In 1996, the Department of Environmental <br /> Protection (DEP) notified Lexington that there was no record of an approved closure plan and <br /> mandated a site assessment to determine if the site was in compliance with the law. Despite <br /> capping measures undertaken prior to 1983, tests conducted in the past year indicate that the <br /> site may require remediation to augment the existing cap. The Town has contracted with a <br /> professional environmental services firm to conduct a Comprehensive Site Assessment in <br /> accordance with DEP regulations. This site assessment includes a host of environmental <br /> tests and will take nearly a year to complete. <br /> 18 <br />
