Tasks were conducted in accordance with the Site Inspection guidance provided by the EPA and performed under the Multi-Site Cooperative Agreement. Background information used in the generation of this report was obtained through file searches conducted at MADEP, telephone interviews with town officials, conversations with persons knowledgeable of the Weymouth Neck Landfill site and conversations with other federal, state, and local agencies. Additional information was collected during the on-site reconnaissance on January 5, 1994. This package follows the guidelines developed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended, commonly referred to as Superfund. However, these documents do not necessarily fulfill the requirements of other EPA regulations such as those under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) or other Federal, State, or local regulations. Site Inspection Prioritizations are intended to provide a preliminary screening of sites to facilitate EPA's assignment of site priorities. They are limited efforts and are not intended to supersede more detailed investigations. SITE DESCRIPTION The Weymouth Neck Landfill property is located at 42°15'23.1" north latitude and 70°55'21.7" west longitude and consists of three lots of land (Lots 1,24 and 25) in Weymouth, Massachusetts [Ref.l,2,3](Figures 1 and 2). The property is situated on a sand spit at the confluence of the Weymouth Fore and Back Rivers and occupies a total of approximately 27 acres. Lots 24 and 25 are located north of River Street and Lot 1 is south of River Street [Ref.3]. Fertilizer was manufactured on the property from approximately 1861 until 1966. Ownership changed in 1968, and the buildings were demolished [Ref.4]. The property is bounded to the north by Webb State Park and the Weymouth Fore River; to the east by the Weymouth Back River; to south by the Weymouthport Condominium Complex and the Weymouth Back River; and to the west by private residences. No structures were observed on Lots 24 and 25. However, Mr. Iantosca (the owner) stated that without snow cover, old foundations from the Weymouthport Condominium models could be seen. 1 MA DEP of Waste tite Cleanup Preliminary Assessment Map 1 , 1/2, & 1/4 Mile Radii SITE NAME: ml!!i ..... ,.

  • WPA Form 3 - Instructions and Supporting Materials
    Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Resource Protection – Wetlands & Waterways Notice of Intent BRP WPA Form 3 - Instructions and Supporting Materials Instructions for Completing Application WPA Form 3 – Notice of Intent NOTICE: As of 3/1/05, the Department of Environmental Protection has a new Simplified Review Procedure for projects involving only work in the Buffer Zone Please review 310 CMR 10.02(2)(b)(2) for project eligibility. Please read these instructions before completing the Notice of Intent application form (WPA Form 3). These instructions cover certain items on the Notice of Intent form that are not self-explanatory. Purpose of the Notice of Intent (NOI) To protect the Commonwealth's wetland resources, the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (General Law Chapter 131, Section 40) prohibits the removal, dredging, filling, or altering of wetlands without a permit. To obtain a permit (called an Order of Conditions), a project proponent must submit an application to the Conservation Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection (the Department). The Notice of Intent application provides the Conservation Commission and the Department with a complete and accurate description of the: • Site: including the type and boundaries of resource areas under the Wetlands Protection Act, and • Proposed work: including all measures and designs proposed to meet the performance standards described in the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations, 310 Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) 10.00, for each applicable resource area. The applicant is responsible for providing the information required for the review of this application to the permit issuing authority (Conservation Commission or the Department). The submittal of a complete and accurate description of the site and project will minimize requests for additional information by the issuing authority that may result in an unnecessary delay in the issuance of an Order of Conditions.

Finding aid completed in February of 2014. Access: Open for research. Some materials have been placed in protective enclosures and should not be removed from them. Related Materials: The Bicentennial Collection contains town records that relate to the Lane family. The Lincoln Family Papers also contain genealogical information on the Lane family. Provenance These papers were originally created by various members of the Lane family from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries while they were living in Hingham and Boston. This is an artificial collection, having been collected and assembled by John Richardson in the mid-20th century. It was donated to the Hingham Public Library by John Richardson in 1976 and 1980 as part of the Bicentennial Collection. Biographical Note William Lane was born in western England during the early 17th century. In the 1630s he traveled across the Atlantic with his children, four daughters and two sons, having settled in Dorchester, Mass. by 1635. His two sons, George and Andrew Lane, were some of the first settlers of the town of Hingham, Mass., each drawing one of the first 30 lots of five acres of land distributed by Peter Hobart on September 18, 1635 on what became North Street. George Lane also obtained additional land over the years including ten acres on 'Nutty Hill.' He and his wife, Sarah, had nine children. He was a shoemaker by trade but also was one of the builders of the town's first Meeting House.

The plan will be used to guide local and state environmental efforts within the Boston Harbor Watersheds over the next five years. The plan expresses some of the overall goals of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, such as improving water quality, restoring natural flows to rivers, protecting and restoring biodiversity and habitats, improving public access and balanced resource use, improving local capacity, and promoting a shared responsibility for watershed protection and management. The Boston Harbor Watershed Action Plan was developed with input from the former Boston Harbor Watershed Team and multiple stakeholders including watershed groups, state and federal agencies, municipal officials, Regional Planning Agencies and, of course, the general public from across the Watershed. We appreciate the opportunity to engage such a wide group of expertise and experience as it allows the state to focus on the issues and challenges that might otherwise not be easily characterized.
