This site provides access to performance standard monitoring data that is being generated as part of Phase 2 dredging and sediment processing facility operations. For more information about the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site go to: www.epa.gov/hudson.
The second phase of the Hudson River dredging project began in spring 2011. Dredging occurred between June 6 - November 8, 2011. Approximately 363,000 cubic yards of PCB-contaminated sediment was removed from the river during this time. Off-site shipment of dredged material was completed on January 9, 2012. Phase 2 dredging will resume in spring 2012.
NEW To view Phase 2 data, click on one of the categories on the left side of the screen, or go to the interactive data maps. The interactive data maps show, by location, project activities and monitoring data for both engineering performance standards of water quality (resuspension) and quality of life performance standards such as air quality, odor, noise, lighting, and navigation.

Phase 1 dredging occurred between May 15 and October 26, 2009. Performance standard monitoring data was collected daily between May and December 2009. Phase 1 data can be accessed at the bottom of each monitoring page.
