I was at UNH today and noticed ballast has been dropped NORTH of the UNH Milk Bar/train Station. What's going on there?

Consignee was Craig Supply Company,that handled materials for commercial laundries and laundromats at least in N.H. and S. Maine with a fleet of trucks. Don't know when it went under,or when service stopped to it. Probably served by a local out of Dover or Lawrence/Lowell.I'm pretty sure the work being done north (east) of the station is related to a hazmat cleanup from this particular industry.
