Per the agreement of an administrative order on consent Millennium Holdings LLC and Georgia Pacific Corp. will perform a time critical removal action at the Plainwell Impoundment. The Plainwell Impoundment stretches from the Plainwell Dam upstream past U.S. 131 and includes polluted river sediment and banks and floodplain areas.
EPA and MDEQ have approved a engineering design document for the removal action. The cleanup will include removal of about 132,000 cubic yards of waste material, containing 4,400 pounds of PCBs from the impoundment area. This cleanup action is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2007 and be completed by the end of 2008.
