Technical Report · Fri Oct 28 04:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:5230673

In March of 1973, approximately 850 cubic yards of soil contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was removed from the Bubbling Springs Horse Arena and was used as fill for erosion control on the Minker property. Since TCDD levels as high as 301 ppb were found in the fill soils and transport of TCDD contaminated soil particles has been documented from the fill area through yards of neighboring homes and downstream in Romaine Creek, CDC issued a Public Health Advisory on March 17, 1983. Because of the documented migration of hazardous substances offsite and the immediate threat to public health, an Initial Remedial Measure can be implemented to provide immediate mitigation of the hazard.
