Progress Report Showcases Reactive Capping Demonstration
Sediment Management Work Group members received current information on EPRI’s reactive capping demonstration in the Hudson River at an October meeting in Saratoga Springs, NY.  EPRI’s Jeff Clock reviewed the design, fabrication, and installation of the capping system and discussed results from recent monitoring activities.  Performance of the cap, which will remain in place for 12 months, will guide further remedial action at the site.  Other presenters covered sediment remediation case studies and issues.  In addition, attendees visited the GE Hudson River PCB dredging project.  For more information, contact Jeff Clock, (845) 608-0642, jclock@epri.com.
