Health assessment for Property Disposal (Office) Area (PDOA) and Southeast Industrial Area (NPL) (National Priorities List) Site, Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PA2210090054. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7106090
The 19,520-acre Letterkenny Army Depot is in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Past waste disposal practices have resulted in the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water on-site. Thirty-nine residential potable water supply wells to the northeast, east, and southeast of Letterkenny Army Depot were contaminated as a result. Continued migration of contaminated groundwater could result in the future contamination of additional private wells. Surface soils are contaminated with volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) but do not pose a significant health risk for on-base personnel unless remedial activities result in increased levels of exposure. These sites are of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health that could result from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. Human exposure to VOCs may have occurred via inhalation, ingestion, and direct dermal contact with groundwater.
