In October 2014, GE agreed to conduct a comprehensive study (Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study) of PCB contamination in the floodplain. Upper Hudson River Floodplain InvestigationĪs part of the Hudson River cleanup, the Upper Hudson River floodplain (low-lying shoreline area) is being evaluated for the presence of PCBs. Fact Sheet: Lower River Sampling and Investigations (May 2023) English (pdf) Español (pdf).EPA has also been gathering additional information and data about the Lower River in coordination with New York State and other project stakeholders since 2019 to support these efforts. The new data will supplement information collected during EPA's investigation of the Lower Hudson River in the 1990s and GE’s periodic monitoring of Lower Hudson River fish and water since 2004. EPA is continuing to evaluate whether others may also be responsible for PCBs, as well as other contamination in the Lower Hudson. GE remains legally responsible for its PCBs in the Hudson River, including the lower portion of the river. The results of the sampling will be used to improve EPA’s understanding of the Lower River and inform EPA’s investigations moving forward. Data collection will focus on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), but other contaminants will be evaluated as well. The Lower Hudson River extends from the Troy Dam to the southern tip of Manhattan bordering New York and a portion of New Jersey.
