Health Risk Assessment and Management. Sunday, March 28, 2010. FIRESIDE CHAT Hudson River PCB Dredging: The Case of the Predictable Waterborne PCB Exceedances. On 28 March recently analyzed Hudson River water samples were reported to harbor PCB levels four times higher than the Federal drinking water standard of 500 parts per trillion (ppt). This news should have surprised no one. Residual sediments disturbed by dredging are mobile, along with their PCB load. EPA’s website indicates that the turnar...

Health Risk Assessment and Management. Sunday, November 13, 2011. EPA Silence on Impacts of Tropical Storms Irene and Lee on Hudson River PCB Dredging Is Ominous. EPA reported that Hudson River PCB dredging is “back on target” after high river flow delayed the start of Phase 2 this past spring. Indeed, raging currents driven by Irene and Lee caused 500-year flooding, and gouged new channels up to 45 feet deep along the Mohawk River. The storms exerted comparable effects on the Hudson River. Did currents ...

Health Risk Assessment and Management. Thursday, May 12, 2011. Hudson River PCB Dredging: Hearings and Injunctions May Be Imminent. May have been EPA’s last chance to avert legislative hearings, judicial injunctions, and delay of Hudson Dredging Phase 2, scheduled to commence this month (May). EPA must justify its Phase 2 plan, especially in light of the evident failure of Phase 1. GE and EPA had much to explain and, these days, much public opposition to overcome. EPA must draw a clear distinction betwee...

Health Risk Assessment and Management. Monday, May 21, 2012. More on Emerging Issues for EPA PCB Dredging Five-Year Review. In its five-year review of the Hudson River PCB dredging project, EPA should consider the following three emerging developments in deciding whether Phase 2 can be resumed and implemented safely:. 8211;3. Scientific articles now link PCBs to developmental processes that are thought to underlie causation of autism, most notably calcium channel effects that alter nerve cell dendrit...

Health Risk Assessment and Management. Thursday, October 13, 2011. Repairing the Flawed US Post Office Business Model, for Economic and Environmental Benefit. This year’s Postal Service deficit is approaching $9 billion, but remedial suggestions seem ineffective. Closing some post offices will make delivery more expensive, and USPS less competitive. Reducing delivery days will divert more business to the internet or other carriers. The fact is, the USPS business model is flawed. USPS is ‘too big to...

Health Risk Assessment and Management. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Issues for EPA PCB Dredging Five-Year Review. Here are some observations that EPA should factor into its five-year review of the dredging project. After the first season of dredging, GE reported that sediment samples outside. The dredged area “show that dredging caused wide-spread redistribution of PCB-containing sediments on the surface of the river bottom.”. High-flow events already have driven some of this dredge-mobilized sediment. High-flo...
