DESCRIPTION:

Cleaning up (remediation) and restoring the Housatonic River and watershed from PCB poisoning is one of the great success stories of the Massachusetts environmental movement. The restoration side of the story was covered in the 2001 Catalogue (Housatonic River Restoration, p. 21); this is the other side of the coin — remediation — in which undoubtedly the strongest voice for a total cleanup of PCBs has been the Housatonic River Initiative (est. 1992). Contamination was caused by a major General Electric facility, primarily from 1940 until 1976 when PCBs were outlawed. Cleanup also takes many years, and it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to remove the PCBs from schools, homes, businesses and public areas. Massachusetts’ legal standard for PCB levels is two parts per million (ppm); many of these sites have levels up to 40,000 ppm! The total job will require not just physical cleanup and environmental education, but public health studies of former GE workers and residents who live on or near contaminated areas. It won’t happen without a strong, courageous voice demanding it. HRI is that voice of conscience for total, rigorously demonstrated, remediation. Your support can help ensure that HRI’s voice is heard.
