National Forests in Florida opening Public Comment Period on Environmental Cleanup at Florida State University Radiation Waste Disposal Site

Bristol, Florida, October 30, 2020– For Immediate Release – The USDA Forest Service is proposing an environmental cleanup of the Florida State University Radiation Waste Disposal Site. A draft Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (EE/CA) has been prepared to identify and evaluate removal action alternatives to reduce the potential threat to human health and the environment from past storage activities, and the Forest Service invites public review and comment. This action is in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency guidance under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. 

If you are interested in providing input and comments, the administrative record is available for review on-line at www.fs.usda.gov/florida.
