OSTI ID:6954401

The Fact Sheet profiles the McKin Company Site, a waste collection, transfer, and disposal facility in Gray, Maine, and that site's successful cleanup. The McKin site is hailed as one of the most successful Superfund cleanups in New England and the nation. The site has proven to be a landmark achievement in public and private cooperation since its discovery over ten years ago. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the State of Maine, local officials, and companies responsible for contributing to the contamination worked closely together to identify threats to the community and the surrounding area, remove hazardous liquids, and decontaminate 12,000 cubic yards of polluted soil. The residents of Gray, Maine can now rest assured that hazardous waste at the McKin site no longer threatens their community.
