EPA will be hosting a virtual public meeting on the Reach 6 (Woods Pond area) Remedial Design/Remedial Action at the GE-Pittsfield/Housatonic River Superfund Site. In this meeting, GE will be presenting its remedial design for Reach 6 (including Woods Pond and Valley Mill Pond) followed by a question and answer period.

GE will be removing sediment in Woods Pond up to 6 feet below the crest of Woods Pond Dam regardless of PCB levels, and an engineered cap comprised of an erosion protection layer, geotechnical filter layer, and chemical isolation layer will be placed to isolate any remaining contamination. The goal of this cleanup is to make Woods Pond suitable for recreation and community use.
