Technical Report · Thu Apr 22 04:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:6402384

Powell Road Landfill (PRL), a National Priorities List site, is north of metropolitan Dayton in Huber Heights, Montgomery County, Ohio. Environmental monitoring discovered volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in on-site gas vent vapors, vent liquids, ambient air, surface leachate, and groundwater. Samples also detected semivolatile organic compounds and metals in vent liquids and surface leachate. In addition, soil samples detected small amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phthalate esters. Methane was detected in soil gas samples. Off-site investigations discovered VOCs in groundwater and ambient air. Powell Road Landfill is a public health hazard because of possible past exposures and the potential for human exposure to site-related chemicals. There are chemicals present in groundwater that are considered to be carcinogens, while other chemicals may adversely affect the liver and kidneys. The public health assessment recommends monitoring of on-site ambient air during remediation to insure the safety of on-site workers and nearby residents.
