Health assessment for the 29th and Mead ground-water site, Wichita, Kansas, Region 7. CERCLIS No. KSD007241656. Preliminary report
The 29th and Mead Ground-water site, Sedgewick County, Wichita, Kansas, has been proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion on the National Priorities List. The 29th and Mead Ground-water site encompasses a number of past and present industrial operations (oil refining and metal founding) within the city limits of Wichita. Ground water, surface soil, and sediment have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Based upon information reviewed, ATSDR has concluded that the site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health resulting from potential ingestion of ground water contaminated with hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse human health effects. As noted in the Human Exposure Pathways Section below, human exposure to VOCs, heavy metals, and PAHs may occur via contaminated ground water. Recommendations are presented concerning additional sampling and a well survey to identify ground-water users.
