Technical Report · Thu Jan 19 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:5220261

The HOD Landfill site is listed on the National Priorities List. The 80-acre site, of which 50 acres have been landfilled, operated as an industrial waste landfill from 1963-1983. The site presently is closed pending site expansion litigation. The environmental contamination on-site consists of cadmium (8 ppb), lead (6 ppb), zinc (1,860 ppb), manganese (230 ppb), 1,2-dichloroethylene (71 ppb), 1,1-dichloroethylene (7 ppb), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (4,100 ppb), and benzene (8 ppb) in groundwater. The environmental contamination off-site consists of chromium (12 ppb), thallium, manganese (25 ppb), and arsenic in ground water from residential and drinking water wells. 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 contaminated ground water. Until more is known about the potential and possible extent of contamination in surface soil, sediment, surface water, and air, these pathways should be considered to be of public health concern also.
