OSTI ID:5219125

The Kem-Pest (Kem-Pest Laboratories) site is on the National Priorities List. The 6.1-acre site is a former pesticide formulating plant which, during operations from 1965 to 1975, channeled waste water into a two-cell lagoon. Soil contaminants (in ppb) at the site are aldrin (3,500), chlordane (30,000), dieldrin (3,800), DDD (1,500), DDT (14,000), endrin (3,700), and heptachlor (64,000). On-site ground water contaminants (in ppb) are chlordane (830), endrin (200), aldrin (170), and heptachlor (1,400). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern due to the risk caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances via ground water, soils, sediments, and surface waters.
