Health assessment for Plymouth Harbor/Cannon Engineering Corporation, Plymouth, ,assachusetts, Region 1. CERCLIS No. MAD980525232. Final report
The Cannon Engineering Corporation Plymouth (CEC Plymouth) National Priorities List (NPL) Site is located adjacent to Plymouth Harbor about one and one-half miles northwest of the Town of Plymouth and one and one-half miles southeast of the Towns of Kingston and Kingston Shores, Massachusetts. The site facilities consisted of three storage tanks, two of which were used to store hazardous wastes before disposal. Past remedial measures included the removal and disposal of the tanks and tank contents, and other miscellaneous wastes present at the site. Low concentrations of pesticides were found in on-site groundwater samples. The primary on-site soil contaminants are polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and heavy metals. The human exposure pathways of major concern are the ingestion and dermal absorption of contaminants in on-site soil. Long-term exposure to the contaminated on-site soils poses a potential human health threat.
