EPA's 39th update is to inform the community of the progress of
activities related to the upcoming dredging that will be performed on
that 36-acre portion of the Pompton Lake Study Area known as the
Acid Brook Delta (ABD). The dredging work is scheduled to com-
mence in the Spring 2017, but has yet to start.

Preparatory activities continue and relate to the fact that the method
of dredging in 2017 (hydraulic dredging) is different than the dredg-
ing performed in 2016 (mechanical dredging).

Preparatory activities currently underway (week of May 8th):

~	Continued installation of sediment processing and water treat-
ment equipment needed for 2017 including installation of piping,
electrical wiring and instrumentation controls.

~	Received granular activated carbon and completed filling vessels
that will be used as part of water treatment.

~	Securing permit modifications addressing changes in the sedi-
ment treatment processes

~	Continue routine inspection of site and work areas per approved
permits and for safety reasons.

Preparatory activities scheduled (week of May 15th):

~	Prepare for treatment system shakedown and testing with pota-
ble water.
