Health assessment for Koppers Company, Inc. , National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Texarkana, Texas, Region 6. CERCLIS No. TXD980623904. Final report
The Koppers Company, Inc. Site located in Texarkana, Texas is on the National Priorities List. The site is the former location of a wood treatment facility. The site is contaminated with numerous chemicals from the former wood treatment operations including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), phenolic compounds, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF). Previous remedial activity has included reseeding and the installation of sod in highly contaminated residential areas. The primary environmental pathways of potential concern are surface soils and ground water. Long-term exposures to contaminated soils in the residential area pose a potential health risk for ingestion and dermal absorption of soil contaminants. Ground water beneath the site is contaminated and would pose a potential health risk if used for potable purposes.
