By allowing the Tallman Island facility to treat up to 160 million gallons of wastewater a day during wet weather, the $30 million project is expected to reduce Combined Sewer Overflows into local waterways by nearly 140 million gallons each year. ![]() Construction was completed in late 2014 and DEP is now in the final stages of restoring and upgrading the Park. In order to increase the volume of wastewater treated at the Plant during wet weather, in 2012 DEP began the construction of a 2,100-foot-long, six-foot-high by six-foot-wide interceptor sewer line running north from the intersection of 131st Street and 11th Avenue, under Powell’s Cove Park, to the Tallman Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. During wet weather, the Plant has been handling approximately 120 million gallons a day. On a dry weather day, the Tallman Island Wastewater Treatment Plant located on College Point receives, cleans and disinfects approximately 55 million gallons of wastewater. New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Emily Lloyd today announced the activation of a new, large interceptor sewer line in the College Point neighborhood that will significantly reduce Combined Sewer Overflows into Flushing Bay, Powell’s Cove and Little Bay.
