Elevated levels of the insecticide, chlordane, have been found in soils and sediments in the vicinity of the superfund site, North Hollywood Dump in Memphis, Tennessee. The site is a closed municipal/industrial landfill located on the alluvial plain and abandoned channels of the Wolf River. The general direction of the ground water flow is radically away from the dump but towards the river. In the following study, batch solubility and sorption experiments in combination with leaching studies using DOC were used to determine the potential for chlordane mobilization and transport at the site.
