As written

Yonkers Sewage Plant — 1973

EPA records specifically cite centrifugal thickening at Yonkers in 1973.

Why it matters

Another hidden-infrastructure story: the 1973 entry likely refers to a technical upgrade that changed how sewage sludge was handled.

Scope confidence

Strong

Likely concrete-block/brick process-building walls, equipment-room partitions, shafts and localized masonry around sludge/process structures; not the primary reinforced-concrete tanks themselves.

This scope is recorded as strong, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
