\"pump<\/a><\/center><\/td>
September 23, 2009 - GE has changed their approach to dewatering this part of the river. They have added sheet piling and a pump. BEAT is concerned that the pump is sitting on top of contaminated river sediment. GE put down stone first, but we feel that could have stirred up the sediment.
\n
\nMass. Department of Environmental Protection said that there has been monitoring of turbidity (how much sediment is in the water column) downstream. Was that monitoring being done when the sediment from putting down the stone would have been detected?<\/td>

Pump to dewater the work area is located on top of contaminated sediment. Rock was put down under the pump.<\/td>GE has agreed to remove junk as well, including the stuffed chair in the river bank and shopping carts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
