Cleanup Plan
The Beede Site Group is implementing the EPA approved remedy for the Site in cooperation with EPA, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) and local officials. The cleanup consists of three overlapping phases, as well as long-term monitoring of groundwater, surface water and sediment. In addition, land use restrictions are being developed to protect future generations.

Groundwater at the Site is being treated by the management of migration groundwater remediation system, and includes a groundwater treatment plant, which treats approximately 130 gallons of contaminated groundwater per minute. The plant started full operation in the Spring of 2014.
