Public health assessment for Rinchem Company Incorporated (a/k/a Old Rinchem Incorporated) Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, Region 6. CERCLIS Number NMD085267961: Final report
Rinchem Company, Inc. once operated a chemical distribution business on a 1/2- to 2/3-acre industrial site at 5001 Edith Boulevard NE in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Groundwater within the site is contamined with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as trichloroethene. The company that currently occupies this site uses city water. The unlikely migration of VOCs from contaminated subsurface soil into the on-site building was examined and the VOC concentrations of indoor air were found to be well below the concentration of concern. However, precaution is needed if soil excavation is performed at some hot spots identified from soil gas survey. Based on the information reviewed, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has concluded that the old Rinchem site at 5001 Edith Boulevard NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico, is an indeterminate public health hazard. This conclusion is based on the fluctuating, low levels of VOC in a few on-site monitoring wells in the past decade. There are also no adequate data for evaluating off-site contamination in groundwater.
