Health assessment for American Crossarm and Conduit, Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington, Region 10. CERCLIS No. WAD057311094. Preliminary report
The American Crossarm and Conduit Company (Crossarm) site, located on 16 acres of land in Chehalis, Lewis County, Washington, is on the NPL. Wastes from incineration are stored on-site, just north of the wood-treatment building, in double fiberglass bags and 55-gallon drums. These wastes will be stored on-site until it is determined whether the wastes are hazardous. Debris, consisting of broken pallets, barrels, tires, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and what appeared to be old iron frames for railroad carts, was piled between the retorts and the chemical storage tanks, as well as in the shed beside the tanks. Sampling results of surface water from Dillenbaugh Creek have shown concentrations of PCP that are of public health concern if the water is ingested. The sediments sampled were contaminated with various forms of dioxin. Sampling results from surface soil samples taken on-site indicate concentrations of PCP and PAH's that are of public health concern if the soil is ingested or if the contaminants in the soil are dermally absorbed. On the basis of the information reviewed, the ATSDR has concluded that the site is of public health concern because humans are probably being exposed to physical hazards that may result in human injuries.
