Larry Parnass is reporting for The Berkshire Eagle the General Electric Co. last week released an 83-page report of how it would proceed removing carcinogenic toxins the company dumped into the Housatonic River in western Massachusetts, south of Pittsfield, through Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington and Sheffield. GE filed the report with the Environmental Protection Agency, four months after it signed an agreement that allows it to bury roughly nine-tenths of the material dredged from the river's reaches in a new engineered landfill in Lee. The EPA will now release revisions to an already modified plan on how the removal of PCBs will proceed. That document, expected late this summer will be submitted for public comments. GE's recent filing is not subject to public comment, but a spokesperson for the EPA says people can provide their reactions to the agency's point person in Pittsfield with the promise that reactions will be reviewed. The settlement agreement, signed February 10, resulted in GE not being required to ship all dredged material outside of Massachusetts, and the company agreed to provide $55 million to local communities. That agreement called for GE to begin work planning the Rest of River project, after years of delays. The company was obligated to lay out basic elements of what is expected to be an accord on the cleanup process. Read the full story in the Berkshire Eagle.
