A piece of lead-contaminated Watertown land on Greenough Boulevard near
Arsenal Street and Memorial Drive has sparked another fiery controversy
in town. 

The state has put a halt on the acceptance of the parcel from the
federal government until further cleanup is performed. 

The site was once a dumping ground for the Army and its depleted uranium
scraps when it was a part of the formal Watertown Arsenal. 

The parcel was discussed at a Restoration Advisory Board meeting Tuesday
evening with representatives from the state Department of Conservation
and Recreation and the federal government?s General Services
Administration in attendance.
