Technical Report · Wed Jan 04 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:7004236

The Scientific Chemical Processing site is on the National Priorities List. The six-acre site is a former waste-processing facility which accepted various wastes for recovery and disposal. On-site soil contamination (maximum concentrations reported) consists of volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOCs) (18,580 ppm); benzidine (244 ppm); petroleum hydrocarbons (81,600 ppm); polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 1,892 ppm; pesticides (264 ppm); polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (15,000 ppm); and heavy metals. On-site ground water contamination (maximum concentrations reported) consists of VOCs (3,600 ppm); PCBs (17 ppm); PAHs (3 ppm); petroleum hydrocarbons (2,270 ppm); and heavy metals. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via contaminated ground water, soil, sediment, surface water, and air.
