Why won MassDEP work on a site I am concerned about?
MassDEP frequently receives requests from concerned residents and neighbors to take a more active role in the assessment or clean up of a site of interest. Unfortunately, we do not have enough scientists and engineers available to honor many of these requests. We must prioritize cases, and assign our project managers to those sites that appear to present the greatest risk to public health and the environment. If you believe a site is posing an immediate and serious threat to your health, contact your regional MassDEP office. We will check out the situation to the degree needed to either (1) conclude that there does not appear to be an immediate or serious threat, or (2) take action or ensure that actions are taken by responsible parties to mitigate any immediate or serious threats. If MassDEP cannot assign a case manager to a site of interest, you can still become more involved in the process by taking advantage of the Public Involvement provisions of the state regulations.
