📰 News we're reading

• How the EPA says cleanups are working at 5 Long Island Superfund sites (newsday.com) — Federal regulators say cleanups at two Glen Cove Superfund sites are still protecting public health, but they’ll require ongoing groundwater monitoring and testing for chemicals like arsenic and PFAS. The Li Tungsten and Mattiace properties, including areas near Glen Cove Creek and Garvies Point Preserve, have seen major soil and water remediation, yet officials stress that Long Island’s aquifer and nearby neighborhoods still need close, long-term oversight.
