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. In addition to a careful evaluation of technical work at the sites, during the Five Year Review process EPA also provides the public with an opportunity to evaluate preliminary findings and to provide input on potential follow up activity that may be required following the review process. The Superfund sites at which EPA is performing Five Year Reviews over the following several months include the following sites.  Please note, the Web link provided after each site provides detailed information on site status and past assessment and cleanup activity.   Massachusetts Iron Horse Park, North Billerica http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/ironhorse Nyanza Chemical Waste Dump, Ashland http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/nyanza Re-Solve, Inc., North Dartmouth http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/resolve Sullivan’s Ledge, New Bedford http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/sullivansledge   Maine McKin Co., Gray http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/mckin Saco Tannery Waste Pits, Saco http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/sacotannery West Site/Howe’s Corner, Plymouth http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/hows   New Hampshire Kearsarge Metallurgical Corp., Conway http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/kearsarge Ottati & Goss, Kingston http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/o&g South Municipal Water Supply Well, Peterborough http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/southmuni Tinkham Garage, Londonderry http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/tinkham Town Garage/Radio Beacon, Londonderry http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/towngarage   Rhode Island Central Landfill, Johnston http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/central Picillo Farm, Coventry http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/picillo   Vermont Elizabeth Mine, Strafford http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/elizmine Old Springfield Landfill, Springfield http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/oldspringfield #  #  #   Learn More about the Latest EPA News & Events in New England (http://www.epa.gov/region1/newsevents/index.html) Follow EPA New England on Twitter (http://twitter.com/epanewengland) More info on EPA's Environmental Results in New England (http://www.epa.gov/region1/results/index.html)   You can unsubscribe or update your subscriptions or e-mail address at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
