RTN 4-0000688 — Goodyear Tire & Rubber, activity and use limitation, status TIERII, class A3, AUL recorded November 24, 1997 · MassDEP file

Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 1 active tier-classified 21E site and 3 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in New Bedford.

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.

Point at the centre of the assessor parcel — not a survey.
