Health assessment for Ottati and Goss/Great Lakes Container Corporation NPL (National Priorities List) Site, Kingston, New Hampshire, Region 1. CERCLIS No. NHD990717647. Final report

Technical Report · Mon Apr 10 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7244842

The Ottati Goss/Great Lakes Container Corporation National Priorities List (NPL) Site is located off Route 125 in Kingston, New Hampshire. Drum reconditioning and waste processing was conducted at the site from the late 1950's through July 1980. Waste material and drums were disposed of on site. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals were shown to be in on-site soils, groundwater, surface water, and sediment. VOCs and heavy metals were also shown to be in off-site groundwater and surface water. Samples from local residential potable water supply wells showed no contamination of public health concern. The site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. Human exposure to VOCs, PCBs, and heavy metals may occur in the future if this site is not effectively remediated.
