Double Standard in Dredging?

The Michigan Messenger reports that the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) approach to cleaning up the Hudson River is vastly different than how the Saginaw River is being approach, despite similar dioxin-contaminated sediment concerns. The Hudson has been declared a Superfund site; the Saginaw has not. The Hudson’s dredged material will be disposed of in lined landfills; Saginaw’s is scheduled for unlined pits (by US Army Corps of Engineers plans). The Hudson River project uses silt curtains to contain sediment; Saginaw’s does not.
