The Evor Phillips Leasing (EPL) Site is on the National Priorities List. EPL has been reported to contain between 4,000 and 5,000 drums containing chemical wastes. Preliminary on-site sampling results have identified 1,2-dichloroethane (570 ppm in soil, 10 ppm in ground water, 4 ppm in private well), and trichloroethylene (197 ppm in soil, 358 ppb in ground water). Other substances identified in on-site soils include: ethylbenzene (1,590 ppm), toluene (3,240 ppm), phthalates (8 ppm in test pit waste). In addition, copper (200 ppb), nickel (69 ppb), and zinc (2,400 ppb) were detected in a private well. The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of human exposure to hazardous substances via ground water, soil, leachate, sediment, and surface water.
