mottolo pig farm

BLUEBERRY HILL RD

The 50-acre Mottolo Pig Farm Superfund site is an abandoned pig farm located on an undeveloped wooded lot within the Town of Raymond, NH. From 1975 to 1979, the owner of the Mottolo property disposed of chemical manufacturing wastes from two companies in a 1/4-acre fill area adjacent to the piggery buildings. During this 4-year period, over 1,600 drums and pails of wastes, including organic compounds such as toluene, xylene, and methyl ethyl ketone, were disposed of at the site. Studies by the State of New Hampshire showed that groundwater beneath the site was contaminated and that contaminants were seeping into a brook on the Mottolo property that eventually empties into the Exeter River. The Exeter River is a drinking water supply for the nearby communities of Exeter, Hampton, and Stratham. An estimated 1,600 people depend on groundwater within three miles of the site as a source of drinking water. There are approximately 200 single family residences located within one mile of the site, with the nearest residence located approximately 600 feet to the west of the former disposal area. Residential areas border the site property on all sides, as of 2010.
