beede waste oil

7 THROUGH 11 KELLEY ROAD

The Site was the location of several oil-related operations, including waste oil processing and re-sale, fuel oil sale, contaminated soil processing into cold-mix asphalt, anti-freeze recycling, and other related industries. These activities were reportedly conducted from the 1920's until operations ceased in August 1994. Properties in the surrounding residential neighborhood are served by individual water wells and septic systems. Kelley Brook, a tributary of the Little River, flows along the north and northeast edges of the site. The following materials were abandoned when operations ceased in 1994: approximately 100 large above-ground storage tanks containing hazardous and non-hazardous oil product; several large piles of soil containing varying levels of contamination; and about 800 drums of oil product, some containing hazardous materials, which were stored in an open, roofed area. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in the oil product of many tanks and drums, at concentrations generally less than 50 parts per million (ppm) but as high as 1,800 ppm.
