Technical Report · Tue Nov 29 00:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:5220246

The site is listed on the National Priorities List. The two-acre site used to be an electroplating facility (1898-1982); wastes from the operation were accumulated in 55-gallon drums, in above- and below-ground storage tanks, and in a surface impoundment. The principal contaminants of concern at the site were cyanide, arsenic, nickel, chromium and other inorganics. However, recent monitoring has indicated the presence of napthalene, benzenes, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, and 1,2-dichloroethane. Based on the available information, the site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via groundwater contamination.
