Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

The NYC DEP sludge tanker Port Richmond made a hard turn into the flood tide on Monday morning in order to dock port side to the North River water treatment plant. The tanker loaded a cargo of sludge and brought it to the Passaic Valley Water Commission plant in Newark for dewatering. The PVWC processes a portion of NYC’s residual solid waste, with the balance going to centrifuges at the Wards Island plant and a few other locations.
