  • Summary of Housatonic River Status Report Public Meeting, New Milford, Ct
    Housatonic River—“Rest of River” Remediation Housatonic River Status Report Public Meeting New Milford High School, New Milford CT Tuesday, June 12, 2012 Welcome Betsey Wingfield, CT DEEP, and Jim Murphy, US EPA, welcomed members of the public to the Housatonic River Status Report meeting. Jim reviewed the meeting objectives, agenda, and ground rules, and introduced staff members from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), MA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and MA Department of Fish and Game (DFG). Mr. Murphy explained that the Status Report outlines an approach to the proposed Rest of River plan, not the plan itself; the plan should be released in the summer, and there will be a formal public comment period after its release. The Status Report is available at: http://www.epa.gov/region1/ge/index.html. Ms. Wingfield highlighted that the Housatonic River is a very important resource to the people of CT and that, although the bulk of the remediation work will likely be conducted in MA, it will have significant impacts o the quality of life of CT residents. Presentation of Status Report by U.S. EPA Susan Svirsky, Project Manager for the Rest of River remediation for the US EPA, presented the Status Report. The Status Report is the result of a dialogue between EPA and state agencies from Connecticut and Massachusetts that has been underway for the past several months. About 20 agency representatives worked to reconcile perspectives and address the complex issues involved in the Rest of River remediation.
