Sector 3: Fill in Quarry

Sector 3 lies practically in the middle of the site (yellow sector on the sector map) including an access road (Sector 6) leading to Route 105. It was formerly excavated as part of the quarry. This sector is approximately 6.32 acres in size. This section has now been filled with considerable amounts of fill consisting of various materials over the past 10 years, until it has become a feature which we refer as “the plateau”. It is bare and flat and with a steep slope of about 8-10 meters down towards what was the rail corridor, and is now known as the Voie Verte Chelsea. There are some invasive species in this fill including invasive phragmites and wild parsnip.
