Technical Report · Thu May 07 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:5016162

The MOTCO National Priorities List (NPL) site is located in the City of LaMarque, Galveston County, Texas. The contaminants of concern consist of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (semi-VOCs). Evidence of heavy metal contamination was also noted. Areas of highest contaminant concentration are in the subsurface soil, on-site pits, and shallow ground water. Population exposure to the site is limited due to location; those most likely to be exposed are unprotected remedial workers and trespassers. Although these groups might be exposed by skin contact with, ingestion of, or inhalation of contaminated soil and pit waste, there is no evidence that exposures to site contaminants are occurring. Therefore, the site is currently classified as no public health hazard. The ATSDR Health Activities Recommendation Panel (HARP) and the Texas Department of Health (TDH) have evaluated the MOTCO site for appropriate follow-up with respect to health activities.
