WINDHAM — State environmental responders, the State Police bomb squad and the FBI are working to dispose of chemicals left in a building by a resident who died, WFSB reported Wednesday.
DEEP spokesperson James Fowler told the station that the operation began last week and is expected to continue for several more days. Environmental responders are identifying nonexplosive chemicals and arranging proper disposal; the bomb squad is responsible for materials that could be explosive.
Fowler said DEEP sees no hazard to the public or environment. That assessment concerns this operation and is not a general safety clearance. The report does not identify the chemicals or announce completion.
