EPA and General Electric Update Hudson Dredging Agreement Release date: 01/26/2009 The water line, which is estimated to cost $8.2 million to construct, is on schedule to be completed by April 2009, before dredging begins in May. EPA will also construct and maintain a temporary granulated activated carbon treatment system to protect the village of Stillwater’s drinking water supply during the Phase 1 dredging. The agreement calls for GE to pay up to $7 million toward the cost of the water line and the Stillwater treatment system. http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d10ed0d99d826b068525735900400c2a/aef206e043090fb68525754a005f53b1!OpenDocument On Jan 31, 10:12 pm, silver <[email protected]> wrote: > January 26, 2009 - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) > today announced that the federal government has reached an agreement > with the General Electric Company (GE) to modify a November 2, 2006 > consent decree requiring the company to dredge portions of the Hudson > River. > > On Jan 31, 6:59 pm, "Mercury.Sailor" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Good grief!!! > > > The EPA is not forcing GE to dredge the Hudson, The EPA is billing GE > > a couple of million dollars to HELP fund the new water pipe. > > > On Jan 31, 9:45 pm, silver <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Aside from the Obama thing do you still think it would be a good idea > > > for EPA to enforce GE > > > to dredge the Hudson? > > > > On Jan 31, 5:47 pm, CincyBabe <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I see.
