The former McKin Company Superfund Site located in Gray has been removed from the National Priorities List by the Environmental Protection Agency, allowing the reuse and/or redevelopment of the land to move forward.
Some restrictions remain and the EPA and the town have implemented measures to continue remediation, including a 2002 ordinance that prohibits drawing groundwater within a designated area surrounding the site. There are also restrictions on 21 subdividable properties within the designated area.
