Treatment System Building Completely Erected; 100% Remedial Design for Treatment System Approved by EPA 12DEC18
Posted on January 16th, 2019
To date, the Groundwater Treatment System building has been completely erected and minor interior work continues. During the coming weeks, it is anticipated that the electrical and plumbing services will be completed, finishing the construction phase of the building.
Concurrent with completion of the building, work has begun to install and assemble the treatment system. The system will be constructed as designed in the 100% Removal Design-Treatment System, approved by the EPA on December 12, 2018. This system will include a metals pre-treatment process prior to treating the groundwater through the Vanox™ Advanced Oxidation Process. This final step in the treatment process is a destructive technology, and it is anticipated that 1,4-dioxane will be treated to nearly non-detectable concentrations.
The Temporary Groundwater Treatment System continues operations. The Demonstration of Compliance Report through September 2018 can be found here.
Installation of the Treatment System is anticipated to last through February, 2019.

Site Meeting on Building and Groundwater NTCRAs
Posted on September 1st, 2016
On 31 AUG 2016, representatives from EPA, MassDEP and de maximis met with members of the 2229 Main Street Committee, CREW, and Green Acton, as well as representatives of the Town of Acton and Acton Water District to present an update on the Building and Groundwater Non-Time-Critical Removal Actions (NTCRAs).
The Groundwater NTCRA AOC became effective in July 2016. Between October 2015 and July 2016, significant further delineation of the extent of groundwater contamination was completed. The next steps under the Groundwater NTCRA will be installation of pumping and monitoring wells, hydraulic testing, and design and construction of an ex-situ groundwater treatment system.
