NEW YORK – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its plan for the Dorado Groundwater Contamination Superfund site to prevent people from being exposed to contamination from wells previously used to supply drinking water to local communities in the municipality of Dorado in Puerto Rico. While the public is not currently drinking water from these closed wells and the levels of contamination are naturally declining, EPA is taking steps to ensure that residents will not be exposed in the long-term and that the groundwater is closely monitored.
