Project overview

From the project Fact Sheet, November 2026

On May 1, 2026, Weaver’s Cove Industrial Park LLC (“WCIP”) the Project Proponent, submitted a Fill Management Plan application (“FMP”) to Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (“MassDEP”) for the next phase of site development (the “Project”) of 1 New Street (the “Property”) in Fall River. The Proponent is requesting approval from MassDEP to allow soil re-use in order to fill, cap and develop the vacant Property. This is WCIP’s summary of the Project and review process that MassDEP will follow.

Purpose: WCIP seeks to import suitable fill material to raise the grades at the Property to cap the site in order to prepare for future redevelopment, creating new jobs and adding to the Fall River tax base, while at the same time placing additional fill upon historic Shell operations.

MassDEP will review WCIP’s application and will evaluate the criteria governing what soils may be accepted by the Project and implementation by the Proponent after the Public Involvement Process has been completed.
