	ATSDR - PHA - Pelham Bay Landfill, Bronx, Bronx County, New York
		The Pelham Bay Landfill (PBL) is an inactive 81-acre municipal waste dump at 40º51'23" latitude, 73º48'52" longitude in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, New York (Appendix A, Figure 1).
		Eastchester Bay is used for swimming, boating, and fishing by local citizens.
		In 1988, under the direction of the NYC DEP, surface water in Eastchester Bay was sampled to determine whether the bay was suitable for swimming and recreational purposes.

		Eastchester Bay vicinity, is necessary to return water depth to prior navigable levels, restoring capacity to berth boats in existing slips, and again bring in larger vessels, which is no longer feasible at low tide.
		While the flow of contaminated water into Eastchester Bay remains an issue for a number of Bronx residents, many continue to fish and swim in the vicinity of the landfill, often on the landfill itself, regardless of official prohibition.
		A bathymetric survey of Eastchester Bay around the Pelham Bay Landfill and the southern tier of Pelham Bay Park was carried out on 17 January 1999 by Roelof Versteeg from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.

		Restoration of salt marsh and rocky habitat around the perimeter of the Pelham Bay landfill and down the southern tier of Pelham Bay Park serves to connect the wetlands and rocky islands north and east of the landfill with another areas to the south.
		Seining has frequently produced flounder adjacent to Pelham Bay Park and Palmer Inlet saltmarshes, and it is expected that the salt marsh restoration, creek forms, and water flowing into and out of Eastchester Bay from the wetlands would provide essential habitat for flounder, increasing growth rates of local stock.
		If Eastchester Creek, Bronx River and other nearby federal navigation channels are also dredged as part of this project, it would improve availability of waterbased transportation, as well as transportation to and from the Bronx from other areas by larger boats capable of bringing more passengers or goods.

		Eastchester Bay, at that point where it touches the gravel bank of the roadbed of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad is a shallow inlet of Long Island Sound.
		Hanging onto the shores on both sides of the gravel roadbed which is apparently a causeway are narrow pierways, boathouses which are no more than shacks; and a few hundred feet in from the boathouses, on the north side of the railroad are perhaps half a dozen small frame houses.

	Eastchester Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eastchester Bay is a protected body of water between City Island and the mainland Bronx, New York.
		Technically, it is a sound, not a bay, since it is open to larger bodies of water at both ends.
		Barge traffic transiting the length of the bay in and out of the Hutchinson River is concentrated into a few hours a day, as is constrained to times of high tide.

		The parents of 11 children who have either died of leukemia or are fighting the disease have won a 10-yearbattle to argue in court that a toxic Bronx landfill is the cause.
		One of eight city dumps, the Pelham Bay landfill was created in 1963 for household waste, but attorney Bert Blitz, who is representing the parents and children, said that by the next year, local residents began complaining about odors.
		The city Health Department determined the landfill was the major source for fecal bacteria in Eastchester Bay, where Noonan's daughter and many other neighborhood kids swam.

	The Narrows
		The core area of the latter subcomplex essentially extends from Eastchester Bay and the Throgs Neck Bridge in New York eastward to Greenwich Cove in Greenwich, Connecticut.
		The reasons for this are the densely urbanized or disturbed shoreline area along most of the shorelines of the bays, and most importantly, the high fish and wildlife values of the bay waters themselves relative to the surrounding lands.
		The bays are relatively shallow (2 to 10 meters [8 to 33 feet]) glacial valleys modified by marine processes and strongly interlinked with sediment and water processes in Long Island Sound.

	Nonnon v City of New York (2006 NYSlipOp 04373)
		The study, entitled "An Evaluation of Childhood Leukemia in the Pelham Bay Area of the Bronx," was prompted by residents' concern that the Pelham Bay landfill may have caused elevated disease rates in the surrounding population.
		While the City's studies and Dr. Neugebauer's study came to opposite conclusions, the methodology used in conducting the epidemiological studies was in strict conformity with the dictates of this field of science and the studies are properly admissible evidence.
		Because plaintiffs' epidemiological and toxicological experts failed to use generally accepted scientific methodology, their opinions that the Pelham Bay landfill was a substantial contributing factor to the acute lymphoid leukemia that occurred in all but two of the plaintiffs lacked a proper foundation and was therefore inadmissible as evidence.

		On the western shore of Hart Island, close to where Rikers Island prisoners bury the city's unclaimed dead, several derelict boats lie on the rocks unclaimed by their owners and ignored by city government.
		In a 2-square-mile swath of Eastchester Bay, 24 derelict vessels have been run aground at the water's edge or wallow half-sunken near it.
		While community groups have teamed up with the Sanitation Department and other government agencies to clean up discarded boats in Jamaica Bay and the Harlem River on the Manhattan bank, no such effort is underway in the Bronx.

		If for many species the numbers are small (the Bronx is, after all, the Bronx), the variety is astonishing: in recent years some 238 species of birds have visited the borough, said David Kunstler, a wildlife manager for the borough's parks.
		Pelham Bay and Van Cortlandt parks, whose combined acreage is nearly five times the 840-acre area of Manhattan's Central Park, provide the borough's main bird habitats.

		Situated in the middle of Pelham Bay Park, the Pelham Parkway Drawbridge carries the Pelham Parkway over the Hutchinson River.
		The proposed Pelham Bay-Shore Drive, a four-mile-long, six-lane parkway, was to have been constructed on earthen fill in Eastchester Bay from the Throgs Neck Bridge toll plaza north to Pelham Bay Park.

	ATSDR - PHA - Pelham Bay Landfill, Bronx, Bronx County, New York
		To evaluate the potential health risks from contaminants of concern associated with the Pelham Bay Landfill site, the New York State Department of Health assessed the risks for cancer and noncancer health effects.
		Increased cancer risks were estimated by using site-specific information on exposure levels for the contaminant of concern and interpreting them using cancer potency estimates derived for that contaminant by the US EPA or, in some cases, by the NYS DOH.
		This category is used in ATSDR's Public Health Assessment documents for sites that have certain physical features or evidence of short-term (less than 1 year), site-related chemical exposure that could result in adverse health effects and require quick intervention to stop people from being exposed.

		According to a manuscript from "Records of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club" in the archives of the Mystic Seaport museum in Connecticut (right across Long Island Sound from Oyster Bay), this burgee was in fact derived from the cruzeiro flag as used as a rank flag by Brazilian admirals.

		Not quite, but the charmingly rickety wooden bridge, with its sign welcoming visitors to City Island, the "Seaport of the Bronx," should be your first clue that your destination is more New England fishing village than sprawling New York metropolis.
		Despite the area's provincial air, don't mistake City Islanders for your average local yokels: City Island is home to three art galleries, a host of historical and maritime museums, antique shops, the best seafood outside of Le Bernardin or the Blue Water Grill, and the only authentic auberge français in all of New York City.
		Taking public transportation to City Island is a logistical nightmare, but if you must, take the 6 train to Pelham Bay Park, then jump on the BX29 bus to City Island.
