Health assessment for Bailey Dump National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Bridge City, Orange County, Texas, Region 6. CERCLIS No. TXD980864649. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5260906

Bailey Dump is a National Priorites List site located near Bridge City, Orange County, Texas. The site is contaminated with arsenic, chromium, lead, selenium, ethylbenzene, benzene, tetrachloroethene, tetrachloroethane, trichloroethene, styrene, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and possibly with bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate and n-nitrosodiphenylamine. Potential health threats posed by the site include ingestion of contaminated fish and shellfish, incidental ingestion of surface water, soil, surface material, and/or sediment by persons involved in on-site activities, and dermal exposure to contaminated on-site soil, surface material and/or sediment. There is no information to indicate that the potential exposure pathway poses a current public health threat, but the deeper (drinking water) aquifer has not been monitored. Four remedial alternatives have been proposed for the site which should adequately eliminate off-site migration of site contaminants and reduce exposure to on-site contaminants.
