Shallow soil samples (0-2 feet) show lead (<8-1460 parts per million (ppm)), cadmium (<3-1960 ppm), and chromium (<7-2340 ppm) contamination. Subsurface soil samples show lead (<11-36,400 ppm), cadmium (<1-676 ppm), and chromium (<1-667 ppm) contamination. Surface soil samples show no contamination of public health concern. Surface soil samples taken in on-site drainage ditches show cadmium (<3-1460 ppm) contamination. Groundwater samples show trichloroethylene (<0.0002-0.120 ppm), tetrachloroethylene (<0.0002-0.037 ppm), and lead (<0.01-0.13 ppm) contamination. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ingestion, inhalation, and direct dermal contact with soil and ground water.
