Abstract |
EPA and the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut (collectively, the Parties) have been working cooperatively for the last several months to discuss potential approaches to clean up the Rest of River portion of the GE Housatonic site. These discussions have focused, in part, on the need to address the risks from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to humans, fish, wildlife and other organisms while avoiding, mitigating or minimizing the impacts of the cleanup on the unique ecological character of the Housatonic River. This summary document reflects the current status of the Parties preliminary, good faith efforts to discuss and identify potential remedial approaches for the Rest of River in light of the Parties shared goals and interests. The Parties recognize that no remedy decisions have yet been made, EPA will consider all relevant information, and any remedy proposal and all other information in the administrative record, including this status report, will be subject to public comment at the time that EPA issues a proposed cleanup plan. |
