Specifically, the applicant has applied to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for authorization for the following site remediation measures:
• excavate sediments and fill along the landfill shoreline and place rip-rap along the landfill edges;
• cleanup and partially fill and cap bottom sediments in two partially filled-in tidal ponds;
• place a temporary dike at the edge of the outer pond shoreline to allow for dewatering, filling and capping of pond bottoms;
• remove contaminated sediments along the pond shoreline and tidal wetlands area and replace with a clean soil cover, riprap and/or enhanced wetlands; and
• remove deteriorated pier and associated sand fill as mitigation to offset open water filling activities which are necessary to prevent further erosion of landfill contaminants into navigable waters.
