Health-assessment for G and H Landfill, Shelby Township, Macomb County, Michigan, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MID980410823. Addendum. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6954615

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) placed the G and H Landfill site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1983. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released a public health assessment for the site in 1989. In August 1990, the final report from a Remedial Investigation (RI) at the site was released. The U.S. EPA signed a Record of Decision (ROD) for remediation at the site in December 1990. The Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) reviewed the original G and H Landfill Health Assessment in light of the new information from the RI and prepared this Addendum. In the G and H Landfill Health Assessment, the ATSDR concluded that the site was of indeterminate public health concern because of possible exposure to contaminants through use of contaminated water and consumption of contaminated wild animals and fish. The RI has generated much new data on environmental contamination at the site. The new information supports the conclusions and recommendations from the original public health assessment.
