Technical Report · Wed Mar 30 04:00:00 EST 1994

OSTI ID:7297152

The Solvent Savers site, which is on the National Priorities List, is in the Town of Lincklaen, Chenango County, New York. Solvent Savers was a chemical waste recovery facility, where solvents were distilled for reuse. A drum reconditioning business operated at the site from 1967 to 1974. Liquids, solids, sludges, and wastes from the distillation process were disposed directly onto the ground, and in buried tanks and drums in several areas on-site. Soils, groundwater, as well as surface water, and sediments in Mud Creek are contaminated. The site posed a public health hazard in the past because the residents who lived at the site between 1978 and 1988 were most likely exposed to elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and VOCs in on-site soils via dermal contact and inhalation and incidental ingestion of contaminated soil particulates. Currently, the site poses a no apparent public health hazard as exposure to contaminants in drinking water and on-site soils is not occurring.
