Health assessment for Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation, Dover, Ohio, Region 5. CERCLIS No. OHD980610042. Preliminary report

Technical Report · Wed Jul 18 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6471793

The Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation site, Dover, Ohio, has been proposed for the National Priorities List by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The site--a coking plant and foundry from approximately 1910 until the late 1920s and a coal tar refinery from 1932 until 1956--has been vacant since 1956. Operations and waste disposal practices have contaminated soil and ground water with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Based upon information reviewed, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has concluded that 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 human health effects. As noted in the Human Exposure Pathways Section, human exposure to PAHs and VOCs may be occurring and may have occurred in the past via soil and ground water. Recommendations are provided concerning additional sampling and further restrictions to public access.
