“Environmental cleanup was conducted at the time the facility closed, however the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviewed the cleanup in recent years and determined that additional cleanup was needed. Final remediation work at the site began in October 2019 and concluded in late 2020,” officials said. “This project represents what we’re all about at the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, protecting the environment, and protecting the people who live in that environment,” Dykes said. “The Lamont Administration is committed to equity, to ensure that all communities get the same quality of clean-up and environmental remediation. I’m so grateful to all of the different agencies and stakeholders who made this project possible.”
