Cleaning up a Superfund site involves much more than removing contaminated soil.
At the former Cornell-Dubilier Electronics facility in South Plainfield, decades of industrial activity contaminated buildings, groundwater, nearby properties and Bound Brook. The cleanup has required demolition, excavation, thermal treatment, groundwater extraction and years of monitoring.
This deep dive examines how Superfund sites are investigated, how cleanup methods are selected, who pays for the work and why protecting a community can take decades.
From grid upgrades to coastal protection, PFAS treatment, nuclear decommissioning, and a key rail disruption - this week shows how fast the region’s infrastructure landscape is changing.
Before water reaches a Philly faucet, it passes through a closely controlled sequence of settling, chemical treatment, filtration, disinfection and testing.
The city’s three treatment plants process more than 300 million gallons on an average day, drawing from the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers before sending finished water through approximately 3,100 miles of mains.

The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) is now operational, delivering clean hydropower from Hydro-Québec to New York City. The 339-mile transmission line can provide enough renewable electricity to meet up to 20% of the city's annual power needs while strengthening grid reliability during periods of peak demand.
Within just a few dozen miles, millions of passengers move through the state's airports every year, connecting the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan region to cities across the United...
