Here is a summary of the document:

Summary:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made significant progress in the cleanup and restoration of the Raymark Superfund Site in Stratford, Connecticut. The site was contaminated with hazardous chemicals, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos, lead, copper, and others, which posed a threat to human health and the environment. The EPA has worked with local partners to excavate and remove over 100,000 cubic yards of contamination, clean up and restore 28 properties, including 12 active businesses, and restore natural habitats along Ferry Creek. The cleanup efforts have also created jobs and supported local economic development. The project has been funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provided $113 million for the cleanup and restoration of the site. The EPA and its partners have made significant progress, but more work remains to be done to complete the cleanup and restore the site to its natural state.
