Health assessment for South Municipal Water Supply Well, Hillsborough County, Peterborough, New Hampshire, Region 1. CERCLIS No. NHD980671069. Preliminary report

Technical Report · Tue Apr 11 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7106328

The South Municipal Water Supply Well Site is on the National Priorities List (NPL). In 1982, use of the 70 foot deep gravel-packed well was curtailed when more than 100 ppb total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected in the well. Volatile organics compounds (VOCs) have been the only hazardous chemicals identified in South Well. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via the consumption of contaminated groundwater and the ingestion of fish potentially contaminated with PCBs found in sediments.
