Tidewater Site Meeting Thursday, March 6 6:30 PM Frances Varieur Elementary School 486 Pleasant Street Pawtucket, RI Dear neighbors of the Tidewater Site,
Next Thursday (March 6th), National Grid will be hosting a meeting to share the results of recent testing that was done on the Tidewater Site (the property runs along Taft Avenue in Pawtucket, behind Thorton Avenue, the International Charter School, Blackstone Academy Charter School and Varieur Elementary School). The testing was done to explore whether there were any hazardous “volatile organic compounds” in the soil. These are chemicals that can travel through the soil and contaminate the air in neighboring buildings. Unfortunately, the tests found concentrations of these compounds at levels that exceed safety standards. Officials from Rhode Island’s Department of Environmental Management and the Environmental Protection Agency will be in attendance to talk about the next steps.
