Technical Report · Wed May 11 00:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:5254295

The Stauffer Chemical site is proposed for listing on the National Priorities List. The site is situated on ten acres where 175,000 cubic feet of hazardous waste was buried in an unlined pile. In 1984, measurements made in the shallow aquifer underlying the site revealed the presence of arsenic (30-41,000 ppb), antimony (2-64 ppb), and selenium (32-740 ppb). 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 ground water and surface water.
