Health assessment for Hunts Disposal Landfill, Caledonia, Wisconsin, Region 5. CERCLIS No. WID980511919. Preliminary report
Hunts Disposal Landfill (HDL) is listed on the National Priorities List. The site is located approximately eight miles north of Racine, Wisconsin in a sparsely populated agricultural area of Racine County. Results from the ground-water samples included the following chemicals and concentrations: arsenic (20 ppb), barium (407 ppb), calcium (898,000 ppb), chromium (64 ppb), cobalt (33 ppb), iron (66,600 ppb), lead (37 ppb), magnesium (417,000 ppb), manganese (3,330 ppb), nickel (77 ppb), potassium (10,700 ppb), sodium (13,600 ppb), and vanadium (99 ppb). One of the surface-water samples contained the following chemicals and concentrations: barium (216 ppb), calcium (131,000 ppb), chromium (25 ppb), cobalt (8.4 ppb), iron (26,500 ppb), magnesium (61,000 ppb), manganese (1,940 ppb), nickel (24 ppb) and vanadium (39 ppb). Results from two of the four soil samples included the following chemicals and concentrations: cadmium (14 ppm), 1,1-dichloroethane (57 ppb), nickel (64 ppm), tin (87 ppm) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (10 ppb). Based on the available information, the site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ground-water, surface water, soil, air, and potentially contaminated game animals.
