Health assessment for Doepke-Holliday disposal site, Holliday, Johnson County, Kansas, Region 7. CERCLIS No. KSD980632301. Final report
The Doepke-Holliday site is an 80.3-acre inactive landfill area owned by Deffenbaugh Industries, Inc. The site, which was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1982, is located on the south bank of the Kansas River 0.75 miles east of Holliday, Kansas and 1 mile west of Lake Quivira. The Doepke-Holliday site operated as a municipal and industrial landfill from 1952 until closure in 1970, accepting a variety of wastes. The human exposure pathways include ingestion of soil, dermal contact with soil or surface water seeps, and possibly, inhalation of contaminated dusts. Exposure to on-site concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals via inhalation during activities that would disturb subsurface soils is of public health concern. The main populations of concern are workers at the Deffenbaugh Industries operation adjacent to the site, remedial workers, and possible trespassers. Remedial actions selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) include partial removal of contaminants, construction of an impermeable multilayer cap, and extensive groundwater monitoring. These actions should prove adequate for protection of the public health.
