Health assessment for Wayne Waste (Wayne Reclamation and Recycling Co. , Inc. ), Columbia City, Whitley County, Indiana, Region 5. CERCLIS No. IND048989479. Preliminary report
The Wayne Waste Oil site is listed on the National Priorities List. The approximately 18-acre site was used for the reclamation and recycling of waste oil and liquids since 1975. The environmental contamination on-site consists of bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (2,000 ppm), phenol (130 ppm), di-n-butylphthalate (730 ppm), naphthalene (160 ppm), n-nitrosodiphenylamine (0.4 ppm), arsenic (27 ppm), cadmium (35 ppm), copper (310 ppm), chromium (14,800 ppm), lead (619 ppm), nickel (41 ppm), zinc (74,800 ppm), and cyanides (273 ppm) in sludges; lead (252 ppm) in waste oil; and cadmium (3 ppm) and lead (3.5 ppm) in surface water. The environmental contamination off-site consists of arsenic (9 ppb), lead (5 ppb), manganese (132 ppb), phenol (2.6 ppb), and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (45 ppb) in municipal well water. Based on the available information, 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, surface water, soil, and sediment.
