TRANSPORTATION & DISPOSAL

The U.S. EPA-approved On-Site and Off-Site Transportation and Disposal Plan describes the proposed transport and disposal of sediments and soils removed from the Housatonic Rest of River project, including the evaluation of hydraulic transport, trucking, and rail transportation methods. Approximately 79% of all material from the project is to be removed without any truck transport over local public roads. The remaining material will be transported by trucks or a combination of rail and trucks.
