Therefore, the Department has identified them as confirmed disposal sites. The Department has also determined that these sites are either Priority or non-priority disposal sites (as defined by M.G.L. , C. 21E, Section 2) . A priority disposal site constitutes a substantial hazard to health, safety, public welfare, or the environment. M.G.L. , C. 21E, Section 3 (g) requires that for both priority and non-priority sites, if feasible, permanent solutions be implemented at each of these disposal sites. If a permanent solution is not yet feasible, then a temporary solution must be implemented, and a plan for achieving a permanent solution must be ... developed. Any temporary solutions on the site remain effective until a :permanent solution is effectuated. M.G.L. , C. 21E and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan provide several opportunities for public notice of and involvement in decisions regarding response actions at disposal sites, including: * The chief municipal official and Board of Health of the community in which the site is located will be provided with notices of the results of investigations, plans for remedial response, and field work involving the use of heavy construction equipment and/or protective clothing (3.10 CMR 40.202) . * Upon receipt 'of a petition from ten or more -residents of the municipality in which the disposal site is located, or a municipality .potentially affected by a disposal site, or upon the Department initiative ' a- plan for involving the public in decisions regarding response actio ns at the site will be prepared and presented at a public meeting. This plan will. be revised based on comments received, and will be implemented over L -2- For more information on the confirmed disposal sites referenced above please contact Ellie Grill o of the Southeast Regional Office (Telephone: 508/947-1231, x680) .

Regulations describing this program are contained in the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR 40.700) . For more information about the Technical Assistance Grant Program, please contact Sarah Weinstein, DEQE/Division of Hazardous Waste, Public Participation Branch, One Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 (Telephone: 617/292-5820) . **This disposal site has been reclassified due to a typographical error in a previous legal notice I -DRAFT Ellie Grillo (508) 947-1231 Tom Higgins (617) 292-5515 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 24, 1989 DEQE Classifies More HW Sites in Southeast Region Department of Environmental Quality Engineering(DEQE)Commissioner Daniel S. Greenbaum announced today that the agency has classified an additional 22 confirmed hazardous waste disposal sites in its Southeast Region,which includes Cape Cod and the islands. Site classifications are required by 1986 amendments to the state Superfund law and by the 1988 Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP),which spell out specific hazardous waste cleanup procedures. In its latest round of classifications, DEOE gave three sites"priority"designations. 19 were classified as"non-priority"sites(see attached). Other confirmed hazardous waste sites in the Southeast Region will be classified after further agency review. To date, DEQE has completed the classification process at 170 sites in the Southeast Region. 80 of those are priority sites. The other 90 are in the non-priority category. Priority sites pose greater potential health and environmental threats than non-priority sites and are the focus of DEQE's resources. Non-priority sites generally require smaller and simpler cleanups and may qualify for waivers from DEQE approvals, allowing quicker completion of work. When waivers are granted,the agency can elect to audit certain site cleanups upon completion. Massachusetts voters committed DEQE to an ambitious schedule for finding,assessing and cleaning up hazardous waste sites when they amended the state Superfund law. Under that statute and the MCP, the agency must provide for public notice of and involvement in site cleanup decisions. Chief elected officials and boards of health are notified whenever DEQE investigates a site, makes plans for remedial action or does any field work. In addition,ten or more residents of a community containing or potentially affected by a site can petition the agency for a public involvement plan. --END-- 'E
