EPA Completes Review of 23 Site Cleanups in New England

BOSTON - EPA has completed its review of site cleanups at 23 Superfund Sites, including 4 Federal Facilities, across New England by performing required Five-Year Reviews of each site.

EPA conducts evaluations every five years on previously-completed clean up and remediation work performed at sites listed on the "National Priorities List" (aka Superfund sites) to determine whether the implemented remedies at the sites continue to be protective of human health and the environment. Further, five year review evaluations identify any deficiencies to the previous work and, if called for, recommend action(s) necessary to address them.

The Superfund Sites where EPA has completed Five Year Reviews in 2015 are below. Please note, the Web link provided after each site provides detailed information on site status and past assessment and cleanup activity as well as the Five-Year Review report. The web link also provides contact information for the EPA Project Manager and Community Involvement Coordinator at each site. Community members and local officials are invited to contact EPA with any comments or concerns about a Superfund Site or the conclusions in the recent Five Year Review.
