Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5156034
The FMC Corporation Agricultural Chemical Group (FMC) Fresno plant has been proposed for the National Priorities List. FMC uses the plant to formulate pesticide products. Surface soil, subsurface soil, and ground water were sampled on- and off-site. No air sampling has been conducted. The soil samples identified several areas of contamination. Ground water samples show site related contaminants in the two upper water bearing zones of the Older Alluium Aquifer. The following contaminants are of public concern in the surface soil, subsurface soil, and groundwater: Toxaphene, DDD, DDT, DDE, BHC-beta, lindane, aldrin, endosulfan I, dieldrin, endosulfan II, methoxychlor, nitrate, 1,2-dichloropropane, pentachlorophenol, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, benefin, dibromochloropropane, casoron, and ethylene dibromide. The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation of fugitive dust, ingestion of fugitive dust, soil, and ground water, and direct dermal contact with soil and ground water.
