It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

Light Station was built in 1904. Use of lead-based paint on buildings has caused a release and high concentrations of lead in the soil. There is also some DRO-contaminated soil from a spill as well as use of fuel tanks and a pipeline. USCG has documented the presence of a small battery cache that needs to be removed before there is a release. Site is an excess property slated for transfer under the National Historic Lighthouse Protection Act.
