Contaminants: Lead · PAHs · PCBs · Petroleum Hydrocarbons · VOCs
Location: Berlin, Coos County
Narrative: Former facility that manufactured chlorine, caustic soda, hydrogen, and chloroform. The chlorine was used in a nearby paper mill. Process-related chemicals were disposed of on-site, resulting in contamination of ground water and soils on-site, and sediments of the adjacent Androscoggin River.
Contaminants: Dioxins · Furans · Lead · Mercury

Narrative: A 27-acre landfill that accepted municipal, industrial, and incinerator wastes. Affected media include soils, groundwater, and sediments.
Contaminants: Arsenic · Benzene · 2-Butanone · Chromium · 1,4-Dioxane · Lead · Phenol · Tetrahydrofuran · VOCs
Location: Farmington, Strafford County
Narrative: Former injection-molding and painting facility that produced automotive instrument panels and other products. Chemical releases resulted in groundwater contamination that forced a nearby municipal water supply well out of service.
Contaminants: Acetone · 2-Butanone · Isopropyl alcohol · Methylene chloride · Methyl isobutyl ketone · Tetrachloroethene · Trichloroethene · Xylenes
Location: Dover, Strafford County
Narrative: An inactive 50-acre landfill. The principal affected medium is groundwater.
Fletcher's Paint Works and Storage

Narrative: Various operators rinsed chemical drums and disposed of the rinse water in a dry well and later in lagoons. These activities contaminated soil, surface water, and groundwater.
.Contaminants: Metals · PCBs · VOCs
Location: Portsmouth, Newington, and Greenland, Rockingham County
Narrative: Chemical wastes generated by the U.S. Air Force contaminated soil, groundwater, surface water and sediment.
Contaminants: PAHs · Pesticides · Tetrachloroethene · Trichloroethene
Savage Municipal Water Supply Well
Location: Milford, Hillsborough County
Narrative: Four industrial plants west of the previously operational Savage Municipal Water Supply well released untreated process waters and wastes to the ground or to surface water.
Contaminants: Chromium · Heavy Metals · Lead · Nickel · Tetrachloroethene · 1,1,1-Trichloroethane · Trichloroethene · Vinyl Chloride · VOCs
Location: Somersworth, Strafford County
Narrative: A former sanitary landfill that accepted and sometimes burned municipal and industrial wastes, resulting in groundwater contamination.
Contaminants: Arsenic · Chromium · Lead · VOCs
South Municipal Water Supply Well
Location: Peterborough, Hillsborough County
Narrative: Solvent use and disposal at the nearby New Hampshire Ball Bearings facility resulted in groundwater contamination that reached a mnunicipal water supply well.
Contaminants: Benzene · Chloroform · PCBs · Toluene · VOCs
Location: Nashua, Hillsborough County
Narrative: A former sand pit in a rural residential area. Use as an illegal waste disposal operation led to soil and groundwater contamination.
Contaminants: Benzene · 2-Butanone · Chlorobenzene · Chloroform · 1,1-Dichloroethane · trans-1,2-Dichloroethene · Methylene Chloride · Methyl methacrylate · Phenols · Selenium · Toluene · 1,1,1-Trichloroethane · 1,1,2-Trichloroethane · Vinyl Chloride
