What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0016884 — No Location Aid, tier classified (active), status TIER1D · MassDEP file
- RTN 3-0016884 — No Location Aid, activity and use limitation, status TIER1D, AUL recorded June 5, 1998 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 6 active tier-classified 21E sites and 9 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Somerville.
What this means
- The last deed was recorded for a nominal sum: a transfer between family members, into a trust or a similar non-market sale. It says nothing about the market value.
- An Activity and Use Limitation is a deed restriction: it limits how the land may be used (often no residential use or no digging) and passes to every buyer.
- A tier-classified site is a release still being cleaned up under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan; the MassDEP file shows the stage reached.
