The Buells Greenhouses, Inc. site, identified by EPA ID 110071099798, is currently an active site on the National Priorities List. Regulatory records indicate that unspecified hazardous substances are present at this location. Exposure pathways primarily include groundwater contamination and soil vapor intrusion, which can transport pollutants into residential areas. Health risks associated with these hazardous materials vary but often include long-term respiratory issues, skin irritation, and potential neurological damage depending on the specific chemicals involved. To mitigate these risks, residents should implement three defensive measures. First, install a certified high-efficiency water filtration system if you rely on private wells. Second, maintain a professional radon and soil vapor barrier in your basement to prevent gas entry. Third, limit direct contact with outdoor soil and use raised beds for any home gardening projects. The EPA continues to monitor the site to determine the full extent of the cleanup required. There are eight similar hazardous locations within a ten-mile radius, including the Willington DOT Garage and the University of Connecticut Landfill, increasing the cumulative environmental burden on the Ashford community. Constant vigilance regarding local air and water quality reports is necessary for public safety.
