(New York, NY) The E.P.A. is extending public review on a cleanup project suggested for the Cornell-Dubilier location in South Plainfield, New Jersey from the original deadline of November 14, 2014 to December 15, 2014.
On September 30, 2014, the E.P.A. suggested a project to clean up a 9 mile stretch of Bound Brook as the final phase of the cleanup of the Cornell-Dubilier Electronics Superfund location in South Plainfield, New Jersey. The suggested project includes dredging PCB-contaminated sediment, excavating soil from the flood plains, excavating an area next to the former Cornell-Dubilier facility where PCB-containing capacitors were buried, relocating a
36-inch waterline that crosses the former facility, and capturing contaminated groundwater that discharges into the Bound Brook.
The E.P.A. is now taking public comments on the suggested project until December 15, 2014. People may submit written comments by mail or email. The E.P.A. held a public meeting in South Plainfield on October 21, 2014 to explain the suggested plan.
Written comments may be mailed or emailed to:
