On May 3, 2023, EPA issued an access order under Section 104(e) of CERCLA to the owner of a vacant parcel of land that is part of the Raymark Industries, Inc. Superfund Site in Stratford, Connecticut. The soil on the property contains a significant amount of waste from the former Raymark plant and poses a risk to human health and the environment. The Region needs access to excavate the waste from the property and to conduct restoration. The Region worked diligently with the landowner, but the owner did not provide unconditional consent for access. The access order is necessary to ensure that EPA's cleanup can proceed.
