OSTI ID:6605557

The GBF, Inc., Dump site was proposed for the National Priorities List by Update 7. The site is located in Antioch, Contra Costa County, California. The site is currently being operated as a sanitary landfill, but it was used previously for the disposal of chemical wastes. On-site groundwater is contaminated with high concentrations of volatile organic compounds. The extent of off-site groundwater contamination has not been determined. Although the area surrounding the site is serviced by a public water system, several private wells located downgradient of the landfill are used for potable and nonpotable purposes. No contamination of private wells has been reported. Ambient air monitoring at the site has not detected concentrations of air contaminants that pose significant health concerns.
