Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 2 active tier-classified 21E sites and 17 sites with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Salem.

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.

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