This is currently the river&#8217;s most toxic site, and its cleanup will be a huge step forward for the river&#8217;s cleanup and restoration progress. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cts.vresp.com\/c\/?DuwamishRiverCleanup\/3258f02f52\/012441d281\/10446690ba\/utm_content=credmond%40mac.com&amp;utm_source=VerticalResponse&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_term=Click%20here%20to%20view%20more%20information%20about%20Boeing%20Plant%202&amp;utm_campaign=May%202011%20update%3AThe%20Duwamish%20River%20Needs%20You%21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to view more information about Boeing Plant 2.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Your comments are needed by May 28th!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.duwamishcleanup.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DRCC\/TAG<\/a> is reviewing the proposed cleanup plan, and will submit formal comments by the deadline on May 28th. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">We want to hear your comments and questions: <a href=\"mailto:james@duwamishcleanup.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to email us!<\/a> or call: 206-954-0218<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">EPA will accept written comments from the public on their cleanup plans for Boeing Plant 2 until May 28, 2011.

DRCC supports EPA&#8217;s selected cleanup options &#8211; N2 (north bank) and S4 (south bank) remove the most contaminated mud, provide the thickest barrier, and are less vulnerable to earthquake damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">2. Extreme care needs to be taken to prevent the spread of contaminated mud during dredging, because escaping mud could wash up on South Park beaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">3. The cleanup needs to be coordinated with pollution control efforts up- and downriver or the area could be recontaminated. It is important to protect our investment in cleanup, as well as to ensure long-term protection of the environment and people&#8217;s health.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition asks &#8220;What&#8217;s New Along the Duwamish River?&#8221; The Boeing Plant 2 toxic cleanup is in progress!
