Technical Report · Wed Jul 18 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6868456

The Rose Hill Regional Landfill site, South Kingstown, Rhode Island, was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Part of this approximately 70-acre site is owned by the town of South Kingstown and part is owned by a private citizen. The site consists of three separate, inactive disposal areas--a solid waste landfill, a bulky waste disposal area, and a sewage sludge landfill. Disposal operations began in 1967 and ceased in 1983. Ground water has been affected; and municipal water has been extended to most residents in the vicinity of the site. As noted in the Human Exposure Pathways Section, human exposure to heavy metals and VOCs may occur and may have occurred in the past via ingestion of contaminated ground water.
