Health assessment for Bally Groundwater, Bally, Berk County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD061105128. Preliminary report
The Bally Groundwater Company site consists of the Borough of Bally municipal well number three. On December 2, 1982, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources discovered organic solvent contamination in the well; the well was taken out of service shortly thereafter. The environmental contamination consists of 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. The environmental contamination off-site consists of 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride in groundwater. The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of exposure to hazardous substances via ingestion, dermal contact and absorption, and inhalation (volatile components) of contaminated groundwater.
