Public health assessment for Dover Chemical Corporation, Dover, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, Region 5. Cerclis No. OHD004210563. Final report
The Dover Chemical Company site poses a public health hazard because of the possibility of past exposure to dioxin and BHC contaminated soil and dust and because of the potential for exposure to several chemicals in drinking water supplies. The available data do not indicate that people are currently being exposed to contaminated soil, dust, or water at levels that would adversely effect their health. People could be exposed to chemicals above levels of concern if ongoing remediation (pump and treating groundwater) and monitoring of the well field fails to detect chemicals entering the water supply. There is a potential for people eating fish caught in the lagoon and in Sugar Creek to be exposed to site-related chemicals, but the data are insufficient to determine the risk of exposure. There is also a potential for people to be exposed to dioxin by eating contaminated vegetables grown in gardens near the site. However, there are no environmental monitoring data to determine the risk of exposure.
