Access Point(s): Not documented for this site.
Public Use: Boat Ramp
Impacts: Reportedly, municipal-type waste, including construction debris, rubble, preservatives, paint thinners, degreasers, PCBs, asbestos, ash, sewerage sludge, 55-gallon drums, used mineral grit, and fuel oil were placed in the landfill.
Project Size: 2 acres
Area Benefited: Not documented for this site.
Restoration Description: The wetland restoration project at Allen's Harbor was performed in December 1998 to compensate for wetland areas that were impacted or lost during the remedial construction activities associated with the Allen's Harbor Landfill project. The construction of the project included removing all of the Phragmites australis in the area, and lowering the elevation of the wetland to allow an increased volume of salt water to flood the area.
Restoration Date: 12/30/1998
Target Species: phragmites
Historic Conditions: The wetland was used as a U.S. Navy landfill between 1946 and 1972 for the disposal of waste material generated by the Naval Construction Battalion Center Davisville and Naval Air Station Quonset Point.
