Regulatory Overview

The Coating Sciences, Inc. (Former) site, EPA ID 110071100576, remains on the active National Priorities List. Regulatory records indicate unspecified hazardous substances remain a concern for the surrounding community. Potential exposure pathways include the migration of contaminants through groundwater and soil vapor intrusion into nearby structures. These toxins can pose serious long-term health risks, including respiratory issues and increased cancer susceptibility if left unmitigated. There are four active sites within a five-mile radius of central Hartford, including the East Hartford Municipal Landfill and Jacobs Manufacturing Company. To reduce personal risk, residents should implement three defensive measures. First, install high-efficiency particulate air filters in home ventilation systems to capture airborne contaminants. Second, use certified carbon-activated water filtration systems to address potential groundwater seepage. Third, maintain professional radon and chemical vapor testing in basements to monitor for soil gas migration. Continuous monitoring by the EPA is necessary to ensure cleanup goals are met, but current status indicates persistent critical hazard levels for the 06155 area.
