Public health assessment for Waite Park Wells, Waite Park, Stearns County Minnesota, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MND981002249. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5430773

The Waite Park Wells site, which is listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List (MPCA 1989a) is comprised of the former Burlington Northern St. Cloud Car Shops, the Waite Park municipal wells, and the Electric Machinery Manufacturing properties. In a few localized areas, shallow groundwater under the BNCS property was contaminated with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and low levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Surface and buried soil in localized areas also contained heavy metals, petroleum products, and PCBs. Sandblast sand containing paint chips, some relatively high in lead content, were previously present in several areas. Potentially affected media include groundwater, the Sauk River, surface and subsurface soil in localized areas, and ambient air.
