Technical Report · Tue Dec 06 00:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:5253496

The Rose Township/Demode Road National Priorities List site is located in the northwest corner of Oakland County, Michigan. The 110-acre site was once used for the disposal of paint sludges and other wastes on surface soils, in buried drums, and in lagoons. Although cleanup activities have occurred, contamination of soil and water with metals, PCBs, volatile organics, ketones, phthalate esters, and pesticides still exists. Sampling was inadequate to evaluate the public health implications from exposure to off-site contaminants. On-site ground water should not be used for any domestic purposes. Frequent or prolonged contact with contaminated on-site soil may also pose a public health threat. Future migration of contaminants is a possibility and should be prevented. Care should be taken to prevent human exposure to fugitive dust and vapors associated with future cleanup operations.
