Technical Report · Wed Apr 19 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:5155578

The Firestone National Priorities List Site is located in Monterey County, about six miles southeast of Salinas, California. The site consists of a 43-acre former tire manufacturing plant on 256 acres of land. The site is now an industrial park containing warehouses. Firestone Tire and Rubber Company operated a tire manufacturing plant on the site from 1965 to 1980. Production chemicals were apparently spilled during the manufacturing process. Extensive ground water monitoring has been performed on-site and off-site. The ground water is monitored for the following contaminants: 1,1-dichloroethylene; 1,1-dichloroethane; 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA); 1,1,1-trichloroethane; trichloroethylene; tetrachloroethylene; benzene; toluene; ethylbenzene; and xylene. The site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by human exposure to hazardous substances at levels that may result in adverse health effects. Human exposure may currently be occurring and may have occurred in the past via ingestion of, inhalation of, and dermal contact with contaminated ground water, surface water, soils, air, and biota.
