Technical Report

OSTI ID:5137994
The Joslyn Manufacturing and Supply Company site is listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the National Priorities List (NPL). Wood-preserving operations were conducted at the site from the 1920's until 1980. Process wastes containing creosote, pentachlorophenol (PCP), and copper/chromium/arsenic (CCA) were disposed in two on-site waste ponds. In addition, burial of wastes and at least two large spills of wood treating solutions also occurred during the history of site operations. Groundwater and soil at the site are contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and with pentachlorophenol (PCP). Polychlorinated dioxins and furans, common contaminants of PCP, have also been detected in soils and groundwater in the area of heaviest PCP contamination. Individuals working with contaminated soil on the site may be exposed to PAHs and PCP via dermal contact with contaminated soil, or via inhalation or ingestion of contaminated soil or dusts. Persons within a building on-site that houses equipment associated with the pump-out system could inhale contaminants volatilized from extracted groundwater or free product.
