A CERCLA Petition and Clean Water Act Citizen Suit Notice regarding the South Bay, Fort Point Channel, Roxbury Creek, and Dorchester Brook in Boston, Massachusetts.

COVER LETTER: PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT under the CERCLA § 105(d), 42 U.S.C. § 9605(d), and, NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE A CITIZEN SUIT under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1365, and under the CERCLA, 42 U.S. Code § 9659 regarding: THE SOUTH BAY in BOSTON, MA. February 13 2026, To: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Army Corps, and the Defendants (the City of Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Boston University Medical School & Boston Medical Center, Harvard University Medical School, Proctor-Gamble-Gillette, et al). This is a Petition under the CERCLA for a mandatory preliminary assessment for placement of the South Bay on the National Priorities List. This is also a sixty-day notice (extended to one year) for a citizen enforcement action under the CERCLA and the Clean Water Act’s Citizen Suit provisions. I was severely injured at the South Bay between Sept. 2023 and Jan. 2026, due to the Defendants violations of the federal environmental laws and their maintenance of ongoing hazards to the environment and human health. This Petition/Notice attempts to capture the seemingly endless violations and pollution at this Site including industrial solvents, PCBs, PAHs, lead, arsenic, radionuclides, bacteria, medical waste, eutrophication and toxic gases, landfill leachate, infectious diseases and pathogens, geologic hazards, and the incomplete abandonment of the nation’s most notorious 200yr+ old cesspool. Unless a complete pre-assessment is completed within one year, and action is taken to list the site as an NPL Site and start the remediation process, then I intend to file a Citizen Suit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts under the CERCLA and the Clean Water Act.
