East Chop Light lead âsignificantlyâ above EPA standards
Coast Guard knew of soil contamination at tourist site since 2003.
Updated Feb 3
The U.S. Coast Guard is poised to conduct an environmental assessment of lead contamination at East Chop Light, a lighthouse long leased to the Marthaâs Vineyard Museum. A popular tourist attraction and wedding venue, the lighthouse and a small plot it sits on are surrounded by Telegraph Hill Park, public recreation property owned by the town of Oak Bluffs.Â
In 2019, the Coast Guard admitted prior testing revealed soil lead levels at the lighthouse were âabove the EPA standard,â but were unable to provide any analytical data. A museum officer and a town official both said they were unaware of soil lead at the lighthouse at the time. Marthaâs Museum executive director Heather Seger reaffirmed the museumâs position.
