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

E.P.A. conducts evaluations every 5 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, 5 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 E.P.A. has completed 5 Year Reviews in 2015 are below. Please note, the Web link provided after each location provides detailed information on location status and past assessment and cleanup activity as well as the Five-Year Review report. The web link also provides contact information for the E.P.A. Plan Manager and Community Involvement Coordinator at each site. Community members and local officials are invited to contact E.P.A. with any comments or concerns about a Superfund Location or the conclusions in the recent 5 Year Review.
