Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Short-Term Cleanups
Hazardous waste sites that do not require a long-term cleanup process are considered short-term cleanups (also referred to as "removal actions"). Although the cleanup process for these sites may not be as lengthy as for long-term cleanups, these sites may still affect the health and environment of those who live near the site. There are three categories of short-term cleanups: classic emergencies, time-critical actions, and non-time critical actions.
One specific type of short-term cleanup is the site of an oil spill. Refer to a list of New England Oil Spill sites.
