On April 11, 2014 -- about 48 hours after David's last Breakfast Briefing visit -- EPA Region 2 Administrator Judith Enck held a press conference announcing the Agency's draft plan for addressing contamination along the lower Passaic. Stretching eight miles from Belleville to Newark Bay, this section of river forms part of the Diamond Alkali Superfund site centered around Newark's Ironbound district.

This time around, David will help us understand what has happened to the proposed remediation plan since the public comment period on the draft was closed in August 2014. He will let us know when we can expect a finalized plan as well as what other considerations (beyond public comments) are factoring into its completion.

Space is limited, so advance registration is strongly recommended. Click the button below to register online. To register by phone, please call (973) 538-3500 x22.
