EPA Proposes Deleting the Army Materials Technology Laboratory Superfund 
Site from Superfund List

Release date: 09/25/2006

(Boston, Mass. – September 25, 2006) – The U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency proposed that the Army Materials Technology Laboratory Superfund 
Site, located in Watertown, MA, be deleted from the National Priorities 
List (NPL).

EPA determined that all appropriate response actions under Superfund law 
have been completed and are protective of human health and the 
environment. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection 
concurred with this determination on September 8, 2006. Institutional 
control inspections and five-year reviews will continue to occur and 
this deletion does not preclude future Superfund actions.

The public is invited to provide comment on the proposed deletion. The 
thirty day public comment period commenced September 22, 2006 and ends 
October 23, 2006.
