The US EPA has ruled more evaluation needs to take place determine the safety of PCB disposal at the Clinton Landfill.
The US EPA has completed its initial review of more than 450 public comments on a proposal to dispose of the toxic chemical waste, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) into the Clinton Landfill. Based on their review, they have decided that further evaluation of the site's hydrogeology will be needed before they can make a final decision on Clinton Landfill's application to dispose of PCBs contaminated material at the site.
In March of last year, the EPA opened a public comment period on the proposal and held a public hearing at Clinton High School in June. More than 200 people showed up to the meeting to have their voices heard. The public comment period was later extended.
