CERCLA Incident Category: Inactive Recycling Facility
1.1.2 Site Description
1.1.2.1 Location
See Initial Polrep.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
The presence of heavy metals, PCBs, asbestos and numerous drums and compressed gas cylinders presents potential threats to human health and the environment by exposures to impacted air, soil and water at and around the Site.
See Initial Polrep for additional information.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Primary contaminants of concern identified during the Site Assessment included: heavy metals (antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury), asbestos (chrysotile) and PCBs (Aroclor 1242 and 1254).
See Initial Polrep for additional information.

2.1.1 Narrative
The Time-Critical Removal Action at the New Lyme Metals Site is addressing the presence of heavy metals and PCBs in the soils by excavating and disposing of the impacted material off site. All asbestos containing materials, drums and compressed gas cylinders will also be removed and disposed of at an off site facility. Air monitoring and sampling is being conducted for the protection of the workers and the public. In addition, well samples have been collected to determine if any of the contaminants on Site have impacted the ground water.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
During the period of September 26, 2011 to September 30, 2011, U.S.EPA along with START and ERRS contractors continued removal activities at the Site, these activities included:
- Excavated non-hazardous soils from 11 grids (I-3, I-4, I-5, J-3, J-4, J-5, K-3, K-4, K-5, L-5, M-5)
- Transported 75 loads of non-hazardous soils to American Landfill for disposal
- Received 104 loads of backfill for restoration
- Began backfilling excavated areas
- Continued managing water by pumping out clean excavation to allow for site restoration
On September 8, 2011, a UST was discovered in Grid J-3 filled with approximately 1,000 gallons of a gasoline/water mixture. Samples were collected from the tank and surrounding soils and the tank was sealed and covered until disposal can be arranged.
Heavy rains resulted in high water the breaching of the berm built along the adjacent creek to prevent water from flooding the Site delaying restoration activities. Continued rain saturated site soils and backfill resulting in further delays. The berm was repaired and the excavation was pumped out and allowed to dry in order to continue restoration activities.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
U.S. EPA continues its efforts in identifying viable potentially responsible parties as well as identifying and locating additional locations where the operations took place. Currently, U.S. EPA has identified two possible locations where activities, similar to those at New Lyme Metals, may have taken place.
