Health assessment for Northernaire Plating Company National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Cadillac, Michigan, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MID020883609. Final report
The Northernaire Plating Company National Priorities List Site is located in the northwestern section of the city of Cadillac, Michigan approximately 1,500 feet from the Cadillac municipal well field. Past emergency actions have included the removal of drummed wastes, removal of part of the facility's sewer line, removal of equipment from the building, and steam-cleaning the building. Two ground water plumes containing elevated concentrations of chromium were identified. There is also widespread volatile organic chemical (VOC) contamination of ground water in the area. Because of hydrogeological considerations, it is believed that the chromium plumes will not significantly impact private or public potable wells in the area. However, the use of the VOC or metal-contaminated ground water for potable purposes could pose a significant health risk. On the Northernaire Site, elevated concentrations of chromium and cadmium were detected in surface soils and sediments. Inhalation exposure to dust or the ingestion of soil from these contaminated areas could pose a potential health risk.
