Health assessment for Coakley Landfill, North Hampton, New Hampshire, Region 1. CERCLIS No. NHD064424153. Final report
The Coakley Landfill, which is located near North Hampton, New Hampshire, was in operation from early 1972 until 1985. Waste materials disposed at the landfill included municipal wastes, industrial wastes, sewage sludge, and incinerator residue from the Incinerator Recovery Plant at the Pease Air Force Base. Several small businesses, cluster homes, and single family residences are located near the site. In 1983, several private, potable water wells near the site were found to be contaminated with volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). The concentrations of VOCs detected in private wells have generally been below a level that would be expected to cause adverse health effects. However, in some wells, benzene concentrations in excess of acceptable drinking water concentrations were detected. VOC contamination has been detected in ground water, leachate, and ambient air from the landfill and sediment samples from some nearby streams. The concentrations of VOCs detected in these media would not be expected to have a significant impact on public health. VOCs detected included: Arsenic, Benzene, Chromium, Chloroethane, Tetrahydrofuran, Lead, Methyl ethyl ketone, 1,1-Dichloroethane, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Toluene, Benzene, Ethyl benzene, Xylenes, Methyl ethyl ketone, Methyl isobutyl ketone, Diethyl ether, Acetone, Phenanthrene, Benzo(a)pyrene, TCE, and Trichloromethane.
