EPA, Congresswoman Wexton host event recognizing progress in accelerated
cleanup, new waterline at Hidden Lane
PHILADELPHIA (May 14, 2024) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator and U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton
(VA-10) celebrated the significant progress made in addressing contamination
and restoring safe drinking water at the Hidden Lane Landfill Superfund site
in Sterling, Virginia.  
Thanks to more than $22 million made available through the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, the event marked the EPA’s aggressive remediation
efforts in removing the TCE source area and preparing for installing a new
waterline that will provide more than 110 homes with safe drinking
water.   
“The EPA is committed to safeguarding our environment and communities,” said
EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Adam Ortiz. “Thanks to resources
provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the EPA and its partners have
accelerated cleanup efforts at the Hidden Lane Landfill Superfund site to
remove contaminants and provide safe drinking water. This incredible progress
demonstrates the EPA’s promise to remove contamination, revitalize communities
and local economies, and deliver on our mission to protect public health and
the environment.” 
Loudoun County Supervisor Juli Briskman, community members and representatives
from federal, state and local partners also joined the two officials.  
“I’m proud that thanks to our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re
taking long-awaited action to clean up the Hidden Lane Superfund site in
Sterling, “said U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (VA-10). This will make our
community healthier and safer. I applaud the efforts currently underway here
by the EPA and state and local agencies to remove toxic substances from the
soil and groundwater, including the dangerous chemical TCE which has been tied
to Parkinson’s Disease. I look forward to continuing to support this cleanup
in any way that I can.” 
The historic BIL funding invested $3.5 billion in Superfund cleanups across
the country, dramatically empowering the EPA to address legacy pollution and
protect public health and surrounding communities. The final wave of funding
was announced in February. 
Altogether, the Hidden Lane Landfill Superfund site received: 
Approximately $5 million for TCE source area cleanup 
Approximately $17 million for the installation of a new public waterline 
Excavation at the site started Feb. 20 and is set to finish later this year.
Construction on the waterline is also expected to begin later this year.  
The Hidden Lane Landfill Superfund site, located between the Broad Run Farms
and CountrySide communities, was added to the National Priorities List in
2008.
