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

OSTI ID:6984430

The Route 940 Dump Site (RDS) is located in Tobyhanna (Monroe County), Pennsylvania. Preliminary on-site sampling results have identified various VOCs in groundwater and soil. They include: methylene chloride, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, benzene, toluene, 1,1-dichloroethene, and 1,2-dichloroethane. Potential environmental pathways include migration of contaminated groundwater, on-site soils, and volatilization of contaminants in ambient air. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances.
