Restoration Activities
Case: Island End River, MA
The Trustees and Responsible Parties (RPs) reached a cooperative natural
resource damage settlement whereby the RPs have agreed to provide $300,000 for
Trustee assessment costs and restoration. The Trustees will direct the
restoration funds towards the completion of additional salt marsh restoration
adjacent to Oak Island in Revere, Massachusetts, to take advantage of an
on-going mitigation project in the same area.
In 2007, under a voluntary agreement with the State of Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Protection, the responsible parties replaced 1.81 acres
of the Island End River adjacent to the facility with a Confined Disposal
Facility - a shoreline structure for containment of dredged material - that was
filled with contaminated river sediment from the 4.2 acre area that was
dredged. A compensatory mitigation project for the remediation related impacts
has been completed. The project restored 4 acres of salt marsh and mud flat at
the Oak Island site in nearby Revere, Massachusetts.
