EPA to hold meeting on Amphenol plan tonight

Amphenol plan meeting tonight

After years of slow progress, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is asking for input on its final site remediation plan for the Amphenol/Franklin Power Products site.

The agency will hold a public meeting on the plan at 6 p.m. tonight at Franklin City Hall. EPA officials will hold a question-and-answer session for the first hour of the meeting, with the formal public hearing to follow at 7 p.m.

The statement of basis plan was released in mid-May but could change based on public comments submitted during the 45-day public comment period, which ends July 1. The plan is outlined in a 75-page document online at the EPA’s Amphenol page and in a YouTube video posted on the EPA Regions channel.

In addition to attending the meeting, the public can submit comments several ways:Via web, at https://bit.ly/3kOUikw
