Lawyer Sanders says US EPA to use in situ chemical oxidation at NH Superfund site.

EPA will begin a full-scale clean up of the remaining contaminated soil and groundwater at the Ottati and Goss/Great Lakes Container Corp. Superfund Site in Kingston, N.H. EPA will inject a chemical oxidant into the saturated subsurface to reduce the amount of organic contaminants.

In the best of all worlds, EPA hopes work will begin in late July 2008 and be completed before the end of Sept. 2008. Currently, additional injections of the oxidant are planned for the summers of 2009 and 2010.

The 58 acre site is a former steel drum recycling and reconditioning facility operated from the late 1950s until approximately 1980. For more information go to: Clean up of Ottati and Goss site (http://www.epa.gov/region1/superfund/sites/o&g)
