Casey Called for Memorandum of Understanding- Document that Outlines Plans for Cleanup Effort- to be Made Public / Inspector General’s Report Secured by Casey Revealed Lack of Records, Confirmed that Previous Remediation Plan Significantly Underestimated Material Buried at Site
Washington DC- Following an effort by U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), the Department of the Army has made public a critical document that outlines the federal government’s plan to remediate the Shallow Land Disposal Area (SLDA) in Armstrong County. Casey had called on the Army to release the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) so the public had more information about the cleanup. An Inspector General’s report secured by Casey revealed lack of records, confirmed that previous remediation plans significantly underestimated material buried at site.
“I’m pleased that the Army has decided to release this document so the public has more information about the cleanup plans,” Senator Casey said. “Moving forward it’s incumbent upon all the federal agencies with jurisdiction to make sure the community has all appropriate information about the remediation process.”
