In March 2016, EPA activated and mobilized Emergency and Remedial Response Services (“ERRS”) contractors to apply a sealant on asbestos-containing pipe insulation exposed in the easement, as the RV1 removal action, to protect Brookfield Renewable Energy Group (“Brookfield employees”) and the public.
In September and October 2018, EPA was informed by Brookfield that the encapsulant used during RV1 was continuing to deteriorate, exposing larger areas of ACM within the easement. Brookfield personnel indicated that this area is traversed this easement to daily to access their hydroelectric building. EPA activated and mobilized ERRS contractors to apply a sealant over exposed ACM in the easement. The work was performed on October 16, 2018.
