Where:

Online - Zoom

Scenic Hudson, Hudson Riverkeeper and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater invite you to join a virtual meeting about the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site – Where are we now, what’s next, and how you can help. The three organizations are a part of the Friends of a Clean Hudson (FOCH), a river-wide coalition focused on monitoring the PCB cleanup in the Hudson River.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency plans to release its draft third Five Year Review of the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site for public comment this winter. Through these reviews, required under the federal Superfund law, EPA reports on the status of the cleanup and issues a determination as to whether the selected cleanup remedy is working as intended and is protective of human health and the environment.

Join us to discuss a new independent assessment of EPA’s Upper Hudson River PCB cleanup.

Speakers include:

Althea Mullarkey, PCBs Project Consultant, Scenic Hudson;
Drew Gamils, Staff Attorney, Riverkeeper;
Kevin Farrar, independent scientist;
Dr. David Carpenter, Professor, School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Health Science, University at Albany
