Technical Report · Wed Apr 26 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:6992115

The Bruin Lagoon is a National Priorities List site. Because of past on-site disposal practices for wastes from a mineral oil refinery (not located on-site), heavy metals, inorganic compounds, and benzene have contaminated on-site groundwater, soils, and sludge material (in the lagoon). The site is of potential public 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.
