OSTI ID:5148430
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) placed the Forest Waste Disposal site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1983. Drummed industrial waste was deposited on the site in this period. In three separate actions, sludge and residue waste from a chemical fire, roofing materials contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and cattle feed contaminated with polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) were deposited on the site. Nine small lagoons on the site were also used for disposal of liquid industrial wastes. Investigation, found contamination with volatile organic chemicals and heavy metals in the soils on the site, in the groundwater beneath it, and in the sediment and water in the lagoons. The site poses an indeterminate public health hazard because, although there is no indication of exposure at levels of concern, uncertainty exists involving the large number of buried drums alleged to be on the site. In addition, there is an unknown potential for exposure to various organic chemicals present in the wastes, soil, and groundwater at the site.
