Tetra Tech s Former National Fireworks Site Remediation Team Wins Company s 2020 Safety Achievement Award
In each instance, our team adapted to each new challenge and sought innovative solutions to meet our cleanup objectives and protect the health and safety of site personnel and the nearby community.
The National Fireworks project team has demonstrated success in project delivery with zero lost-time accidents since project inception more than three years ago, logging nearly 49,000 safe work hours through December 2020.
The Former National Fireworks Site consists of approximately 240 acres of surface water bodies, heavily wooded upland areas, and an industrial redevelopment area in Hanover, Massachusetts. Historical activities at the former facility included manufacture of munitions and pyrotechnics for the U.S. government, research and development of new munitions, and commercial manufacture of civilian fire
HANOVER An independent doctor hired by the town to review a state health study said the available data and information does not show an unusually high rate of brain cancer among residents who live near the former National Fireworks Co. site in Hanover.
Dr. Julie Goodman went before the board of selectmen virtually on Monday night to explain the findings of a review done by the state Department of Public Health regarding brain and other nervous system cancers among residents who live within 2 miles of the property, where a fireworks manufacturer and other companies dumped toxic chemicals for decades.
Goodman, an expert in toxicology and epidemiology, did not work on the study, but was hired by the town to review it and explain its findings.
