Technical Report · Thu Apr 20 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7168844

The Pinette's Salvage Yard Site (PSY) is on the National Priorities List. In 1979, three transformers were dismantled leaking polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and chlorobenzene on-site. Preliminary on-site sampling results have demonstrated 1,3 dichlorobenzene and 1,4 dichlorobenzene in groundwater, and PCB's, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,2 dichlorobenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, xylene, and tetrachloroethylene in soil. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances. Unauthorized persons having access to the site and/or those having direct contact with on-site soil and sediment are at risk of exposure.
