The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Monday that it’s moving forward with a proposal to clean up a polluted mill site in Windham that has been awaiting remediation for over 20 years. The EPA is estimating it will take two to four years and $17 million to demolish the building at the Keddy Mill complex and clean up the soil and debris contaminated with potentially toxic materials such as PCBs. The site has been home to a variety of mills for grist, pulp, box-board manufacturing and steel production from the mid 1700s through 1997.
