Health assessment for Yakima Plating Company Site, Yakima, Washington, Region 10. CERCLIS No. WAD040187890. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6876029
The Yakima Plating Company site is an active electroplating facility located in Yakima, Washington. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed that the site be included on the National Priorities List, Update 7. The company has discharged waste water resulting from the electroplating processes to an on-site drainfield since 1962. Groundwater underlying the site is contaminated with several metals, including lead, chromium, and nickel. The surface soil is contaminated with chromium, nickel, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT), and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because humans may be exposed to hazardous substances via inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption of site-related contaminants.
