Actualización de la EPA sobre el huracán Fiona para el 30 de septiembre

PUERTO RICO – La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés) continúa coordinando de cerca con socios federales, del gobierno de Puerto Rico, territoriales y locales a medida que la Agencia responde al impacto del huracán Fiona. La EPA se centra en los impactos ambientales y las amenazas potenciales para la salud humana, así como en la seguridad de las personas en las áreas afectadas.    

“La EPA participa activamente en Puerto Rico en la labor de recuperación, y nos enfocaremos para que las comunidades más afectadas por la tormenta no sean pasadas por alto,” señaló Lisa F. García, Administradora Regional. “Además, nuestra oficina está preparando a los equipos de la EPA con personal de emergencia, científicos y otros profesionales para ayudar a las comunidades afectadas a recuperarse a corto plazo mientras procuramos maximizar el trabajo de recuperación tras el huracán Fiona con esfuerzos continuos para hacer que la isla sea más resiliente a largo plazo”.  

Aparte de su trabajo bajo FEMA, la EPA está evaluando el estado de los sitios de Superfund y los sitios de limpieza activos. La EPA también está evaluando la operatividad de las instalaciones de manejo de petróleo y productos químicos y los sistemas locales de agua no atendidos por la Autoridad de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AAA) de Puerto Rico, también conocida como sistemas fuera de la red de la AAA. La EPA está trabajando con la Coalición del Agua, una colaboración entre agencias federales y locales y organizaciones no gubernamentales que brinda asistencia técnica sobre los requisitos de agua potable segura, para realizar las evaluaciones y utilizará la información recopilada para determinar las necesidades y ayudar a asignar recursos. 

Los equipos de la EPA están llevando a cabo evaluaciones en instalaciones fijas en Puerto Rico que están reguladas por el Plan de Gestión de Riesgos (RMP), el Plan de Respuesta de la Instalación FRP) o los programas de Prevención, Control y Contramedidas de Derrames (SPCC). La agencia no ha identificado preocupaciones significativas en ninguna de las instalaciones. 

La EPA continúa evaluando los sitios de Superfund, los sitios petroleros y las instalaciones químicas en Puerto Rico para determinar si los sitios fueron afectados por el huracán Fiona y si existe la posibilidad de que la contaminación cause impactos fuera del sitio. La agencia no ha determinado que haya preocupaciones significativas en ninguno de los sitios, hasta el momento. 

La EPA tiene importantes recursos disponibles en línea en inglés y español sobre aguas de inundación, moho, escombros peligrosos, desechos domésticos peligrosos y otros impactos de los huracanes. El centro de información de la EPA para desastres y huracanes está disponible en EPA Hurricanes y EPA Huracanes.

Atlantic Richfield Company Agrees to Complete Multi-Million Dollar Cleanup of the Anaconda Smelter Superfund Site

WASHINGTON — The Atlantic Richfield Company (AR) has agreed to complete its cleanup of the Anaconda Smelter Superfund Site (Site) in Deer Lodge County, Montana, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice announced today. The state of Montana, on behalf of the Department of Environmental Quality, is also a signatory to the consent decree that was lodged today in the U.S. District Court in Butte, Montana.

Decades of copper smelting activity at the town of Anaconda polluted the soils in yards, commercial and industrial areas, pastures and open spaces throughout the 300-square-mile Anaconda Site. This pollution has in turn contributed to the contamination of creeks and other surface waters at the Site, as well as of alluvial and bedrock ground water. The closure of smelting operations in 1980 left large volumes of smelter slag, flue dust and hazardous rock tailings that have had to be secured through a variety of remediation methods.

Under the settlement, AR — a subsidiary of British Petroleum — will complete numerous remedial activities that it has undertaken at the Anaconda Site pursuant to EPA administrative orders since the 1990s. Among other actions, AR will finish remediating residential yards in the towns of Anaconda and Opportunity, clean up soils in upland areas above Anaconda and eventually effect the closure of remaining slag piles at the Site. The estimated cost of the remaining Site work, including operation and maintenance activities intended to protect remediated lands over the long term, is $83.1 million. AR will pay $48 million to reimburse the EPA Superfund Program for EPA and Department of Justice response costs and will pay approximately $185,000 to the U.S. Forest Service for oversight of future remedial activities on Forest Service-administered lands at the Site.

“This settlement highlights the Agency’s vigorous enforcement to ensure the complete cleanup of the Anaconda Smelter Superfund site,” said EPA Acting Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Larry Starfield. “The work performed under this settlement will further protect the environment and the health of the people who live, work, and play in this community.”

“We are pleased that Atlantic Richfield has agreed to finalize its long-term cleanup of the Anaconda Site,” said Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim of Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “Today’s consent decree follows other important settlements with Atlantic Richfield over the past two decades that have substantially improved the environment and restored valuable natural resources in the Upper Clark Fork basin. This settlement is also the product of a successful federal-state partnership to secure cleanup of a major hazardous waste site.”

“I was born in Anaconda the same year the smelter closed and while I never saw smoke coming out of the Smokestack that still stands over Anaconda, I know what it represents,” said U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich for the District of Montana. “It is a symbol representing the hard work of many Anacondans, including members of my family, that built our town.  But it’s also a symbol of a Superfund site that has existed for far too long.  If the Smokestack represents our past, this consent decree represents our future.  Many people, some who are no longer with us, worked diligently to get us to this point and I’m grateful beyond words for all of their work.  Our water will be cleaner, our soils will be purer, our slag will be covered, and our future will be brighter because of this historic agreement.”

“I am very pleased to announce the release of the proposed 2022 Sitewide consent decree for the Anaconda Smelter NPL Site,” said EPA Regional Administrator KC Becker. “Over the last several decades, EPA and MDEQ have made great strides in ensuring the cleanup of open space, residential areas, creeks and groundwater by Atlantic Richfield throughout Anaconda-Deer Lodge County. This cleanup of contaminated soils that impact surface waters and remediation of the largest slag piles at Anaconda builds on that progress.”

“This is an important milestone for the people of Anaconda and Montana. A lot of great cleanup work has already been done, and this consent decree will ensure that remaining remediation needs are funded and completed,” said Amy Steinmetz, Montana Department of Environmental Quality Waste Management and Remediation Division administrator. 

The consent decree filed today in U.S. District Court in Butte, Mont., is subject to a 30-day public comment period and approval by the federal court. A copy of the consent decree is available on the Department of Justice website.

Under Montana state law, the Department of Environmental Quality is separately required to put the Consent Decree out for public comment. The state’s public comment period will run concurrently with the federal public comment period. The consent decree will be available on DEQ’s website.

The consent decree and other information related to the Anaconda Site are available on EPA’s Superfund Site page.

La Región 7 de la EPA entrega un cheque de $400K a Denison, Iowa, para una subvención de Brownfields

La administradora de la Región 7 de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE. UU. (EPA), Meg McCollister es acompañada por la alcaldesa de Denison, Pam Soseman, el administrador municipal Bradley Hanson,  y miembros de la comunidad durante un presentación de un cheque gigante a la ciudad de Denison, Iowa, 30 de septiembre de 2022. (Crédito de la foto: Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE. UU.)

LENEXA, KAN. (30 de septiembre de 2022) – Hoy, la administradora de la Región 7 de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de EE. UU. (EPA), Meg McCollister, presentó un cheque gigante simbólico por un total de $400,000 a la ciudad de Denison, Iowa, para celebrar su subvención de Brownfields.

La ciudad fue sede del evento en Washington Park. McCollister estuvo acompañada por la alcaldesa de Denison, Pam Soseman, el administrador municipal Bradley Hanson, líderes regionales y miembros de la comunidad.

Denison fue seleccionada para la labor de evaluación en toda la comunidad y el desarrollo de planes de reutilización para sitios que incluyen la Planta de Energía de Servicios Públicos Municipales de Denison y el sitio de Avenue C. Esta subvención también apoya la creación de un sitio web del proyecto y servicios de traducción al español para actividades de difuión.

“La Región 7 de la EPA se enorgullece de celebrar la primera subvención de Brownfields de Denison”, señaló McCollister. “El Programa de Brownfields tiene un historial comprobado de empoderar a las comunidades, y estamos entusiasmados de que Denison ponga en práctica este financiamiento de la Ley Bipartidista de Infraestructura para sus propias necesidades únicas de reutilización y revitalización”.

“En nombre de la comunidad de Denison, estoy sumamente emocionada y agradecida de que la comunidad se asocie con la EPA en una subvención de evaluación de Brownfields para ayudarnos a limpiar áreas clave de nuestra comunidad”, indicó Soseman. “Esto aumentará nuestra capacidad de revitalizar las áreas vacantes transformándolas en espacios utilizables”.

La subvención está respaldada por la Ley Bipartidista de Infraestructura del presidente Biden, la cual aporta un total de $1.5 mil millones para promover la justicia ambiental, estimular la revitalización económica y crear empleos mediante la limpieza de propiedades Brownfields contaminadas o peligrosas.

Después del evento de entrega de la subvención, la EPA invitó a los miembros de la comunidad de Denison a reunirse con McCollister en una sesión de escucha comunitaria para discutir sus pensamientos sobre la salud pública y el medioambiente.

Antecedentes

Los proyectos de Brownfields pueden abarcar desde la limpieza de edificios con contaminación por asbesto o plomo hasta la evaluación y limpieza de propiedades abandonadas que alguna vez manejaron productos químicos peligrosos. Una vez limpiadas, las antiguas propiedades de Brownfields se pueden reconvertir en usos productivos como supermercados, viviendas asequibles, centros de salud, museos, parques y granjas solares.

El Programa de Brownfields promueve la Iniciativa Justice40 del presidente Biden, que tiene como objetivo entregar al menos el 40% de los beneficios de ciertos programas gubernamentales a las comunidades desfavorecidas.  Aproximadamente el 86% de las comunidades seleccionadas para recibir fondos como parte del anuncio de hoy han propuesto proyectos en áreas históricamente marginadas.

Desde su creación en 1995, las inversiones de la EPA en sitios de Brownfields han aprovechado más de $35 mil millones en limpieza y reurbanización. Esto ha logrado beneficios significativos para las comunidades de todo el país. Por ejemplo:

• Esta financiación ha creado más de 183,000 puestos de trabajo en limpieza, construcción y reurbanización y más de 9,500 propiedades han quedado listas para su reutilización.
• Conforme a los informes de los beneficiarios de la subvención, los beneficiarios lograron en promedio $20.43 por cada dólar de Brownfields de la EPA y 10.3 empleos por cada $100,000 de los fondos de subvención de Brownfield de la EPA gastados en acuerdos cooperativos de evaluación, limpieza y fondos de préstamos rotativos.
• Además, un estudio académico revisado por pares encontró que las propiedades residenciales cerca de sitios abandonados aumentaron su valor entre un 5% y un 15% gracias a las actividades de limpieza.
• Por último, analizando los datos cerca de 48 Brownfields, la EPA encontró que se destinaron aproximadamente $29 millones a $97 millones en ingresos fiscales adicionales para los gobiernos locales en un solo año después de la limpieza, lo que representa de dos a siete veces más que los $12.4 millones que la EPA contribuyó a la limpieza de esos sitios de Brownfields.

EPA Announces $26 Million in Funding for New Mexico Water Infrastructure Improvements

DALLAS, TEXAS (September 30, 2022) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced more than $26 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to the New Mexico Environment Department and the New Mexico Finance Authority for water infrastructure improvements.

At an event in Santa Fe, EPA Regional Administrator Dr. Earthea Nance presented a ceremonial check to the New Mexico Environment Department Secretary James Kenney, who accepted on behalf of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Officials from the EPA and the state of New Mexico joined a tour of a municipal water facility in Dixon, New Mexico, an example of the type of facility that would benefit from increased funding from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The grants mark the first significant distribution of water infrastructure funds following the passage of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The BIL allocates more than $50 billion toward repairing the nation’s essential water infrastructure, in turn helping communities access clean, safe, and reliable drinking water, prevent flooding, collect and treat wastewater to protect public health, and safeguard vital waterways.

“Water is an essential right for all individuals and is critical for community growth,” said Regional Administrator Dr. Earthea Nance. “Through this funding, and working with state partners, the EPA continues to make significant clean water advancements for communities in New Mexico. The EPA remains committed to modernizing water infrastructure to improve public health and the environment, including assisting vulnerable communities.”

 “We worked diligently to ensure that New Mexico quickly received our share of infrastructure funding so that we can begin to put it to use as soon as possible,” said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. “The people of New Mexico will have more access to quality drinking water and healthy watersheds thanks to our successful efforts to leverage these unprecedented federal investments. I thank the members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation for their work to deliver this important funding for our state.” 

“Every home should have access to safe and clean water," said Senator Luján. “I’m pleased to celebrate this grant from the EPA that will fund improvements to New Mexican acequias, water quality, and waterways infrastructure. This is one step towards ensuring clean and safe water is accessible to all.”

“I’m proud the historic investments we secured in the Infrastructure Law continue delivering on the promise to improve and rebuild our state’s infrastructure,” said Senator Heinrich. “In the face of severe drought and the ever-growing impacts of the climate crisis, it is critical that we have strong drinking and wastewater infrastructure moving forward. This funding helps our state achieve that goal.”

“Today’s announcement of $25 million in funding for clean and drinking water infrastructure will drive further growth in our communities and improve quality of life,” said Rep. Leger Fernández. “Our gente deserve reliable access to clean drinking water, no matter where they live or what background they come from. I will keep advocating for these critical projects in our New Mexico communities.”

“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering for New Mexico. While we know that water is life—far too many of our communities are struggling to meet their basic water needs. Today’s announcement that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will send over $26.7 million for critical water infrastructure projects is a crucial step in addressing our state’s water security needs,” said Rep. Stansbury. “This funding will help rebuild our infrastructure, create meaningful jobs, and improve the quality of life in our communities for generations to come.”

The New Mexico Drinking Water State Revolving Fund capitalization grant is being awarded to the New Mexico Finance Authority in the amount of $17,992,00 for their drinking water program. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is a financial assistance program to help water systems and states to achieve the health protection objectives of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The focus of this program is to improve drinking water treatment, fixing aging water distribution system, improve sources of water supply and replace or repair water storage tanks.

The New Mexico Clean Water State Revolving Fund capitalization grant is being awarded to the New Mexico Environment Department in the amount of $8,738,000. The Clean Water State Revolving Fund is a financial assistance program to provide loans to eligible recipients to construct municipal wastewater facilities, control nonpoint sources of pollution, build decentralized wastewater systems, create green infrastructure projects, protect estuaries, and fund other water quality projects. Nearly half of the grant will focus on assisting disadvantaged communities across the state.

Capitalization grants will continue to be awarded, on a state-by-state basis, over the course of the next four years. As grants are awarded, the state SRF programs can begin to distribute the funds to communities across their state.

While the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law presents the largest low-cost and no-cost funding opportunity for investing in water infrastructure, other programs do exist to help communities manage their water resources. More information about funding is available here.

EPA Confirms No Further Cleanup Needed at the Universal Oil Products Superfund Site in East Rutherford, New Jersey

NEW YORK – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized its decision that no further cleanup action is needed to address groundwater that discharges to nearby surface water at the Universal Oil Products Superfund site in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Sampling data indicates that contaminant levels will not pose a risk to the surrounding community. In addition, to further ensure long-term protection, EPA is amending the original cleanup action, requiring notices to be filed with property records and incorporating monitoring and other measures to ensure the integrity of the work done at the site.

“The major sources of contamination have been removed, and EPA also treated the groundwater," said Regional Administrator Lisa F. Garcia. "We will remain at the job by continuing to monitor this site in the long term to ensure it poses no serious risk to people living and working nearby."

This final decision comes after extensive work has already been done under a 1993 cleanup plan selected by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in close consultation with EPA. Under that plan, contaminated soil was dug up and treated, groundwater was extracted and treated, the area was capped, and long-term monitoring was required. The addition finalized by EPA today requires that property owners planning new construction on the land portion of the site evaluate conditions to ensure pollutants in indoor air will not exceed levels protective of human health for building occupants. In addition, property owners may be required to install certain engineering controls, such as a vapor barrier or a sub-slab-depressurization system, which uses a fan-powered vent to draw air from beneath the foundation slab, redirecting potentially harmful vapor from entering the building.

The Universal Oil Products Superfund site is a 75-acre area located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Site operations starting in the 1930s included chemical manufacturing and solvent recovery, later expanding in the mid-1950s to include a wastewater treatment plant and storage lagoons. Seepage from the wastewater lagoons and the routine handling of products and wastes resulted in the release of hazardous substances to the upland soil, groundwater, tidal marshes, and waterways.

EPA placed the site on the Superfund National Priorities List in 1983 and divided the site into two distinct areas called operable units (OUs). Today's final decision is for the first operable unit, which addresses the upland soil and shallow groundwater. EPA selected a cleanup plan for an interim remedy for OU2 in 2019, which addresses a former lagoon area, low-lying marshes, and the waterway channels of Ackermans Creek and its tributaries. The design for that cleanup is currently underway.

On July 22, 2022, EPA released its proposed plan to the public and held a virtual public meeting on July 27, 2022, to explain the plan and take comments. The Record of Decision released today addresses the comments received and formalizes EPA’s selected cleanup plan.

Herramientas de la EPA para ayudar a limpiar tras el huracán Ian

ATLANTA (30 de septiembre de 2022) – La Agencia de Protección Ambiental de Estados Unidos (EPA, por sus siglas en inglés) está coordinando estrechamente con socios federales, estatales, locales y tribales tras el paso el huracán Ian y recuerda a las comunidades, familias y propietarios de negocios afectados por el huracán que tomen medidas para que la limpieza después de la tormenta sea lo más segura y efectiva posible.

“Las actividades de limpieza relacionadas con el regreso a los hogares y negocios después de un desastre pueden plantear importantes desafíos ambientales y de salud”, indicó el administrador de la Región 4 de la EPA, Daniel Blackman. “La EPA está lista para ayudar a nuestros socios en todos los niveles a responder a cualquier desafío que pueda haber ocasionado Ian y garantizar que la salud pública y el medioambiente estén protegidos”.

Los desastres pueden generar toneladas de escombros, incluidos escombros de viviendas, árboles y plantas, pertenencias personales y desechos domésticos peligrosos. La forma en que una comunidad maneja los escombros tras desastres depende de los escombros generados y las opciones de manejo de desechos disponibles. Los residentes deben ser precavidos para asegurarse de que todos los materiales de desecho se retiren y eliminen adecuadamente, siguiendo las pautas locales.

La EPA ofrece varios recursos y consejos para manejar los escombros durante la limpieza de tormentas:

Utilice generadores portátiles de forma segura

Nunca use un generador portátil dentro de casas, garajes, sótanos de baja altura, cobertizos o áreas similares. Se pueden acumular rápidamente niveles mortales de monóxido de carbono (CO) en estas áreas y pueden persistir durante horas, incluso después de que el generador se haya apagado. Debido a que es imposible ver, saborear u oler los humos tóxicos, el CO puede matar antes de que uno se dé cuenta de que en su presencia en el hogar. Los efectos de la exposición al CO pueden variar mucho de una persona a otra dependiendo de la edad, la salud general y la concentración y duración de la exposición.

Evite el contacto con los escombros de viviendas

Los escombros de casas y edificios dañados pueden contener sustancias peligrosas, especialmente en construcciones más antiguas. Puede haber concentraciones elevadas de asbesto en el aire si se alteran los materiales presentes en el hogar que contienen asbesto. El asbesto en el aire puede causar cáncer de pulmón y mesotelioma, un cáncer del tórax y los revestimientos abdominales. como el plomo y el asbesto. El plomo es un metal altamente tóxico que produce una serie de efectos adversos para la salud, particularmente en niños pequeños. La perturbación o eliminación de materiales que contienen pintura a base de plomo puede dar lugar a una concentración elevada de polvo de plomo en el aire. Al ingresar a un edificio dañado por la tormenta, como mínimo, use una mascarilla respiratoria N-95, gafas y guantes protectores.

Mantenga la seguridad personal

Siempre use el equipo de seguridad adecuado, como gafas, una mascarilla respiratoria N-95 y guantes cuando manipule escombros. Esté alerta a los contenedores con fugas y productos químicos domésticos reactivos, como limpiadores de drenaje cáusticos o blanqueador de cloro. Limpie y deseche los productos químicos por separado, incluso si sabe cuáles son. Tenga cuidado al perturbar los materiales de construcción para evitar lesiones físicas u otros efectos sobre la salud, ya que pueden contener materiales peligrosos como el asbesto que, cuando se transportan por el aire, pueden inhalarse y causar efectos adversos para la salud. Si sospecha que puede haber materiales que contienen asbesto, no deben perturbarse estos materiales.

Separe los desechos por tipo

El daño de la tormenta crea muchos tipos de escombros domésticos y de edificios. Algunos de estos incluyen materiales de construcción, como paneles de yeso, ladrillo y madera; línea blanca o electrodomésticos, como refrigeradores y lavadoras; ropa, muebles y otros artículos personales; y desechos domésticos peligrosos, incluyendo pintura, limpiadores, fluidos automotrices, baterías y pesticidas. Es crucial separar los desechos para que las comunidades gestionen eficazmente el gran volumen de escombros después de una tormenta. Consulte con su municipio o gobierno local para obtener pautas específicas sobre cuándo y cómo separar los desechos. Obtenga más información sobre los tipos de escombros y cómo manejarlos aquí: https://www.epa.gov/natural-disasters/dealing-debris-and-damaged-buildings#cautions

Puede formarse moho después de las inundaciones

El agua de inundación puede hacer que el aire de su hogar se torne insalubre, porque cuando las cosas permanecen húmedas durante más de dos días, generalmente se enmohecen. La inhalación de moho puede causar efectos adversos para la salud, incluso reacciones alérgicas. El moho también puede dañar los materiales en su hogar. Al ingresar a un edificio dañado por inundaciones, como mínimo, use una mascarilla respiratoria N-95, gafas y guantes protectores.

Tenga en cuenta los recursos locales

La EPA ha desarrollado esta herramienta de mapeo interactivo de 12 tipos de recicladores y rellenos sanitarios que manejan los escombros de desastres. Esta herramienta proporciona información y ubicaciones de más de 20,000 instalaciones capaces de manejar diferentes materiales que se pueden encontrar en los escombros del desastre.
