*Blog Question of the Week: *What would convince you to change your driving habits? **Media Contact (for media only; please leave responses as comments on the blog [ http://blog.epa.gov/blog/2008/06/30/qotwdrivinghabits/#respond ]): Jeff Morin, (202) 564-6553 / morin.jeff@epa.gov
(Washington, D.C. - June 30, 2008) Ever wanted to tell EPA what you thought on an environmental topic? Each week, you have your chance in the EPA blog, “Greenversations.” Each question is an open-ended blog entry; please share your thoughts as comments. This week’s question:
*
What would convince you to change your driving habits? *Driving less, carpooling, and combining errands all mean less pollution. And with fuel prices rising, people are driving less, or driving smarter when they can. But many find it very difficult to drive less because of where they live or what they do.
*
?Que le convenceria para cambiar sus habitos de guiar? *Actividades como el guiar menos, hacer carpool y combinar mandados todas contribuyen a reducir la contaminacion. Mientras los precios del combustible estan en alza, las personas estan conduciendo menos y lo estan haciendo de manera mas inteligente siempre que pueden. Sin embargo, a veces se les dificulta guiar menos debido al lugar donde viven o por lo que hacen.

*EPA To Hold PuBlic meeting on Proposed Plan for Groundwater Cleanup at **ESCAMBIA WOOD TREATING SUPERFUND
Contact: Laura Niles, 404-562-8353, niles.laura@epa.gov
(Atlanta, Ga. - June 30, 2008) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a public meeting Wednesday, July 2, 2008 on EPA’s Proposed Cleanup Plan for groundwater (Operable Unit 2) at the Escambia Wood Treating Superfund site (the site). The public meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Pensacola Civic Center, 201 E. Gregory St., Pensacola, Fla.
The Proposed Cleanup Plan is currently open for public review and comment through July 28, 2008 before a final decision on the cleanup is made. The proposed cleanup strategy for Operable Unit 2 is to perform aggressive treatment of the source area and the most contaminated groundwater, and take active measures to address other less-contaminated areas of groundwater outside of the source area.
The site is an abandoned wood preserving facility, located at 3910 North Palafox Street in Pensacola, Escambia County, Fla., that operated from 1942 until 1982. During its operational period, the facility treated utility poles, foundation pilings, and lumber with creosote and pentachlorophenol. In October 1991, EPA excavated approximately 225,000 cubic yards of contaminated material and stockpiled it under secure cover at the site. In 1997, relocation of 358 households around the site began as part of EPA’s National Relocation Pilot Project. EPA is currently implementing the soil cleanup at the site and is completing Phase 2 of the National Relocation Evaluation Pilot project.
For more information on the site and cleanup progress, please visit http://www.etccleanup.org/
The Proposed Plan is available for review at http://etccleanup.org/fact-sheet/etc-ou2-proposed-plan-groundwater
*ATTENTION: A media availability session will be held at the Pensacola Civic Center prior to the public meeting at 5:00 p.m. Officials will be available to answer media questions concerning current activities underway at the site. This arrangement will allow for the public to use the entire public meeting to get information and have their questions answered.*
