Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5229976

The National Industrial Environmental Service site is on the National Priorities List. The 80-acre site is located in Durley (Sedgwick County), Kansas. Preliminary on-site ground water sampling results have identified barium (1,100 ppb), hexavalent chromium (450 ppb), vinyl chloride (400 ppb), dichloroethane (DCA) (1,500 ppb), dichloroethylene (DCE) (3,100 ppb), tetrachloroethylene (3,100 ppb), trichloroethane (TCA) (1,700 ppb), benzene (510 ppb), and dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (370 ppb). Preliminary off-site surface-water sampling results have identified arsenic (40 ppb), hexavalent chromium (20 ppb), cyanide (10 ppb) vinyl chloride (77 ppb), DCA (72 ppb), DCE (94 ppb), and TCE (330 ppb). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances. Direct contact with and possible ingestion of contaminated surface water and sediment are the potential pathways for exposure.
