Inspection of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act-Funded Activities at Diaz Chemical Corp. Superfund Site in Holley, New York

Why We Did This Report

We conducted this inspection to determine the extent to which the EPA is using Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, funds to progress remediation at the Diaz Chemical Corp. Superfund site and whether the EPA has site safety measures in place to protect public health and the environment.

Summary of Findings

The EPA has acted swiftly to address past complaints from the public, but conducting community interviews during five-year reviews would allow the EPA to confirm that there are no community concerns. Also, updating the community involvement plan and making it publicly available would ensure that the EPA’s approaches for community engagement remain relevant.
