Contaminated Sediment Cleanups Require Collaboration Among EPA Offices, Memo Says

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency is asking its enforcement, Superfund and water offices to work together more closely to address contaminated sediments in water bodies. The recommendation could produce benefits in efficiency and might be especially relevant for work on contaminated sites in New York and New Jersey. The work of the offices of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and Water already intersect regularly, but the new directive asks the offices to further identify and implement opportunities for collaboration.
