EPA Secures Voluntary Cleanup, Defers Enforcing UAO At New York Site

摘要

EPA Region 2 is deferring on whether it will enforce a unilateral cleanup order against a baby food manufacturer after the company took the rare step earlier this year of refusing to comply with the order, with the agency announcing Nov. 16 that a New York county has agreed to voluntarily dispose of the asbestos contamination at issue. In the announcement, Region 2 said it has entered into a voluntary agreement with Montgomery County, NY, to remove more than 2,500 tons of debris and other material containing asbestos after a demolition company demolished buildings at a former Beech-Nut Nutrition Company plant in Canajoharie, NY.
