Technical Report · Sun Nov 13 23:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:6984097

The Coker's Sanitation Service Landfills site is the location of two former landfills used to dispose of latex rubber waste sludges from what is now the Reichhold Chemicals, Inc. plant. On-site contamination consists of ethylbenzene, iron, toluene, acrolein, and bis-2-chloroethylether in groundwater, waste sludges, sediments, and leachate. Off-site sampling of monitoring wells indicates acrolein and ethylbenzene in groundwater. There are no reports of physical hazards at the site. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via groundwater.
