LOCATION
A public information session regarding contamination at Conway Park will be held on Wednesday, December 5th, at the Public Safety Building (Police Headquarters) at 220 Washington Street, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Weston & Sampson, the licensed site professionals in charge of soil testing, and City staff will be on hand to discuss the testing results and next steps as well as to answer questions. Representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) who have oversight over the testing and mitigation process will also be present to answer questions.
Background:
Soil testing conducted in preparation for the proposed renovation of Conway field revealed contamination in the soil requiring its closure. Samples taken at various locations and depths identified contamination including lead and PCBs, some of which exceeded regulatory limits. The Site is now managed under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan and is also regulated under both the MCP and EPA’s Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
