EPA Further Extends Public Comment Period for Proposed Final Cleanup Plan at
Newark’s Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, Lister Ave. Portion
Newark, N.J. (Nov. 7, 2024) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
extended the public comment period for its proposal to finalize a cleanup plan
for the 80-120 Lister Ave. portion of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in
Newark, N.J. In response to community request, the deadline for submitting
public comments has been extended from Nov. 12 to Nov. 26, 2024. The EPA held
a public meeting on Sept. 19 to outline details of the plan and address
questions from residents and stakeholders.
The proposed plan calls for continued operation of the existing remedy, with
improvements including reinstalling and reactivating a total of seven
groundwater pumps, upgrading the current groundwater treatment system, and
making any necessary repairs to the existing cap covering contaminated
materials. This approach builds on the previously completed work and would
avoid the short-term risks associated with other options such as digging up
and removing the contaminated material outright. 
Written comments on the proposed plan may be submitted until Nov. 26, 2024, to
Eugenia Naranjo, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 290 Broadway – 18th Floor, New York, NY 10007 or via
