Public health assessment for West Kingston Town Dump/URI disposal area South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, Region 1. CERCLIS No. RID981063993 and University of Rhode Island (plains road) disposal area South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, Region 1. CERCLIS No. RID982542417. Final report
The West Kingston/URI Dump site in South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island consists of two adjacent, inactive disposal areas that are under separate ownership. The site was finalized for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List (Update 11) in October 1992. Results of limited sampling have identified a few contaminants of concern in environmental media on and off site--principally in groundwater, which is the source of potable private and public water supplies in the area. The geographic distribution of the water supply wells in which contaminants were detected suggests that more than one source of contaminants may be present in the area and that some of the contaminants may occur naturally in the groundwater.
