Technical Report · Tue Mar 26 00:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:5477540

The Tansitor Electronics, Inc. site, located in Bennington, Bennington County, Vermont, has been proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion onto the National Priorities List (NPL). Most of the investigations into site contamination have been coordinated by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. Tansitor Electronics, Inc. operates an electronic capacitor manufacturing facility on a 36-acre parcel located along Route 9 and about 3 miles west of downtown Bennington, Bennington County, Vermont. The site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. There are no monitoring data or information indicating that appreciable human exposure to site-related contaminants is currently occurring. However, additional monitoring data or information is needed to evaluate the on-site and off-site ground water (shallow aquifer and bedrock aquifer), ambient air, sediment, surface soil, and surface water. The monitoring data or information may form the basis of future ATSDR evaluation of the undefined human exposure pathways and public health implications associated with these pathways. The site is not recommended for follow-up health activities at this time.
