linemaster switch corp.

29 PLAINE HILL ROAD

The 45-acre Linemaster Switch Corporation site has been used to manufacture electrical and pneumatic foot switches and wiring harnesses since 1952. Facility operations involve the use of trichloroethylene (TCE), paint, and thinners. Wastes are stored in barrels inside of sheds near the factory building. Due to the spread of contamination, the site boundary has been expanded to 92 acres, extending to Route 171 to the south, Plaine Hill Road to the west, and Route 169 to the north and east. Approximately 2,100 people live within 3 miles of the site and obtain drinking water from wells drawing on the contaminated groundwater. An on-site well supplies drinking water to the factory and its offices. The site is surrounded by the Town of Woodstock, a rural community of approximately 5,300 people.
