Health Assessment for Wasatch Chemical (Lot 6), Salt Lake City, Utah, Region 8. CERCLIS No. UTd000716399. Preliminary report
The Wasatch Chemical (Lot 6) Site is on the National Priorities List. The site is a former chemical processing and packaging plant. It is located in a heavily industrialized area. To date, identified contaminants of concern on the site include aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, pentachlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and 2,4,5-TP in soil. Potential environmental pathways include contaminated ground water, surface water, sediment, air, soil, and consumable plants and animals. Potential human exposure pathways include ingestion of contaminated ground water, surface water, or sediment, or of plants or animals which have accumulated contaminants from the site; contaminated off-site soil (if present) ingestion by children; inhalation of contaminants volatilized from the site, or of contaminants carried in re-entrained dust; and dermal contact with contaminated ground water, surface water, sediment, or soil. 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 the above-named human exposure pathways.
