Coal Tar Cleanup Activities Resume

The second year of the Congaree River coal tar cleanup project is underway. Dominion Energy’s contractor is installing a rock berm in the center of the Area 1 cofferdam to help with dewatering. After that they will work to seal any seeps in the dam. Once the area has been dewatered they will clear it for potential unexploded ordinance. They will also be installing an on-site wastewater treatment plant. The contractor hopes to begin removal activities by mid-May (assuming the river cooperates).

DHEC will be posting regular updates on their website here.
