Environmental Monitoring 06/01/17

USEPA issued a modification to the Pompton Lakes Works facility RCRA permit on June 22, 2015 to remove mercury impacted soils and sediment from Pompton Lake. The remedy encompasses four areas consisting of approximately 40 acres. The areas identified in the permit modification include upland soils between Rotary Park and the lake, the lake bottom adjacent to Rotary Park, and the lake bottom at two downstream locations. A map depicting these areas is provided above. A Corrective Measures Implementation (CMI) work plan which describes the means and methods upon which the remedy will be completed was approved by USEPA on April 22, 2016. Field activities associated with the remedy will commence in early June 2016 consisting of the site preparation with soil removal in the upland areas starting in late June 2016. Environmental monitoring of surface water, air, and noise will be conducted in accordance with the CMI work plan during the removal phases of the remediation program.
