BOSTON -- E.P.A. has completed its review of location cleanups at 22 Superfund Sites and three Federal Facilities across New England by conducting Five-Year Reviews of each site, as required under the Superfund statute.
E.P.A. conducts evaluations every 5 years on previously-completed clean up and remediation work performed at Superfund sites and Federal Facilities 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 the 2014 Fiscal Year (Oct. 1, 2013 -Sept. 30, 2014) are below. Please note, the Web link provided after each location provides detailed information on location status and past assessment and cleanup activity. 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.
