Nassau Route 203 contamination calls for EPA-source checking
A Nassau concern note flags the town's Route 203 contamination page and urges property readers to check official EPA updates before assuming conditions.

Nassau’s Route 203 contamination page is a place-specific caution, not a reason to panic. Nassau’s local record describes an EPA notice from April 3, 2019, about a Route 203 site believed to be related to Dewey Loeffel operations. The same local record says the site tested positive for significant contamination about 5.5 miles from the federal Dewey Loeffel Superfund Site.
EPA’s Superfund profile is the better place for current federal site contacts and project information. If you are buying, renting, financing, or doing work near the area, use the town page for local context and EPA for the federal record.
Do not turn one contamination page into a verdict about the whole town. Nassau has regular homes, roads, farms, and village routines too. The smart move is narrower.
Keep the address, parcel, source date, and any professional report together. Ask precise questions about the property at hand, and let the official records set the edges of the conversation.
That kind of record discipline fits Nassau, Rensselaer County, Route 203, EPA, and Dewey Loeffel better than hearsay ever will.
