The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 announces a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Hastings Groundwater Contamination Superfund Site, Operable Unit 1 – Colorado Ave. Groundwater. The selected remedy combines continued groundwater extraction via the existing Whalen Energy Center well field and Well D to address residual groundwater contamination; treatment of extracted groundwater via beneficial use as non-contact cooling water; and a long-term monitoring program to monitor performance and effectiveness of the remedial action.
