Technical Report · Thu Jul 28 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:5253968

The Monroe Auto Equipment Company site is listed on the National Priorities List. It is an active manufacturing facility, which involves electroplating, metal finishing, and waste oil reclamation. On-site ground water has been found to be contaminated with cadmium (100 ppb), trichloroethylene (20,000 ppb), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (37 ppb), 1,1-dichloroethylene (23 ppb), 1,1-dichloroethane (11 ppb), and 1,2-dichloroethylene (120 ppb). On-site has been found to be contaminated with trichloroethylene (25 ppm). In addition, air stripping on-site is placing 15 pounds of trichloroethylene per day into the ambient environment. The site is considered to be a potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances as a result of migration of contaminated ground water, and possibly VOCs in ambient air.
