MAJOR NEWS!!! After decades of pollution and decades of studying the problem, Dupont proposes an official final clean-up plan to reduce the mercury in South River and South Fork Shenandoah! I (Jeff) just got off the phone with attorneys from NRDC (NRDC filed the legal case ten years ago which brought about the clean-up requirement). The attorney said she was very pleased with the proposed plan. I was floored. Good for Dupont. And or complements to the scientists involved and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality! Now the work begins.
