Nyanza Textile Dye-Making Plant
Everything you need to
know
The Nyanza Chemical Waste Dump is located on Megunko Road in Ashland, Massachusetts. The site was formerly the location of the Nyanza Chemical Company which operated a dye manufacturing facility at the property from 1965 to 1978.
The site of the Nyanza Plant is located in the central section of Ashland in a largely residential area. Chemical sludges generated by the dye manufacturing process were disposed of on an area of high ground referred to as, "Megunko Hill".
In 1982, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency placed the Nyanza site on the National Priority List. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) restricted site access in 1982 by installing a partial fence. However, portions of the site were accessible to the public until the fence line was expanded in 1985.
