State Awards Lee TAG Grant

BOSTON — The Healey-Driscoll Administration awarded Lee a $20,000 Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) grant to adress the Upland Disposal Facility. 
 
The Town of Lee will use its award to engage technical expertise to review and interpret information about the Upland Disposal Facility, an area permitted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the storage of contaminated sediments from the Housatonic River Superfund Site, to provide technical assistance to local officials and outreach to citizens. Contaminants of concern include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), potentially affecting the aquifer.
 
The governor announced $120,000 in  awards to six municipalities and community groups. The TAG Program, administered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), helps communities get involved in cleaning up waste disposal sites in their neighborhoods. The funding can be used to bring in experts, engage more residents, and offer educational resources for the public. 
 
"So many Massachusetts residents care about the environment and are interested in making sure their water and air are protected but get stymied by the complex technical information that informs assessment and remediation," said MassDEP Commissioner Bonnie Heiple. "These funds support local leaders and residents in gaining the knowledge and confidence to actively shape decisions about the cleanup of contamination in their own communities."
