Health assessment for Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill, Oak Grove Township, Minnesota, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MND980904056. Final report
The Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill is in the northwest corner of Anoka County in east central Minnesota. Samples from the surficial sand aquifer under the site indicate extensive contamination with a wide variety of chemicals including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), organic compounds of low volatility, phthalate esters, phenols, acids, pesticides, and metals. Potential human exposure pathways include: the use of contaminated ground water; consumption of contaminated fish and wildlife; dermal contact with the lime sludge, contaminated soil; leachate seeps and contaminated on-site surface water; and inhalation of contaminated dusts and volatilized organic compounds. Because of large uncertainties in the draft Remedial Investigation, the extent of contamination or human health implications cannot be adequately or accurately assessed. Therefore, the site poses potential human health concerns by definition.
