BOSTON (Feb. 12, 2025) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will conduct comprehensive reviews of completed cleanup work at ten National Priorities List (NPL) Superfund sites in Massachusetts this year.

Each individual site will undergo a legally required Five-Year Review to ensure that previous remediation efforts continue to protect public health and the environment. Upon completion of the Five-Year Review, the report will be available on each site's individual EPA site profile.

This year, EPA will conduct Five-Year Reviews for the sites listed below. The web links provided include detailed information on the status of each site, previous assessments and cleanup activities.

The Superfund program, a federal program established by Congress in 1980, investigates and cleans up the most complex, uncontrolled, or abandoned hazardous waste sites in the country and EPA endeavors to facilitate activities to return them to productive use. In total, there are 123 Superfund sites across New England.
