Technical Report · Wed Jun 03 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:6984386

The Environmental Protection Agency Region I Office requested that the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry review and comment on the Remedial Investigation for the ReSolve site. Based on the information presented, a potential public health threat exists for persons who may contact or ingest surface soils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or contact surface water and groundwater contaminated with PCBs and VOCs. Additionally, there is concern that the PCBs present in the sediments of surface water could make their way into the food chain. Since the unlined lagoons at the site were used for burning volatile organics and PCBs, the possible presence and concentrations of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (CDD) and chlorinated dibenzofuran (CDF) congeners should be determined.
