Crews have now removed more than 52,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and waste left across town by the defunct Raymark Industries, according to Jim DiLorenzo, an environmental engineer with the Environmental Protection Agency. The cleanup is aimed at removing contaminated soil that was polluted with cancer-causing agents such as asbestos, lead and polychlorinated biphenyls – commonly known as PCBs – by Raymark Industries, an automotive parts manufacturer that dumped waste across the town. DiLorenzo said the EPA is now preparing to begin removing about 12,000 cubic yards from the channel and banks of Ferry Creek, a badly polluted watercourse that runs behind Ferry Boulevard. The labor-intensive effort is scheduled to begin in April and is expected take at least nine months to complete. By the time the project is expected to end in late 2024, somewhere between 100,000 to 125,000 cubic yards of toxic soil will have been extracted and consolidated at the former Raybestos Memorial Field on Frog Pond Lane.
