Public meeting will discuss Badin Lake Sediment Remediation Project

Representatives from Alcoa, the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the US Environmental Protection Agency are participating in a public meeting Tuesday night to discuss and explain a planned remediation project at Badin Lake. The meeting begins at 6:00 pm at the Badin Inn in Badin, NC.

As part of its ongoing commitment to protect the environment, Alcoa has developed plans to cap sediments in Badin Lake near the former Badin Works plant site. The sediments have been closely monitored for decades and do not post a risk to the environment or people who use Badin Lake. Capping the sediments is a precaution that will stabilize the sediments and eliminate the possibility that the sediments could be disturbed in the future.

The public meeting will allow citizens to learn about the capping project and other ongoing remediation activities. The meeting will include information sessions on redevelopment and other topics of interest to the Badin community.
