EPA Talks River Cleanup Options
Environmentalists, sportsmen, and concerned residents attended a mini-workshop on the history of the Housatonic River, the health effects of the polychlorinated biphynels, PCBs, dumped into the river for decades by GE, and alternatives for cleanup.
The PCBs are a real risk to human health and a harm to animals in the river and in flood plains which is why a lot of planning needs to go into how to proceed with the clean up for which GE is footing the bill.
Options being considered included monitored natural recovery, in-situ capping, and environmental dredging.
