Alternative Solutions To The Cleanup

At the invitation of Housatonic River Initiative, representatives from two companies presented their technologies for cleaning PCBs from the Housatonic River. One company, Genesis Solutions, has developed a system for precision dredging that also quickly dewaters sediment. The second company, Biotech Restorations, has developed a technology for breaking down PCBs. The meeting in Lenox lasted about 2 hours. It was videotaped by BEAT and will be shown on Pittsfield Community Televsion (PCTV) and Community Television For The Southern Berkshires (CTSB). A DVD is also available from BEAT for $10 to cover duplication and shipping (email BEAT). The slides from the presentations are available at the bottom of this page.
