The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be holding a “hybrid public hearing” on what the agency said is an amended proposed plan for further work at a Connecticut Superfund Site. The hearing will be held starting at 7 p.m. on January 10, 2024 and running until all comments are heard, according to the EPA. The superfund site is in Woodstock. The federal agency said it would accept comments on the “preferred remedial alternative” identified for the Linemaster Switch Corp. site. in the proposed plan. No new information will be presented at the hearing, according to the agency. “The Proposed Plan presents EPA’s proposed changes to the current (ongoing) remedy for the site.” “EPA concluded that as long as soil near the dry well was a source of groundwater contamination, VOC concentrations in groundwater posed an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment, given the possible use of the groundwater for drinking water. Cleanup activities included the installation of soil and groundwater treatment systems,” EPA reports in background on the project.
