Title: Public health assessment for Kohler Company Landfill, Kohler, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Region 5. Cerclis No. WID006073225. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:26347

The Kohler Company Landfill is a 40-acre disposal site for the Kohler Company, a manufacturer of bathroom fixtures and small engines. Waste and groundwater in and under the site contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and high levels of various volatile organic compounds and metals. Sediments in the Sheboygan River and the adjacent floodplain contain PCBs for which there is a known upstream source associated with the Sheboygan River and Harbor Superfund site. Exposure to site-related compounds in groundwater at the Kohler Company Landfill poses an indeterminate future public health hazard. Contaminants in groundwater at the site exist at levels of health concern, but it is not clear whether people are likely to be exposed to contaminants in groundwater.
