Health assessment for Millcreek National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980231690. Final report

Technical Report · Fri Jun 30 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:6984267

The Millcreek National Priorities List Site is located in Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. Industrial and municipal wastes containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and heavy metals have been disposed on the property. The site is of potential health concern because of the risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. Contaminants, principally VOCs and metals, have been detected at levels of potential concern in groundwater on-site and off-site. Surface and subsurface soils, surface water, and sediments also are contaminated. Groundwater is the principal environmental medium of concern because, under extended drought conditions, contaminated groundwater might migrate to an upgradient public water supply well field.
