Technical Report · Fri Dec 02 04:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:5184077

The E.H. Schilling Landfill site is listed on the National Priorities List. The five-acre site was a landfill, licensed to accept only nonhazardous dry industrial waste, from 1971 until 1980 when it was closed. The environmental contamination on-site consists of polychlorinated biphenyls, vinyl toluene, cumene, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, including fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(a)anthracene, in soil. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ground water, soil, sediment, surface water, and air.
