Public health assessment for petitioned health assessment for Mayfair/New Haven Subdivision, Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, Region 4. Final report
The Mayfair/New Haven Subdivision is a residential neighborhood that was allegedly developed on top of a closed municipal landfill in the 1970s in Natchez, Mississippi. This public health assessment is an evaluation of existing on and offsite environmental data, health outcome data, and addresses community health concerns related to the site. A review of onsite surface and subsurface soils, subsurface soil gas, and sediment sampling data showed chemical contamination in the neighborhood. However, the concentrations of the chemicals detected throughout the subdivision in the soil, subsurface soil gas, and sediment are not at levels that cause adverse health effects. Past and present sampling results from the municipal well located in the Mayfair/New Haven Subdivision showed no groundwater contamination at levels of health concern. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has classified the Mayfair/New Haven Subdivision as a No Public Health Hazard.
