E.P.A. will review location clean ups and remedies at 20 Superfund Sites and oversee reviews at four Federal Facilities across New England this year by doing scheduled Five-Year Reviews at each site.
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. will begin 5 Year Reviews in FY' 2015 (October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015) are below. Please note, the Web link provided after each location provides detailed information on the 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 current concerns about a Superfund Location or about the conclusions of the previous 5 Year Review.
