Health assessment for Springfield Township Dump Site, Oakland County, Michigan, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MID980499966. Final report
The Springfield Township Dump NPL Site is located in Oakland County, approximately 35 miles northwest of Detroit, Michigan. A number of Hazardous Substance List (HSL) contaminants exist on-site including chlorinated aliphatics, benzene compounds, toluene, xylene, phthalate esters, polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs), dieldrin, lead, and chromium. Two on-site groundwater contaminants, trichloroethene and 1,1-dichloroethene were found at levels in excess of EPA's drinking-water MCLs. The highest levels of contaminants were found in on-site soils although contaminants were also detected in the site's ground water at much lower levels. The primary contaminant migration pathways include movement of contaminated groundwater, volatilization of contaminants, soil erosion and transport, and bioaccumulation. The most likely routes for human contaminant exposure are direct contact with contaminated soils and sludge, inhalation of fugitive dusts or vapors, or the ingestion of contaminated plants, animals, soil, or ground water.
