Health assessment for Hranica Landfill, Sarver, Butler County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980508618. Preliminary report
The Hranica Landfill 15-acre site is the location of a landfill, drum disposal, and waste incineration facility which operated from 1966 to 1974. In 1984, a private party removal action took place which resulted in the removal of approximately 19,000 drums of contaminated materials and the top six inches of the most heavily contaminated soil. The environmental contamination remaining on-site after the 1984 removal and cleanup consists of mercury, arsenic, phenols, polychlorinated biphenyls, trichloroethylene, and benzene in soil; and arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, ethylbenzene, methylene chloride, benzene, and xylene in groundwater. Environmental contamination off-site consists of lead, mercury, 1,1-dichloroethylene, phenol, polychlorinated biphenyls, and trichloroethylene in surface water. 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 surface water and groundwater.
