Military Toxins
SAPL monitors cleanup efforts at almost two dozen toxic-waste sites,
several of them Superfund areas, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
in Maine. SAPL has taken on an oversight role on the shipyard cleanup.
Our technical staff and volunteers review proposals for short-term
mitigation and long-term cleanup, alerting the general public to
potential health and safety issues.
