TIBBETTS RD.

The Tibbetts Road Site occupies approximately 2 acres. The Site was used for storing drums collected from 1944 to 1958. Many of the drums were leaking and rusted and contained thinners, solvents, antifreeze, kerosene, motor and transmission oil, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), grease, and brake fluid. The EPA removed all the deteriorating drums and surface contamination in 1984. Groundwater remedial actions commenced in 1995 and transitioned to Monitored Natural Attenuation ("MNA") in 1998. In 1998 the Site was graded and re-planted with poplar trees to assist in the MNA remedy. The area surrounding the Site is served by a water supply system created to serve nearby residents whose wells were impacted by groundwater contamination originating from the Site. That system currently serves approximately 80 homes. The surrounding community relies on groundwater for drinking water.
