The Site is located in Troy, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. The Site is an approximately 10-acre inactive landfill, consisting of an estimated 2-acre drum burial area, and an estimated 8-acre inactive solid waste landfill. Historical information shows that from 1967 to 1978, Troy Mills Inc., used the 2-acre area as a landfill for the disposal of solid and liquid wastes generated at its off-site facility located in the Town of Troy, New Hampshire. The wastes were drummed in 55-gallon metal containers and consisted primarily of plasticizers including bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP); and Varsol, a petroleum-based solvent, also known as mineral spirits or Stoddard Solvent.
An estimated 3,886 people reside within 4 radial miles of the Site. Approximately, 3,111 are served by public or private drinking water supply wells. The nearest private drinking water supply well is presumed to be located within 0.5 radial miles of the Site. The nearest public drinking water supply well is located 2.8 miles southeast of the Site. Sensitive environments located within 4 radial miles include 2,173 acres of wetlands, a CWA-protected water body, and habitats for eight State-listed endangered or threatened species.
In September 2002, EPA conducted a Preliminary Assessment and Site Investigation Report (PA/SI) consisting of a geophysical survey, test pit excavation and sample collection activities. The PA/SI confirmed historical information that the 2-acre area of the Site contained approximately 6,000 to 10,000 55-gallon buried drums. Analytical results of the contents of the excavated drums revealed liquids/sludges, consisting of flammable substances, volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs) as well as inorganic contaminants. Analytical results of surficial and subsurface soil samples, as well as surface water samples collected immediately down gradient from the drum burial areas, confirmed visual observations that the buried drums were releasing the above mentioned substances.
Based on the conditions of the Site, EPA in a September 23, 2002, Closure Memorandum, determined that a time critical removal action under section 300.415 of the National Contingency Plan (NCP) was necessary and appropriate.

After drum contents are removed, the drums are shredded and staged. The drums are found four feet from the surface down to a depth of 12 feet. Drums contain sludge and liquids and a mixture of fabric and/or sludge. Liquids are segregated and containerized in the excavation and removed using a vacuum skid for transport to the drum staging/processing pad. Once liquids are removed the drums are transferred to the pad and processed through a drum shredder. The shredded drums and solid/sludge waste are solidified and staged in a designated part of the cell. The visibly contaminated soil surrounding the drums is excavated and staged. In addition any soil during the drum excavation activities that looks discolored is excavated and staged. EPA samples the staged soil, sludge and liquid waste streams for disposal characterization.
