Andy,
New York City wasn't satisfied with just trashing Staten Island.
The city also allowed the Atlantic coast line from the New York Bight to the
coastal plain out to the continental shelf to be used as a vast dumping
ground for acid waste and sludge barges.
Those folks would open the discharge valves on the barges shortly after
clearing the Narrows(where the Verrazano bridge is now located), and steam
for the authorized dumping area on the shelf.
Naturally the barges were empty by the time they arrived so they could
immediately turn around and steam for port.
