Collapsing House Barge Investigated



Esopus Creek houseboat barge


Patrol from Kingston to Hudson with Alex Matthiessen aboard. At Saugerties we launched the skiff and photographed an abandoned “house-barge” about which we have received a number of complaints. We also investigated the sewer plant outfall/discharge inside Catskill Creek which is also the subject of numerous complaints.

Swan at Newtown Creek sewage treatment plant.


Finding more sewage and trash from Combined Sewer Overflows on the creek – NYC alone has 700 of them.
