Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7106152
The Hardeman County Landfill site is listed on the National Priorities List. Velsicol Corporation used 242 acres of the land for disposal of off-specification pesticides and other related compounds beginning in 1964. Specific information on the environmental contamination on-site consisted of a reference to the probable theory that these chemicals consisted of a multitude of pesticide compounds (endrin, heptachlor, chlordanes, aldrin, dieldrin, hexachlorocyclopentadiene, hexachlorobenzene, and others), chlorinated benzenes, chlorinated phenols, and other chemicals. Environmental media-specific data were not provided. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via contaminated groundwater and soil.
