Pentagon lowers cost projections for Joint Strike Fighter program despite GAO concerns

Officials at the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin Corp. said Tuesday that they expect cost overruns on the military's newest fighter jet to level off.

Dredging plans stir new fears.(Main)

ALBANY - Up to seven clamshell-type dredges will work 24 hours a day to remove PCBs from the Hudson River when the cleanup begins in the spring of 2007, according to a design report General Electric Co. released Tuesday.

The detailed report is the most comprehensive look yet at how the PCB-laden slurry will be dredged, processed and hauled away. About 26 barges filled with the muck will pass through Lock 7 on the Champlain Canal each day before heading to a 100-acre dewatering site just east of the village of Fort Edward.

Residents and elected officials along the upper Hudson reacted warily to the details of the massive dredging project - the largest environmental cleanup in U.S. history - slated to remove 2.65 million cubic yards of mud from the river.
