center earlier this week sampling food waste leachate and pH levels. We are working on a feasibility study with the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation to improve the center and its operations. The site is brimming with potential to treat stormwater and possibly organic food waste effluent through a constructed wetland / treatment garden that could benefit the entire Lower East Side. Stay tuned for future updates as this project progresses!
