He is committed to making a sound decision and moving this site forward as it has been listed on the National Priorities List for decades." - EPA Spokesperson On Background We are still on schedule to sign an amendment to the ROD in September 2018. EPA is currently developing the final Record of Decision amendment including the Responsiveness Summary which provides responses to the comments received during the extended comment period. There are no planned schedule changes. Once a final remedy is selected EPA will initiate the process with the PRPs to perform the remedial design and remedial action.

The Monitor is a wonky publication/Web site that covers the reactor decommissioning industry. I'm doing a story on the Record of Decision on the West Lake Landfill cleanup being expected no later than Sept. 30, I covered the preferred alternative --partial excavation --being announced in February. Here's my question. Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00031421-00001 With Andrew Wheeler replacing Scott Pruitt, is the partial excavation option still the frontrunner for tackling the West Lake Landfill cleanup? Or have other alternatives become more prominent in the discussions leading to the Sept. 30 Record of Decision? My bottom line is whether we should be on a serious look-out for something other than the partial excavation preferred alternative unveiled in February My contact information Thank you very much for your help.
