Purpose
Livingston Restoration Group is a Committee of individuals who were property owners in a legal action in Livingston, Montana to require the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway Co. to clean up the pollution created from its operation of the Livingston Railyard. The case was settled in May of 2012 and as a result, a fund was created to further the cleanup of the affected properties. The LRG Committee is committed to the investment and disbursment of funds to clean up and remediate the pollution in and around the plantiffs' properties and to affect source control
News
The Livingston Restoration Group (LRG) has been meeting since the fall of 2012, LRG hired Water and Environmental Technologies (WET) as their remediation consultant, and have been working over the winter to prepare plans for remedial design studies for remediation of soil and vapor, as well as to fully define the scope of the DNAPL contamination.
Through their technical working group WET and LRG intend to have plans that will allow for remediation design studies to be implemented during the 2013 construction season. Those studies will focus on the further remediation of vapor intrusion to supplement the newly constructed bioventing implemented by BNSF, on either side of Park Street, between E and O Streets. They will also focus on remediation methods for the probable PCE contamination in the soil under the Railyard sewer system manways and contained in the Cinder Pile, as well as the further definition of the source points in order that remediation for DNAPL may be employed.
Information related to the ongoing work and remediation will be periodically updated to this page. If you have a question, please email your question through the Contact link above. If you do not have email, you may call with your question to, Dave Erickson, WET 406-782-5220 or to Courtney Lawellin, counsel, at 406-222-0100.
