EPA Extends Public Comment Period for Hopewell Precision Superfund Site Cleanup Proposal
Current status: Lifted (as of 25/09/2026, 13:25). Older update notes in the history text may be outdated.
Die U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hat die Frist für öffentliche Kommentare zu ihrem vorgeschlagenen aktualisierten Grundwasserreinigungsplan am Hopewell Precision Superfund-Standort in Dutchess County, New York, bis zum 28. September 2026 verlängert. Der Standort war zuvor mit flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOCs) kontaminiert, was zur Anbindung betroffener Haushalte an die öffentliche Wasserversorgung führte. Der Plan beinhaltet weiterhin Grundwasserüberwachung und Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung der Exposition gegenüber kontaminiertem Grundwasser, einschließlich der Begrenzung der Nutzung nicht-kommunaler Wasserquellen und der Anordnung von Tests für private Wasserquellen außerhalb des kommunalen Systems. All-clear (Times Hudson Valley, 23.09.2026, 14:45): PFAS contamination in Newburgh forced the city to stop drawing drinking water from Washington Lake and switch to the Catskill Aqueduct. New research indicates residents still face health concerns and distrust of tap water, with these long term impacts discussed at a community event.
