Public health assessment for South Macomb Disposal Authority No. 9, 9a, Macomb, Macomb County, Michigan, Region 5. Cerclis No. MID069826170. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:56408

The South Macomb Disposal Authority (SMDA) National Priorities List site is located in Macomb County, Michigan. During site operation, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) alleged that leachate created from waste deposited in portions of two of the three aquifers beneath the site had entered McBride Drain (a surface water body adjacent to the landfill) and overflowed into adjoining residential property. The leachate also migrated further into groundwater aquifers. The primary human exposure pathway of concern for this site is past and potential current and future exposure to contaminated groundwater via ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact. A small risk for future exposure to contaminated surface water via the dermal and inhalation routes exists.
