 The Area 2 cleanup includes removal of the Otsego City Dam, realignment of the river to create a single stable channel, bank soil and PCB “hot spot” excavation, capping of the anabranch areas (areas where streams break away from the main river and then rejoin further downstream), and long-term monitoring.In Feb. 2016, EPA approved the Area 3 site investigation report, which details the results of soil and water sampling at the site.This report indicated high levels of PCB-contamination in the soil and sediment.
