OSTI ID:5123021

The Old Inland Pit (Spokane Steep foundry) site is on the National Priorities List. The 10-acre site, which is part of a larger site shared by Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Company, is an old gravel mine which began receiving solid waste as fill in 1977. On-site contamination consists of the heavy metals: aluminum (9,470 ppm), arsenic (18 ppm), barium (778 ppm), cadmium (0.4 ppm), hexavalent chromium (40 ppm), trivalent chromium (1,900 ppm), lead (42 ppm), cobalt (4 ppm); and the organic solvents methylene chloride (2 ppm) and trichloroethylene (74 ppm). 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 ground water and airborne dust.
