💧 Cleanup Progress Check: Invictus Energy Site When contamination is discovered, the priority is control, safety, and protection. At the Invictus Energy site, EPA crews have removed over 250,000 gallons of contaminated water, oil, and sludge while stabilizing leaking tanks and preparing for next cleanup steps. Work is transitioning toward on-site treatment solutions — a process that requires coordination, careful planning, and oversight to protect the surrounding community. Cleanup work isn’t instant, but progress continues. 🔗 Community partners, including Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, provided on-site coverages.

🚰 Water main breaks happen — and cold snaps can make them more likely by stressing and freezing pipes. If a water main break happens, follow guidance from your local utility, which leads response efforts (boil-water notices, flushing instructions), and avoid flooded areas. 💧 🛠️ Check out EPA’s tips for staying safe if service is disrupted: epa.gov/ground-water-a…

Did you know that the only RadNet air monitoring station in the Caribbean is operated by EPA in Guaynabo Puerto Rico? ☢️ It operates 24/7, and provides near-real time measurements of ambient gamma radiation that are publicly accessible on epa.gov/RadNet 🧪 The filters on RadNet monitor system capture particles from the air (airborne particulates). The RadNet operators collect the filters and send them to EPA’s National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) for screening. Access the results via epa.gov/RadNet 🧩It is one of 140 in the Unites States Find out more about the EPA's Nationwide Environmental Radiation Monitoring Program here: epa.gov/radnet #RadNet #AirQuality #EPA #Caribbean #PuertoRico #USVI #VirginIslands

📣 SAVE THE DATE - NSCW is moving back to early summer 📣 You asked. We listened. NSCW 2026 returns June 16–17 at MGM Springfield, right where the Northeast’s most important brownfield redevelopment conversations happen Stay tuned. The Call for Presentations goes live next week

ICYMI: We're installing monitors as part of a special study with @NYSDEC These monitors measure particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, known as PM2.5, which comes from vehicle emissions and industrial processes, posing serious health risks such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The EPA studies PM2.5 to monitor air quality, ensure compliance with health standards, and develop effective pollution control strategies. In this project, we set up seven separate samplers to ensure we gather accurate data. Collocation studies, like this one, are vital. They help us verify that our monitoring equipment gives consistent and accurate results by comparing how multiple instruments perform in the same environment. This is crucial for ensuring we effectively track air quality and protect public health! Stay tuned for more updates! 🌱🔍

🤝 Last week, the EPA met with the Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force (HETF) at the regional office in New York City. Senior @EPAregion2 leadership is working with the HETF to protect the public health and environment at the Onondaga, Tonawanda Seneca and Tuscarora Nations for its future generations. Some important topics discussed included the protection of drinking water, recycling and solid waste management, and indoor and outdoor air sampling and assessment. We look forward to our continued partnership and collaboration.

📍 Rockaway Township, New Jersey Tomorrow, @EPAregion2 will be hosting a virtual public meeting at 6:00 p.m. to provide an overview of the proposed cleanup plan for the Radiation Technology Inc. Superfund site in Rockaway Township, New Jersey.

Looking back at a great conversation about recycling and sustainability in Puerto Rico! 🌎♻️ @EPAregion2 teamed up with Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (@DRNAPR), the Institute for Sustainability Engagement from @SyracuseU, and the Municipality of Trujillo Alto at the Puerto Rico Recycling Partnership’s annual meeting to share updates and ideas from across government and beyond. Big takeaway from the private-sector panel: Puerto Rico’s circular economy grows when we work together—across sectors—to boost public education, reduce contamination, and invest in innovation to tackle market and infrastructure challenges. Collaboration + education + innovation = progress 💪✨ #CleanAirLandandWater #CooperativeFederalism #CrossAgencyPartnership
