Technical Report · Wed May 09 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6700797

The Wrigley Charcoal Site (WCS) has been proposed for the National Priorities List (NPL) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). WCS is located in Wrigley, Hickman County, Tennessee, about 50 miles southwest of Nashville. Approximately 300 persons reside within a 1-mile radius of the site. About 4,250 persons are supplied with potable water from Mill Creek, located about 1 mile downstream of the site. From information reviewed, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has concluded that the site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that could result in adverse health effects. Human exposure to phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol (2,4-DMP), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene could occur via ingestion of, inhalation of, and dermal contact with surface water, sediments, soils, ground water, air, and food chain entities.
