DPH fines Charlton company $46,400 for cleanup violations

A Charlton company has received a $46,400 fine for violating oil and hazardous materials cleanup regulations after reports that hazardous materials had been released at the former Charlton Woolen Mill.

Over the course of a few years, B&K Development Corp. failed to conduct an immediate response action to address historic groundwater contamination and to submit required documentation to the state, according to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. MassDEP also issued an order requiring the company to show that there is no significant risk from the reported release of metals and hydrocarbons at the site.

The company has to submit a status report to the state on any cleanup actions, or submit a report outlining the cleanup is complete and a permanent solution.
