SECTION 2 – REGULATORY OVERVIEW
The Coating Sciences, Inc. (Former) site, EPA ID 110071100576, is an active site on the National Priorities List. Cleanup efforts involve managing unspecified hazardous substances from industrial processes. Primary exposure pathways include groundwater contamination and vapor intrusion into buildings. These chemicals can cause serious health issues including organ damage or developmental problems. Residents should consult the EPA site database for the latest remediation progress. To protect your household, implement three defensive measures. First, use a high-quality air purification system to remove indoor dust that may carry pollutants. Second, test your tap water for heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. Third, refrain from gardening in native soil without testing it for industrial residues first. There are 29 hazardous sites within ten miles, including Kaman Aerospace and the Knolis Atomic Power Laboratory. This high density of sites increases the cumulative risk of toxic exposure. Monitoring local environmental reports is necessary to track the movement of contaminants through the Farmington area.
