Located in a densely-populated section of this urban city, construction of the new Taunton Trial Court required intensive collaboration between DOC, project team members, adjacent businesses, and the existing court, which was fully operational throughout construction.

Boston Harbor Clean-up
Boston, Massachusetts

In 1988, New England Fertilizer Company (NEFCO) was assigned one of the country’s largest-ever wastewater clean-up challenges: Boston Harbor. For more than 100 years, sewage sludge polluted the harbor, endangering wildlife and preventing recreational use. Using a unique biosolids drying process, NEFCO processed and reused more than 600,000 tons of biosolids, cleaning up the harbor and contributing to its overall transformation into what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calls a “great American jewel.”
