GE-Housatonic River Superfund Site public meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, 2025
BOSTON, MASS. (June 16, 2025) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency invites the public to attend a virtual Citizens Coordinating Council (CCC) meeting on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 from 6:30 pm – 8 pm.
To register for the Zoom meeting, or for more information about the Site, visit: www.epa.gov/ge-housatonic.
The purpose of the CCC is to serve as a vehicle for community involvement in the implementation of the settlement agreement between GE/Pittsfield and the government, to be a mechanism to ensure that all parties to the negotiated agreement are able to honor their commitment to listen to, to learn from, and to incorporate the ideas and concerns of the community to the greatest extent possible, and to enable representatives of diverse interests in the region to communicate with each other, and to provide community input and structured feedback to GE and the government.
The scope of the CCC is to address topics related to PCB clean up in Pittsfield and in and around the Housatonic River, especially issues related to implementation of the Consent Decree.
EPA has the lead in the CCC for issues related to implementation of the Consent Decree. MA DEP, and CT DEEP when applicable, have the lead for PCB issues not covered by the Consent Decree. "Lead" means that they are the starting point for discussion and resolution of issues, and they are the key decision makers on those issues.
