The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a Proposed Plan that evaluates potential cleanup alternatives for contaminated soil and groundwater at the Diaz Chemical Corporation Superfund Site and identifies and provides the basis for the Agency’s preferred cleanup plan.
The EPA’s preferred cleanup plan consists of in-place thermal treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater in six source areas located at the Diaz Chemical property and natural degradation of groundwater contaminants downgradient of the source areas.
Documents in support of the cleanup plan are contained in the administrative record located at the Community Free Library, 86 Public Square, Holley, (585) 638-6987. The library is open Mon/Wed/Fri 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. and Tues/Thurs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A public meeting to discuss the results of EPA’s investigation, describe the preferred cleanup plan, take comment and answer the public’s questions will be held on Wednesday, September 5, at 7 p.m. at the American Legion, 5 Wright Street (under US Post Office), Holley.
