Health assessment for Jibboom Junkyard, Sacramento, California, Region 9. CERCLIS No. CAD980737613. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5050926
The Jibboom Junkyard site is located in downtown Sacramento, California, near the historic district. The site is on the National Priorities List. The Associated Iron and Metal Company, now defunct, operated a metal salvage yard on the 9-acre site between 1951 and 1965. The majority of the site is covered by Interstate 5 and the relocated Jibboom Street. The soils on the remaining uncovered area, approximately 2.3 acres adjacent to the Sacramento River, are contaminated with lead, copper, and zinc. The site is of potential health concern because of the potential for exposure to lead at concentrations of health concern. The Record of Decision concerns only the soil contamination on the uncovered section of the site. There was no on-site ground water or surface-water data available.
