New York City Department of Environmental Protection in the $160 million, Pennsylvania & Fountain Avenue Landfills (PAFAL) closure project in Brooklyn, NY, one of the largest closures ever undertaken in the state of New York" The landfill was mentioned on July 10, 2007, as undergoing a $20 million ecological restoration with the Pennsylvania landfill. The area is also under discussion by local government to be considered for more development. City Line Park was mentioned as being redesigned and transformed under a $1.5 million renovation launched this day. Ecological concerns were later expressed for the area on a "New York Habitat Restoration" webpage. Fountain Avenue has been infamous as a dumping ground for bodies of people slain by the mob. In the 1930s a group known as Murder, Inc. used the area as a dumping ground for bodies. Later the DeMeo crew disposed of many victims there. In 2006, the body of Imette St. Guillen, who was murdered on February 25, was discovered.
