To address the contaminated soil underneath River Road while minimizing the impact on traffic, Honeywell has proposed injecting a chemical horizontally into the contaminated areas beneath the road. The chemical would effectively stabilize the contaminated soil in place. EPA has approved a pilot treatability study to evaluate the chemical that will be used. The soil samples collected during September's sampling efforts will be treated in an independent laboratory to determine the dosage and effectiveness of the proposed treatment. Honeywell will also use the monitoring wells to make sure that the treatment is working appropriately. Once the results of the treatability tests are analyzed, the schedule for implementing the cleanup plan will be determined.
