Community Update (February 2022)Olin Chemical Superfund Site - Wilmington, Mass.

The EPA Olin Chemical Superfund Site webpage was recently updated with information on current site status, including ongoing fieldwork. EPA is continuing to oversee subsurface investigation activities in areas east, north, and west of the 51 Eames Street Olin property. The purpose of these studies is to confirm the depth and shape of the bedrock surface to improve the efficiency of remediation within the aquifer. Additionally, EPA is in negotiations with the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for the site, with the goal of reaching an agreement (a Consent Decree) to conduct or finance the cleanup actions selected in EPA’s March 2021 Record of Decision.
