What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0034123 — No Location Aid, tier classified (active), status TIERI · MassDEP file
- RTN 3-0000624 — Trw Fasteners, activity and use limitation, status RAO, class A3, AUL recorded February 14, 1997 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 6 active tier-classified 21E sites and 32 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Cambridge.
What this means
- Assessed 1100% above the median apartments with more than eight units in Cambridge ($9,482,200, 208 parcels).
- 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.
