Health assessment for Charles George Landfill, Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, Region 1. CERCLIS No. MAD003809266. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Mar 18 04:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:7168910

In Tyngsboro, Massachusetts the Charles George Landfill contaminants (benzene, toluene, trichloroethylene, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, 2-butanone, chloroform, copper, arsenic, and cadmium) present a potential public health hazard from ingestion and other contact with groundwater, surface water, soil, and sediments. Remedial actions currently in place (landfill cap, leachate collection system, gas vent collection system, access restrictions) deal, probably effectively, with the stabilization of on-site contamination. Future remedial investigations (RI) will explore further the extent of off-site migration of contaminants, and suitable technologies to treat the problem.
