the Yeah, would just add the Sierra Club, I would just add that something should be in and also the Newtown Creek Alliance.
2:05:37
If if the facility is sited on a waterway, the city should require that they use it or else they can't be on the waterway or they can't site the that that is critical.
2:05:49
Again, it if you if you take a tour of the Newtown Creek area, most of these warehouses are sitting on the creek, yet none of them that I know of are using it.
2:06:01
So that should be, you know, the Sierra Club should be considering that as one of your bullet points that it it should require, and the city can.
2:06:10
But, you know, the commissioner I I keep talking to the commissioner about this DEP should require at lee or at least incentivize citing if you're on a creek, waste again, look at waste management.
2:06:24
You you know waste management sits on the creek.
2:06:28
I I wanted you to stay up there, but I guess you didn't you didn't want that, you know, but but because it's important.
2:06:35
Look at waste management.
2:06:37
Their business is garbage.
2:06:39
How do they get it?
2:06:40
You know, they're sitting literally on the creek.
2:06:44
And when I asked them when they were when they opened the warehouse there, said, are you gonna use the waterway?
2:06:49
No, we're not in the barging business.
2:06:53
I said, well, you're not in the rail business either or in the truck business, but you're trucking and railing this stuff out, but you're not using the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation, which is a barge.
2:07:07
And they didn't really have an answer.
2:07:09
So I think in all the testimonies, especially the Sierra Club and NCA, that that is critical.
2:07:17
It's a critical point in your testimony.
2:07:19
If you can, you know, think about that.
