tinkham garage

RTE 102

The Tinkham Garage site covers approximately 375 acres in Londonderry, NH. During 1978 and 1979, oil, oily wastes, washings from septic tank trucks, and other substances were discharged at the site. In 1978, residents complained of foam and odors in a small unnamed brook, which prompted an investigation. This investigation revealed that improper waste disposal had occurred. The State ordered the site owner to prevent further degradation of the surface water and groundwater in the area. In early 1983, drinking water wells at the Londonderry Green Apartment complex and several other private supply wells were closed due to contamination, and residents were provided access to a municipal water supply. A majority of the site includes wooded land and open fields; however, a Home Depot and Staples were constructed on the northeast corner of the property in 2003 followed by construction of a residential development (165 active senior housing units) over the center of the site. Currently, there are also approximately 400 people who reside within a condominium complex on the western boundary of the site, as well as several private, single family homes to the north. Surrounding the Site are private residential homes to the northeast and west and commercial properties along route 102 to the North.
