Bradford Island Superfund Site Listing Two Year Anniversary—What’s Up with Cleanup?
This spring marks two years since Bradford Island and surrounding waters was listed as a Superfund site and we are still waiting for cleanup to begin.
Cleanup Agreement to be Public Soon
There is good news. The Federal Facility Agreement (FFA), which is an agreement between agencies that is needed to guide the cleanup, is finally in the process of being completed! Two years after the listing and one year after the promised deadline, it looks like the FFA will be completed, signed, and made public this spring—a big step in moving forward with the cleanup. In the meantime, we’ve been pushing hard for cleanup to move ahead and engaging Columbia river communities to become involved in the cleanup process.
