Health assessment for Old Springfield Landfill, Windsor County, Vermont, Region 1. CERCLIS No. VTD000860239. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7244831
The Old Springfield Landfill is in Windsor County, Vermont. Sampling results indicate that on-site surface soil and water, groundwater, and leachate seeps are contaminated with volatile organic and semivolatile organic compounds. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and some inorganic compounds may be present at greater than background concentrations. Risk characterization is inaccurate according to procedures prescribed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Similarly, the SR erroneously states that relatively high soil PCB concentrations were found on-site (e.g., 12,000 mg/kg). The correct units of concentration are ug/kg, and these results do not suggest extensive contamination with PCBs. ATSDR cannot comment on public health implications using the Endangerment Assessment, EA-SR, or SR in their present forms.
