underway in September, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The 46-acre property off Route 62 went on the agency's Superfund list in 
June 2001.

A public meeting will be held in Concord some time after Labor Day on 
the field work plan now being refined by a Connecticut firm, de maximis 
Inc., said Melissa Taylor, the EPA's remedial project manager charged 
with the Starmet property cleanup.

On Wednesday, EPA officials will review a work plan draft, Taylor said, 
with members of two Concord groups, the 2229 Main St. Committee and 
Citizens Research and Environmental Watch. The latter has a $50,000 
technical assistance grant from the EPA.

Also in September, the state Department of Environmental Protection is 
planning to solicit proposals for the removal of more than 3,700 barrels 
of depleted uranium that are now being stored in Starmet buildings. A 
contractor is likely to be selected in November, said department
