Fresh Kills Totally Explained

Everything about Fresh Kills totally explained

Fresh Kills (from the Middle Dutch word kille, meaning "riverbed" or "water channel") is a stream and freshwater estuary in the western portion of the New York City borough of Staten Island. It is the site of the Fresh Kills Landfill, formerly New York City's principal landfill.
The watershed (basin) of the Fresh Kills drains much of the wet lowlands of the western portion of the island and flows into the Arthur Kill around the Isle of Meadows. The channel around the north end of the Isle of Meadow is sometimes called Little Fresh Kill and the southern channel is called Great Fresh Kill.
The stream has two major branches. The north branch is Main Creek. The south branch is Richmond Creek, which drains much of the central part of the island, with its headwaters near Historic Richmond Town, on the southern end of the terminal moraine of the island. The system of streams provides recreational kayaking and wildlife viewing in the preserved wetlands.

Fresh Kills Park Project

Covering 2,210 acres (8.9 km²), three times the size of Central Park, Fresh Kills Park will offer a variety of public spaces and facilities for varied activities. The site is large enough to support many sports and programs including nature trails, mountain biking, community events, outdoor dining, sports fields, kayaking and canoeing.
A large wind farm is proposed for the park which has the potential to deliver electricity to 5,000 homes in Staten Island.
