Portsmouth Naval Shipyard may be contaminated with TCE (ME)
In an article about the questionable closure status of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the Portland Press Herald (ME) suggests that the shipyard may be contaminated with TCE.
The EPA's NPL site narrative confirms this possibility: For nearly 43 years (from 1945 to 1978), TCE was among the wastes that were dumped on the property over an area that ecompasses more than 1/4 of the entire NPL site.
