	Gaia Institute: Recent Projects-Beneficial Use of Dredge Materials (8a) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		While the archipelago on which the Pelham Bay Landfill is situated probably provided such habitat in historic time (see 1906 historic map of landfill and Royal Marina area on City Island in Figure 2.), the nearest environment with such structural diversity on the scale of acres of habitat is presently more than three miles away.
		Since the mission of the Pelham Project is to demonstrate the feasibility, long term stability, and advantages of engineered constructed wetlands for dredge material treatment and disposal, the intrinsic aim of this work is to provide a sound foundation to evaluate water and sediment quality results where dredged materials are used to construct intertidal wetlands.
		While the Pelham Bay Landfill has now been capped, only leachate from the southwest corner of the landfill is pumped to the Hunts Point wastewater treatment facility, potentially leaving other leachate mounded under the cap, to migrate through the eastern and northern reaches of the rock armor wall.

		Pelham Bay Park, the Bronx, New York City's largest park, is a forested peninsula in the Long Island Sound.
		The forest of Pelham Bay Park was lush enough and wild enough to be home to these trees that had survived here on the city's outpost for so long.
		Pelham Bay Park was a significant place for me, where I had discovered the everyday wild—all its intimacies of growth and death—a Manhattan native whose only childhood exposure to the forest was tv and summer camps.
