FEDERAL CREOSOTE OU III UPDATE
Oakville, Ontario, October 19th, 2004 — Bennett Environmental Inc. is providing this press release in response to certain media reports with respect to a proposed 95% engineering design from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for the Federal Creosote Operable Unit III (OU III)
The media reports have indicated that the US EPA has estimated, under its current proposal for OU III, approximately 100,000 tons for disposal with 25% to 30% requiring thermal treatment. Reports indicate that, under the current US EPA proposal, the footprint of the Rustic Mall retail buildings would not be excavated. However, the Manville, New Jersey Borough Council is considering a “mixed use” redevelopment plan and if the plan is approved by the Council the US EPA would be compelled to excavate an additional volume of soil.
The final determination of soil requiring excavation and thermal treatment is still pending.
