Bankrupt Freedom Industries received approval Monday evening from the state Department of Environmental Protection on a timeline for the company’s proposal to reclaim the site of the January 2014 chemical spill through a special DEP “voluntary” cleanup program.
The 16-page deal, called a “Voluntary Remediation Agreement,” spells out a series of reports and work that Freedom must do and sets a deadline under which final remediation is scheduled to be finished in the second quarter of 2016.
