On March 8, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a detailed technical assessment of the first phase of the dredging operations on the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediment in the upper Hudson River. This assessment, along with General Electric's assessment, are being submitted to the panel of independent scientific experts for review. In addition, to the report being submitted to the scientific panel, EPA is also soliciting comments from the public that will also be submitted to the panel. The first phase of this project is being used as a test run for the far larger phase 2 of this project, which EPA hopes to start in 2011. The technical report is 185 pages and covers a number of operations and discusses problems and recommended changes to reduce PCB air emissions and water resuspensions. Needless to say EPA feels that the operation can be done successfully with a few changes and GE has some major issues with the process because of the PCB resusensions. It will be interesting to see what the panel has to say.Future Environment Designs Training Center specializes in asbestos, indoor air quality, industrial hygiene, and occupational safety training programs.
