Atlas Tack Working Group — October 8, 2026

The Fairhaven Atlas Tack Working Group met on October 8, 2026, to discuss ongoing efforts surrounding the remediation, demolition, and future use of the contaminated Atlas Tack Superfund site. The chair updated the group on a September 21 meeting with State Senator Mark Montigny, who toured the site and filed a pending $500,000 legislative earmark to assist with remediation and demolition efforts. The group also discussed an informational "comfort letter" being prepared by the EPA's Aaron Shaheen and Matt Audette following inquiries from a prospective private developer, noting that while the letter outlines property conditions and allowable use limitations, it does not absolve any party of legacy environmental liabilities.
