Agreements boost Kalamazoo River cleanup
A millions of dollars project to clean up Kalamazoo River is going to carry out with agreements between Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Michigan State and two companies responsible for PCB contamination.
“One agreement, between EPA, Michigan, Georgia-Pacific and Millennium Holdings, requires the companies to perform a projected $21 million cleanup of the Plainwell Impoundment Area, including removal of a portion of the Plainwell Dam. The other agreement, between EPA and the two companies, requires the companies to perform about $15 million in additional environmental sampling and investigation throughout the Kalamazoo River Superfund site.”
The Kalamazoo River is a 166 miles long river in the state of Michigan. By spending this amount of money, first, it will help improve the quality of water in the river; second, a research of the Kalamazoo River will be made, which is useful to determine how to spend money efficiently; last, it will benefit the future generations. It is a good example of how EPA will cooperate with other institutions and companies.
