Technical Report · Wed Jul 31 00:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5230375

The Carrol and Dubies site is located in the Neversink River Valley, one mile northeast of the City of Port Jervis, New York. The site was listed in Update 7 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL). The site consists of five inactive lagoons which were used for disposal of septic tank wastes. Two of the lagoons received industrial wastes between 1971 and 1979. Two additional lagoons received septic tank wastes after 1979 until early 1989. Based on information reviewed, the site is judged to be an indeterminate public health hazard because the limited data do not indicate that humans are being exposed or have been exposed to levels of contamination that would be expected to cause adverse health effects. However, data or information are not available for all environmental media to which humans may be exposed. Human exposure to volatile organic compounds and metals may be occurring via direct consumption of contaminated groundwater. Limited data are available about the extent of groundwater contamination and about contamination in the sediments of the former lagoons. This site is not being considered for follow-up health activities at this time.
