Mayor reports EPA administrator visited Cornell Dubilier Superfund site and reaffirmed federal commitment
Summary
At the March 3 South Plainfield council meeting Mayor Matthew Pinesh reported that an EPA administrator visited the Cornell Dubilier Superfund site and "affirmed their commitment" to ongoing project work, the first such high-ranking federal visit the mayor recalled.
Mayor Matthew Pinesh reported at the March 3 South Plainfield Borough Council meeting that an EPA administrator, identified in the transcript as "Administrator Zeldin," visited the Cornell Dubilier site in South Plainfield and affirmed the agency's commitment to the Superfund project work there.
Pinesh said the visit occurred recently and described it as notable because it involved a high-ranking federal official visiting the borough to "affirm their commitment to the Superfund site project work and especially here in town at the Cornell site." The mayor called it 'probably the first time I remember such a high ranking federal official in the borough.'
The transcript records the mayor's summary in his report to the council; the meeting record does not include statements from the EPA representative, nor does it record details of any commitments, timelines, or funding announced during the visit. The council did not take formal action at the March 3 meeting related to the visit.
Cornell Dubilier is listed in meeting remarks as the local Superfund site that prompted the federal visit. The transcript does not include additional specifics about remediation steps, schedules, or any required follow-up actions by the borough or federal agencies.
Mayor Pinesh presented the report during his remarks near the end of the public meeting before the council recessed to executive session.
