This report presents the results of the EA, which discusses the environmental effects of the proposed emergency cleanup measures and evaluates these measures in the context of: avoiding or minimizing adverse effects; enhancing the quality of the environment so that the expected benefits can be weighed against any adverse human impacts; identifying any irreversible commitment of resources; and suggesting potential mitigation measures. The EA concludes that any of the proposed alternatives will be an improvement on current conditions but that some have certain advantages over others. Waste removal will reduce public health hazards, improve air quality and surface water quality, and ease traffic congestion. The impacts on the environment will be short-term. Collection and transportation will raise dust and odors, but these can be controlled by specific operational procedures.
