Technical Report · Mon Apr 10 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:6984285

The Blosenski Landfill National Priorities List site is in West Caln Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Industrial and municipal wastes that contain organic compounds and heavy metals have been disposed of 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 volatile organic compounds, have been detected at levels of potential concern in groundwater on-site and off-site, in soils on-site, in some water supply wells, and in surface water and sediments in a tributary that receives runoff from the area. Groundwater is the principal contaminated medium of concern. A temporary alternate water supply has been provided to two residences, and a permanent alternate water supply is being developed for these parties and for any other groundwater users where monitoring indicates the groundwater supply may be contaminated.
