The Order requires Respondents to undertake the Remedial Action (RA) to implement a portion of the dredging and capping remedy selected in EPA?s September 27, 2013 Record of Decision (ROD) for the Gowanus Canal Superfund Site (Site), Brooklyn, New York. For purposes of the planning and implementation of the ROD, EPA divided the Gowanus Canal (Canal) into three Remediation Target Areas (RTAs). RTA 1 extends from Butler Street to 3rd Street. This Order requires implementation of the RA for RTA 1 and the procurement of a staging area for future RTA 2 dredging and capping work. Implementation of the balance of the RA will be the subject of one or more future enforcement documents.
The Amendment to the 2020 Unilateral Administrative Order extends the work under the UAO to the middle reach of the Gowanus Canal. The estimated value of the Amendment is $369 million.
