Health assessment for McCarty's/Pacific Hide and Fur National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Pocatello, Idaho, Region 10. CERCLIS No. IDD098812878. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5151085
The McCarty's/Pacific Hide and Fur National Priorities List Site is located at the northwestern edge of the City of Pocatello, Idaho. Former commercial activity at the site included the salvaging of metals from electrical transformers. As a result of these operations, PCB-containing oils were spilled on surface soils. High concentrations of PCBs have been detected in both on-site and off-site soils. Low concentrations of PCBs were reportedly detected in water samples from several off-site private wells in a 1983 study. The site is of potential public health concern because human exposure to PCBs may occur via ingestion of contaminated soil or dermal absorption from contaminated soil.
