Cabot/Koppers Superfund cleanup enters next phase with prep work underway

Crews in Gainesville have begun preparatory work this week on the next phase of the long-running Cabot/Koppers Superfund site cleanup, according to Alachua County. The immediate work involves replacing an existing stormwater ditch with a new pipe system, slated to run through January, followed by contaminated soil removal expected to finish by February. Construction of an underground barrier wall is then scheduled between March and July of next year.
