The R. A. M. Chromium Corporation (Former) site, EPA ID 110009281589, remains active on the National Priorities List. Environmental monitoring focuses on the migration of hazardous substances through groundwater and soil vapor. While specific contaminants are listed as unspecified hazardous substances, chromium processing history typically involves heavy metals that pose severe risks to the respiratory and nervous systems. Exposure pathways include ingestion of contaminated well water and inhalation of airborne dust or vapors. To reduce your risk, follow these three defensive measures. First, install a high-quality water filtration system certified to remove heavy metals if you rely on a private well. Second, avoid disturbing the soil on or near historical industrial properties to prevent the spread of contaminated dust. Third, sign up for Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection alerts regarding local remediation progress. The Environmental Protection Agency continues to oversee cleanup efforts at this location and three other sites within a five-mile radius, including the Willington DOT Garage and Tolland Landfill. Continuous oversight is necessary because chemical plumes can shift over time, impacting residential areas. Residents should consult official EPA documentation for site-specific cleanup timelines and testing results.
