Public health assessment for east Multnomah County, ground water contamination, Gresham, Multnomah County, Oregon, region 10. Cerclis No. ORD987185030. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:104260
The proposed East Mulnomah County Groundwater Contamination National Priorities List (NPL) Site is east of Portland, Oregon. Numerous environmental investigations indicate that the groundwater within the proposed NPL site has been contaminated with various chlorinated organic solvents. Because of the complex hydrogeology within the proposed NPL site, it is not possible to determine precisely when each well became contaminated. Based on the available information, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) concludes that the proposed East Multnomah County Groundwater Contamination NPL Site is a public health hazard (past, current, and future). ATSDR representatives made this determination because one contaminated drinking water well has been and is being used by two households.
