EPA's 34th 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 underway since January are related to the fact
that the method of dredging to be performed in 2017 (hydraulic
dredging) is different than the dredging performed in 2016
(mechanical dredging).

Preparatory activities currently underway (week of April 3rd):

~	Completion of application of ecological layer in Area A.

~	Turbidity monitoring during placement of eco-layer in Area A.

~	Continued installation of sediment processing and water treat-
ment equipment needed for 2017 work.

~	Continuation of turbidity curtain installation around the ABD.

~	Clearing of debris in/around bridge above Acid Brook.

~	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 April 10th):

~	Complete installation of turbidity curtain around ABD.

~	Continue installation of sediment processing and water treatment
equipment needed for 2017 work.

~	Bathymetric surveying.

~	Initiate fish relocation.

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