Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6651850
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested a health consultation from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) concerning sampling data on 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) levels in Spring River fish and sediments collected downstream of the Syntex Agribusiness facility (Syntex) in Verona, Missouri. These data were generated for the purpose of complying with a Consent Agreement and Order (the Order), signed by EPA and Syntex on September 6, 1983. The Order resulted in the Verona Plant Fish and Sediment Plan (the Plan), which was approved by the EPA on March 24, 1984. The Plan mandates yearly sampling for 5 years, beginning in 1984, and calls for an evaluation of the overall results after the 1988 sampling period so that recommendations about further sampling can be made. This Health Consultation has been prepared in response to EPA's request.
