Completed Actions

Upon identifying the presence of asbestos contaminated soils at the Sargeant Avenue excavation site and in stockpiled soils on Broad Street, the City of Nashua worked quickly to prevent the potential release of contaminants from these sites.

The City of Nashua collected air and soil samples in the Broad Street area to determine if local residents were at health risk from exposure to asbestos-contaminated soils temporarily stored at this location.

Contaminated soils at Sargeant Avenue and Broad Street were disposed at an approved landfill site.

DHHS reviewed soil and air sampling data that was collected during the soil removal project. This evaluation indicated that local residents were not at risk from the excavated soils on Sargeant Avenue or the soil piles temporarily stored at Broad Street. No additional actions are warranted at this time.
