Federal Register Notice, November 19, 2008 regarding proposed Consent Decree (PDF) (1 p., 198 KB)

Proposed Consent Decree (PDF) (23 pp., 1.7 MB)

Members of the public have asked where to find the September 2008 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit issued by EPA Region 1. A link to that document is at: http://www.epa.gov/region01/npdes/permits_listing_ma.html. Scroll down the page and click on the following permit: Pittsfield (Housatonic River), General Electric Company (PDF) (24 pp., 77 KB), September 30, 2008

The NPDES permit is under a separate EPA program, and is not being implemented as part of the work for the GE-Pittsfield/Housatonic River Site.

There will be a public meeting on Monday, October 27 at 6:30 p.m. at EPA/Weston Solutions, Inc., 10 Lyman Street Suite 2, Pittsfield, MA so that members of the public can discuss the terms of the permit and the appeals process with a member of EPA's NPDES Permitting staff.
