N.H. The presence of improperly stored oil and the hazardous contents of some drums, combined with the potential for a fire at the site, poses a safety hazard to nearby residents and responding fire fighters.
Trespassers regularly enter and vandalize buildings at the site.
In addition, Kelley Brook, a tributary of the Merrimack River, flows through the site. We're moving quickly on this one. An EPA cleanup crew will pump out and remove the contaminated oil and will test the contents of close to 800 drums on-site. The crew will remove any drums that contain hazardous chemicals. In addition, the crew will check the contents of an underground storage tank and will consolidate any non-hazardous drums that are currently stored at various locations across the site.
