The DOD/USN SB/AREA A LANDFILL #2 is an active National Priorities List site under EPA oversight with ID 110070605270. The primary contaminants involve unspecified hazardous substances typically associated with military and industrial waste disposal. Exposure pathways include the migration of contaminants through groundwater and the accidental ingestion of surface soil. These substances pose significant health risks, including potential neurological damage and increased cancer risk from long-term exposure. With the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London located just 0.17 miles away, the cumulative toxic load in the 06349 area is extreme. Residents should implement three defensive measures immediately. First, utilize certified multi-stage water filtration systems to treat all incoming tap water. Second, avoid all contact with sediments in local drainage areas or coastal inlets near the base. Third, use raised beds with imported soil for any home gardening to prevent heavy metal uptake in food. The EPA continues to monitor the cleanup status, but the proximity of the US Coast Guard Academy and Pfizer Waste Disposal Area indicates a high density of industrial plumes that require constant public vigilance to avoid accidental chemical ingestion.
