(Albany, New York) The E.P.A. has made a project accessible for public review that outlines how GE
will dismantle and decontaminate its 110 acre sediment processing facility that was built to
support the dredging of the Hudson River PCBs superfund site.

The plan, called the Processing Facility Demobilization and Restoration Project, is
required by the 2006 legal arrangement between General Electric and E.P.A. to conduct the
dredging work.

The Project details how GE will take equipment apart and decontaminate it and how it will
address decontamination of infrastructure such as concrete slabs, roadways, train tracks and
buildings. The Project is located at http://www.epa.gov/hudson

The E.P.A. will take public input on the outline Project until Monday, September 28. Written
comments should be emailed or mailed to Gary Klawinski at the EPA's Hudson River Field

Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
