GE today announced another major step forward in the implementation of the Hudson River dredging project. The company has signed an agreement with a waste disposal facility in Texas to accept the sediments that will be removed from the Hudson River.

In January 2007, GE awarded the first two construction contracts for development of the Fort Edward treatment and transportation center.

GE has submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency its final engineering design for the first phase of the dredging project that EPA has selected for the Upper Hudson River.

The dredging project GE will be performing in the Upper Hudson River will be one of unprecedented size and scope. To perform it safely and effectively, GE's dredging and construction contractors will need help from many local and national companies.

GE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today they have reached a comprehensive agreement for the implementation of EPA's 2002 decision to dredge PCB-containing sediments in the Upper Hudson River.

GE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are working together to implement the largest environmental dredging project ever undertaken in the United States - the dredging of the Upper Hudson River in New York State.

Before dredging can begin, a treatment and transport center where sediments removed from the river will be processed must be built. This center will be constructed on 110 acres of currently vacant land in Fort Edward, NY, along the Champlain Canal.
