Technical Report · Fri Jan 20 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:7244748

The Old City of York Landfill is a former landfill located in Seven Valleys (York County), Pennsylvania. It was reported that industrial waste was disposed of on-site. Preliminary on-site surface water sampling results have identified selenium, chromium, lead, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene (TCE), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. TCE and tetrachloroethylene have been found in domestic wells. Off-site surface water sampling identified arsenic. 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. Potential human exposure to contaminants include ingestion of and direct contact with groundwater, surface water, soil, and possible ingestion of bioaccumulated contaminants in the food chain.
