Technical Report · Wed Sep 28 04:00:00 EDT 1994

OSTI ID:6793841

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Ross Complex in Vancouver, Washington, is an active power distribution facility that coordinates the distribution of hydroelectic power to areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. During the course of past operations, various heavy metals, as well as organic and inorganic compounds, were used and improperly disposed of into trenches and storm drains. Contamination of soils, water, and air resulted. Contamination detected at the city's groundwater well station, southwest of the complex, was attributed to a source other than the Ross Complex. A number of private wells in the site vicinity are being used as sources of water; however, they are not expected to be affected by contamination from the Ross complex because of the direction of groundwater flow. Therefore, ATSDR believes that the site poses no apparent public health hazard.
