What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 3-0037025 — Building 2 - First Floor, tier classified (active), status TIERI · MassDEP file
- RTN 3-0012251 — Junction Of 2ND And 3RD Sts, activity and use limitation, status PSC, class PC, AUL recorded May 26, 2017 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 12 active tier-classified 21E sites and 18 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Boston.
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.
