Park. These elevated lead concentrations posed an Imminent Hazard (IH) as defined in the MCP

which posed an IH on May 13, 2021 and initiated IRA activities. MassDEP-approved IRA activities
conducted to-date have included the installation of a temporary construction fence to restrict
access to the areas associated with lead contaminated soils. Additional IRA activities planned for
the Site include soil and groundwater sampling which will be coordinated through the City of
Salem. Copies of the RNF and IRA Plan are available via the MassDEP data portal at
https:lleeaunnne.erd.state.ma.usf portal#!/searchlwastesite and a copy of the RNF is
