86 TANNER ST

The Silresim Chemical Corporation Site is located at 86 Tanner Street and consists of the 4.5-acre Silresim property and soil and groundwater contamination that extends to other nearby properties. Starting in 1971, Silresim began reclaiming a variety of chemical wastes, waste oil, solvents, and sludges containing heavy metals. In 1977, Silresim declared bankruptcy and abandoned the property, leaving behind 30,000 decaying drums and several large storage tanks. The State began to clean up the Site in 1978. The Site is located in an industrial area approximately one mile south of the central business district of Lowell and several hundred feet from the nearest residential area. Approximately 10,000 people live within 1 mile, and an estimated 24,000 people live within 3 miles of the Site. Groundwater flows generally to the northwest towards River Meadow Brook, which drains into the Concord River and then into the Merrimack River.
