Health assessment for MGM Brakes Company National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Cloverdale, California, Region 9. CERCLIS No. CAD000074120. Final report

Technical Report · Tue Feb 07 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:5155610

The MGM Brakes Company Site is on the National Priorities List. The on-site media is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), ethylene glycol, and various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Field investigations occurring during late 1986 resulted in the detection of trichloroethene (TCE), vinyl chloride, and other chlorinated organic compounds in ground water south and east of the facility. The potential environmental pathways are air, ground water, surface water, sediment, soils, and consumable plants and animals. The human exposure pathways of potential concern at the site include inhalation and ingestion of airborne contaminants, ingestion of contaminated ground water, direct contact with contaminated surface water, sediment, and soils, and the ingestion of contaminated consumable plants, fruits, livestock, or fish. On-site PCB soil concentrations pose a potential public health threat to employees of MGM Brakes Company through direct contact.
