RE: RE: RE: The Future for BennettHudson River cleanup has been deferred for a year while they look at ways to reduce downstream contamination from dredging operations. I had some correspondence with the Hudson River project manager who pointed out that burying is much cheaper than thermal remediation but then in the same breath said that GE is paying the bill. She even pointed out if burying doesn't work it can always be dug up again !! It is odd that the EPA didn't insist on a permanent solution. Environmental organizations are not happy with burial option so there is some room for Bennett to sell its capabilities. The EPA seems to have the authority to allow trans border shipment of PCBs from the US even though there is a law prohibiting such.
Rather than annoy the project manager I thought it better to pass the information on to Bennett and hopefully they have established a dialogue ?
The November 2009 press release from Lakeside Steel says, "Lakeside is implementing a plan to dispose of its PCB waste prior to itsfiscal year end at March 31, 2009, and eliminate the related environmentalliability on its balance sheet. As a result of this plan, and latestestimates, the Company reduced its environmental liability by $1,400,000 to$6,600,000 for the period ended September 30, 2009." I think they mean't March 31, 2010. Wonder if they still have the same time line and if they do then Bennett would have had the contract by now if they got it?
