TRC, a consultant for Enbridge, has been facilitating the clean up process for contamination at the site of the compressor station, also known as the north parcel. Years ago, community members raised concerns with MassDEP about known oil and arsenic contamination on the north parcel. This complaint led to the opening of a PIP (public involvement plan) to begin addressing the issue. TRC has been overseeing the process since then. MassDEP has designated the north parcel as a toxic waste site.

The PIP program falls under MassDEP’s Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup (BWSC) department.

There have been a series of public meetings and written comment periods for community members to express the comments, questions, and concerns. Although it often feels like lip service, we do still think it’s important to submit comments, even if to just create a paper trail of documented concerns.

The next public meeting will be on Wednesday, September 15, from 7-9pm on Zoom. You can join the meeting using this link: https://trccompanies.zoom.us/j/91402654320 or by calling 1 929-436-2866 Webinar ID: 914 02654320.
