Regulatory Overview

The Coating Sciences, Inc. (Former) site, EPA ID 110071100576, is currently an active National Priorities List location. Regulatory records indicate the presence of hazardous substances that pose risks through groundwater migration and soil vapor intrusion. Because this site is one of five major hazardous areas within five miles of central Hartford, the cumulative exposure risk is high. Primary health concerns involve chronic respiratory issues and potential developmental toxicity if industrial contaminants leach into local aquifers. To protect your household, follow these three defensive measures. First, install a high-efficiency particulate air filter in your ventilation system to capture migrating dust. Second, use certified carbon-block water filtration systems for all cooking and drinking needs to mitigate chemical ingestion. Third, maintain a shoe-free policy indoors to prevent tracking contaminated sediment from the 06104 ZIP code into your living space. Current status reports can be tracked through the EPA Superfund database. Ongoing monitoring at the Kaman Aerospace and East Hartford Municipal Landfill sites further complicates the local environmental profile. Residents should avoid disturbing soil in areas prone to runoff or historic industrial activity to minimize direct contact with legacy pollutants.
