Even though dredging is complete, the DEC will continue to oversee activities related to the closure of waste bed 13 including the wastewater treatment plant. At this time, Honeywell is covering bags and cleaning basins. The west basin has been cleaned and the east basin is currently being cleaned. There are no puddles lying around. Additionally, the dredged sediment pipeline has been cleaned and is in the process of being dismantled. You will notice that the pipeline along Rt. 690 is being removed. Along with other equipment within the sediment processing area at the SCA, the thickeners have been cleaned and prepared for dismantling. Honeywell is performing these tasks with DEC oversight. These activities will continue until weather no longer allows this fieldwork. Over the winter period, DEC will perform periodic inspections at the SCA.
Further closure activities for the SCA will commence next spring. DEC will distribute information regarding the resumption of closure activities at the SCA as well as capping of the lake before any significant fieldwork begins. Please know that Honeywell will continue to monitor and maintain the SCA for many years to come; DEC will continue its regulatory role and provide oversight along with NYSDOH and the USEPA.
DEC will continue its response to community concerns. If you experience obtrusive waste bed-related odors, please notify the hotline at 315-303-8068
