Next Steps

-Transportation and Disposal of recovered product as needed.
-EPA submitted an amended Oil Removal Project Plan to address the installation of groundwater depression pumping systems based upon the finding of oil in adjacent off site wells.  This system will increase the efficiency of oil removal.  
-EPA will operate these systems for 6 months and then re-evaluate.
