Technical Report · Thu May 19 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:5192626

The Schmalz site is an abandoned dump on approximately eight acres in a semi-urban area in Harrison, Wisconsin. Contaminants of particular concern include metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. The property has about 60 residences and businesses within 1000 feet; the site is about 500 feet from Lake Winnebago, a source of public water supply. All facilities in the area are provided with public water, but many residential wells still are used. Limited use of ground water as a source of domestic potable water supply is reported. All except the most highly contaminated portion of the site is readily accessible. Contaminated ground water is unsuitable for drinking on-site and extends some distance off-site. Contaminant levels in soil, surface water, and sediments on-site are of concern to public health. Contaminants in sediment in off-site ditches also are of concern to public health. Public access to the site should be restricted unless, or until, significant on-site pathways are mitigated. No follow-up health study is indicated at this time.
