In coming weeks, crews are scheduled to dredge polluted sediments from the Susquehanna River bed in Binghamton left by a defunct gas manufacturing plant.
The $2.6 million project, southeast of the intersection of Brandywine Avenue and Court Street near the Tompkins Street Bridge, is on track for September and expected to take four months, according to records from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
New York State Electric & Gas Corp., the current property owner, is paying for the cleanup, which is overseen by the DEC.
The work is the latest phase of a 20-year effort to rid the site of a range of legacy pollution from gas production using coal tar between 1888 and 1952.
