An area approximately 50 feet by 100 feet is visibly affected, possibly as deep as 1 to 2 feet. Because local soil is sandy, contamination may have reached at least the shallow aquifer. Bankruptcy proceedings ended efforts by the State to have Bee Cee install a waste water treatment system. Another company now leases the former Bee Cee building. The City of Malden is believed to own the contaminated ground.
Initial funding is for planning activities.
The description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination.
