This site provides access to performance standard monitoring data that was generated as part of Phase 1 dredging and sediment processing facility operations. For more information about the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site go to: www.epa.gov/hudson.
Phase 1 dredging occurred between May 15 - October 26, 2009. Performance standard monitoring data was collected daily between May-Dec 2009. Post-dredging (weekly) monitoring began in late December 2009.
Rail car loading and transport of the dredged material at the sediment processing and dewatering facility in Fort Edward, to a licensed off-site disposal facility, will continue through 2010.
