(New York, N.Y. – July 25, 2016) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed that no further cleanup is needed at the Hormigas Groundwater Superfund site in Caguas and Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico. The site was added to the Superfund list because solvents were found in a public drinking water supply well, which is no longer in use. The community’s current drinking water supply is monitored regularly to ensure the water quality meets drinking water standards and is safe to consume.
