Public health assessment for petitioned public health assessment, Atlanta Gas Light Company, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, Region 4. Cerclis number GAD98430692 June 1, 1998
The Atlanta Gas Light facility (AGL) is located in Augusta, Georgia. The AGL site consists of three parcels (Northern, Southern, and Western) separated by 8th and Taylor Streets and the Third level Canal. In April 1994, a contractor for AGL initiated a comprehensive Remedial Investigation of the site that revealed contamination of surface water, soil, sediment, and groundwater both on- and off-site. Contaminants detected include metals polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Area residents have expressed several concerns relating to exposure to tar products and contaminated air, surface water, soil, and groundwater. ATSDR reviewed available data and evaluated who might be exposed to site-related contaminants and to what extent. Available data of the current level of contaminants detected on-and off-site indicate the AGL site represents No Apparent Public Health Hazard for current and future exposures. However, although information is not available, exposure to contaminants in the past is plausible, and the site represents an Indeterminate Public Health Hazard for past exposures.
