DuPont cleanup advances at former plant site in forest
The state owns the site once used for high purity silicon and X-ray film, with DuPont liable for final cleanup. Remediation includes demolition, removal of X-ray film waste, and extensive sampling of soil, water, sediment and groundwater. A new plan for further cleanup was issued for public feedback earlier this year, with work spanning years. DuPont Forest spans Henderson and Transylvania lines, hosting four major waterfalls, lakes and 80 miles of trails drawing about 750,000 visitors annually.
