Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5148388
Resin Disposal is a National Priorities List (NPL) site located approximately one-half mile west of the town of West Elizabeth in Jefferson Borough, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The landfill waste is chemically and physically heterogeneous but generally contains elevated concentrations of benzene, styrene, naphthalene and lead. Approximately 85,000 tons of waste were deposited in the landfill. Site soils, groundwater, surface water, sediment and seeps are contaminated with volatile organic compounds and other chemicals. The Resin Disposal site currently represents an indeterminate public health hazard since comprehensive data are not available for all environmental media to which humans may be exposed.
