Hi Mark,

The Town of Marshfield is pursuing potential upland disposal options for the upcoming dredging project in Green Harbor. I have attached the testing data from 2004 and 2008 (which was re-tested for PAHs and PCBs). I believe you reviewed this data years ago when the Dredge Disposal Area was being considered, and this material was considered suitable for that area.

We were hoping that you could give us some kind of idea regarding potential use of this material for daily cover, or possible beneficial re-use. Since most of the data is about 5 years old, the Town will be re-testing for most of the contaminants (metals).

I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks for your help.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Best,

Martha
