Collecting feedback on Upper Hudson cleanup
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has extended by 30 days the public comment period for its third review of the cleanup of PCB-contaminated sediment from the Upper Hudson River.
The new deadline is Nov. 7, the EPA said in a statement.
The EPA reviews Superfund cleanups every five years. Its latest review concluded that PCB levels in water and fish are declining but that the agency needs more fish data. The EPA said it will issue an addendum to the current review as soon as 2025 and no later than 2027.
Comments can be emailed to [email protected] or mailed to Gary Klawinski, Director, EPA Region 2, Hudson River Office, 187 Wolf Road, Suite 303, Albany, NY 12205. The draft review is online at epa.gov/hudsonriverpcbs, along with a Lower River update.
