During Clean Harbor’s operation, the site has been used as a hazardous and non-hazardous waste storage and treatment facility. Clean Harbors subsequently withdrew the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B Application on August 27, 2001, after undergoing RCRA closure of the tank farm, and operated as a wastewater treatment facility regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA) until 2004. The site was later used as a service center for oil and hazardous material spill response activities and scheduled environmental services. Clean Harbors vacated the site in November 2010.
