What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0036822 — Commercial Property, tier classified (active), status TIERII · MassDEP file
- RTN 3-0036822 — Commercial Property, activity and use limitation, status TIERII, class PA, AUL recorded August 15, 2025 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 3 active tier-classified 21E sites and 7 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Boston.
What this means
- 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.
