Public health assessment for American Crossarm and Conduit Company, Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington, Region 10. Cerclis No. WAD057311094. Final report
American Crossarm and Conduit (ACC), was until 1983 an active wood treatment plant on sixteen acres of land in the city of Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington. In 1986, ACC was inundated by flood waters which carried contaminants off-site. At least 10,000 gallons of wood treatment product, pentachlorophenol (PCP) in diesel solution, was lost during that flood. Today, ACC remains a public health hazard because of physical hazards and penachlorophenol (PCP), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated dioxins/furans (dioxin) contamination. Flood waters have been the primary force to move hazardous substances off-site. On-site contaminated soil and groundwater remain a public health threat, now and in the future. PCP and PAHs are the primary contaminants identified in groundwater. To date, no off-site contaminated groundwater associated with ACC has been found.
