Contaminants
Charles George Landfill
The Charles George Landfill Superfund Site is an inactive,
60-acre landfill located in the Towns of Tyngsborough
and Dunstable, Massachusetts. Ground water and surface
water adjacent to the landfill were contaminated with
heavy metals such as arsenic, chromium and lead, and
volatile organic compounds. In a settlement with the
Responsible Parties, the Natural Resource Trustees recovered
$1.3 million to compensate for injuries to natural resources.
The Trustees released the Final Restoration Plan
and Environmental Assessment for the Site in October,
2002 (see below). Restoration actions include protection
of 130 acres of wildlife habitat adjacent to the Landfill
and anadromous fish restoration in the Concord River.
The Natural Resource Trustees working with the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service on this case include the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
