The US Environmental Protection Agency has finalized a plan with NRGY Development to clean up asbestos contamination at the former Goudey Power Station.

The company has been ordered to remove asbestos from the site and secure the 33-acre property located on the banks of the Susquehanna River.

The power station operated as a coal-fired plant from 1917 to 2011.

According to the EPA, since it closed, the property has been in a dangerous condition, releasing asbestos fibers into the environment and putting the public at risk.
