Technical Report · Wed Apr 04 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6626077

The Savage Municipal Well Site is listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL). The site consists of four industries within a half mile of the Savage Municipal Well. These industries have contributed to the contamination of groundwater, surface water and soils with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The four industries identified as potentially responsible parties are Hendrix Wire and Cable Company, Inc., Hitchiner Manufacturing, Inc., New England Steel Fabricators, Inc., and O.K. Tool Company, Inc. (defunct). The site lies immediately south of the Souhegan River. Three hydrogeological investigations of contaminated areas have been conducted to date, including the hydrogeological study conducted by the NH WSPCC. The other two studies were separate company-initiated investigations of O.K. Tool and Hitchiner Manufacturing properties. Data from these studies were incorporated in the NH WSPCC report. Based on the available information, the Savage Well Site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to public health caused by prior exposure and potential future exposure to hazardous substances via the consumption of contaminated groundwater; direct contact with contaminated soils, surface water, and sediment; inhalation of contaminated soil and air; and incidental ingestion of contaminated soil, surface water, and sediment.
