1/12/2007 Update or Other Action Army Corps of Engineers notified DEC it is still evaluating the site for the Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) program eligibility. The CANOL #4 Pipeline has been determined to be a FUDS and it includes the Carbon allotment, which includes the "Frank residence". Project eligibility is still being determined; a positive determination is needed before the Corps of Engineers can conduct site characterization or cleanup work on the site under the FUDS program.

7/30/2019 Update or Other Action DEC commented on a TWUA permit for water use from Yarger Lake. Surface water will be withdrawn from Yager Lake to be used in a bentonite slurry for directional drilling during installation of a fiber optic cable. This specific surface water withdrawl location is close to two sites where we know product has been seen and porewater next to the lake is contaminated, including the Frank Residence. Due to the proximity of many contaminated sites along the overall project route, the Contaminated Sites Program recommended submitting a pre-construction or soil handling workplan to the Contaminated Sites Program for review prior to excavation activities.
