Toxics in Massachusetts - A Town-by-Town Profile Ch 2

Hazardous Waste Sites Introduction Toxic waste sites across Massachusetts continue to threaten the health of communities and the safety of drinking water supplies. Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 21E, the state Superfund law, was originally enacted in 1983 (and amended several times since then) and created the waste site cleanup program. The regulations adopted to implement 21E are called the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP). Because DEP could not oversee cleanup of thousands of toxic sites at a fast enough pace, changes to the law in 1992 privatized the program, meaning that potentially responsible parties (those responsible for cleaning up contamination) hire licensed site professionals to oversee most cleanups with limited DEP oversight. This allows DEP to focus its resources on the most severe sites and on certain key stages of testing and cleanup. When a contaminated site is discovered, the responsible party has a year to clean it up. After a year if the site is not cleaned up, they are required to determine the site’s severity of pollution, called a tier designation. Sites are ranked according to how contaminated and hazardous they are, and designated Tier 1A, 1B, 1C, or 2. Citizens can have input into the tier designation by working with DEP and responsible parties. At any time after a waste site is discovered, citizens may request that the site adopt a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) to give the public information about the cleanup and input into the cleanup process. If anyone submits a petition with at least ten residents’ signatures, the responsible party must prepare a PIP that establishes the community involvement process for the remainder of the cleanup. Massachusetts also has a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) program to help communities or towns be involved in cleaning up polluted sites. In lean budget years, grants are often unavailable, but often communities can apply for funding once a site is tier-classified to support a variety of actions: to hire consultants to explain technical information and give expert analysis about the cleanup approach being taken, to make information about a site more accessible to the general public, or to produce newsletters or provide for other means of public education. Definition of hazardous waste in Massachusetts: Hazardous waste means a waste, or combination of wastes, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness or pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health, safety, public welfare or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, used or disposed of, or otherwise managed, however, not to include solid or dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or industrial discharges which are point sources subject to permits under section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1967 as amended, or source, special nuclear, or by product material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as further described in 310 CMR 30.000. State Superfund There are approximately 2,000 hazardous waste sites awaiting cleanup across the state of Massachusetts. As required under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, hazardous waste sites are classified into tiers based on a variety of factors. These include the site’s complexity, the type of contamination, and the potential for human or environmental exposure to the contaminants. Out of approximately 1,900 tier-classified sites in Massachusetts, 893 are Tier 1 sites, requiring direct Department of Environmental Protection oversight during site investigation, remediation and post-remediation monitoring. Within the Tier 1 category, there are 106 Tier 1A sites, which are the most complex or severe. Search for hazardous waste sites in your town. Federal Superfund The National Superfund Program grew out of citizen concern in the late 1970s regarding health and environmental effects of intensive or continuous chemical waste dumping practices across the nation. The concern led Congress to establish the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) in 1980 (commonly known as Superfund) to locate, investigate, and clean up the worst sites nationwide. These sites are discovered by various parties including citizens, state agencies, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional offices. Once discovered, sites are entered into the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS), EPA’s computerized inventory of potential hazardous substance release sites. EPA then evaluates the potential for a release of hazardous substances from the site. Archived sites: If site investigations and assessments conducted by EPA indicate that a CERCLIS site is safe, the site is deleted from CERCLIS and no further cleanup action is taken. These sites are called “archived” sites. Sites that contain hazardous waste below levels that capture EPA’s attention are referred to the states for cleanup. National Priorities List (NPL): Sites that pose a significant threat to human health and the environment are listed on the NPL and cleaned up by Potentially Responsible Parties, such as a polluting corporation, EPA, the state or tribe. The NPL is a list of the worst hazardous waste sites that have been identified by Superfund. These are the sites shown on the accompanying map. Toxic Map: National Priorities List Superfund Sites in Massachusetts A Superfund site is any land that has been contaminated by hazardous waste and is identified by the EPA as a candidate for cleanup because it poses a risk to health and/or the environment. National Priorities List sites are the most hazardous sites identified under Superfund by the EPA. NPL sites on the map are sites on the Final NPL list or are part of an NPL site.

Out of approximately 1,900 tier-classified sites in Massachusetts, 893 are Tier 1 sites, requiring direct Department of Environmental Protection oversight during site investigation, remediation and post-remediation monitoring. Within the Tier 1 category, there are 106 Tier 1A sites, which are the most complex or severe. Landfills in Massachusetts Introduction For most of this century, Massachusetts towns have operated dumps or landfills as centers for disposal of industrial as well as household waste. Most landfills were owned and operated by municipalities. They generally lacked liners and modern controls for leachate and gas produced as waste decomposes. Over time concern about waste management practices increased, following an increase in contamination of surface water, groundwater supply wells, and soils. Some of the contamination was linked to Massachusetts’s disposal and landfill sites. In response, there are now stricter controls on the disposal of industrial and household wastes, improved landfill design, construction and operation standards. In 1990, Massachusetts adopted its first Solid Waste Master Plan, a blueprint for managing solid waste that is generated, reused, recycled and disposed in the Commonwealth. Since then, efforts by citizens, businesses, and state and local government have led recycling rates that hover around 33 percent for municipal solid waste. Small, unlined “town dumps” dotting the state’s landscape were replaced with larger lined landfills, recycling centers, and large municipal solid waste incinerators. The new, larger landfill facilities still pose a threat to groundwater and their air emissions can pose a risk to human health, and incinerators pose an even greater risk through air emissions of substances like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury, particulate matter, dioxins, carbon monoxide, lead and other heavy metals. There are 25 active landfills in Massachusetts: 17 municipal solid waste landfills, 7 ash landfills, and 1 sludge landfill. The municipal solid waste landfills are located in Barre, Bourne, Chicopee, Dartmouth, Fall River, Granby, Hull, Middleborough, Nantucket, Northampton, South Hadley, Southbridge, Sturbridge, Taunton, Warren, Wayland, and Westminster. The ash landfills are located in Agawam, Carver, Haverhill, Peabody, Saugus, Shrewsbury, and Somerset. They are permitted to receive either incinerator ash or coal ash. The sludge landfill is located in Adams. Toxic Map: Active and Closed Landfills in Massachusetts The landfills on the accompanying map can be separated into two categories: Partially Capped or Uncapped Landfills There are 247 partially capped or uncapped landfills in Massachusetts. A number of these are active and others are inactive. Without a cap on the landfill, it is even more likely that surface areas surrounding the landfill will be contaminated and that leachate from the landfill will contaminated the groundwater. Landfill leachate contains toxic chemicals and is usually acidic, including hydrogen sulfide, methane and ammonia. Capped Landfills All of the 264 capped landfills in Massachusetts are closed. However landfill leachate may still contaminate groundwater beneath these sites. In some Massachusetts towns, former landfill sites have been converted into waste transfer stations. Waste transfer stations are facilities where municipal solid waste is unloaded from collection vehicles and briefly held while it is reloaded onto larger long-distance transport vehicles for shipment to landfills or other treatment or disposal facilities but have not been noted on this map. Trash transfer stations can threaten neighboring communities with the same nuisances as landfills, releasing odors, leaking toxic leachate, and attracting vermin.
