Title: Public health assessment for Starr Property, Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut, Region 1. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6590325

The Starr Property is a State designated Superfund site in the town of Enfield, Connecticut in Hartford County. The site represents an indeterminant public health hazard. Surface soil, subsurface soil, ground water, surface water and sediments have been contaminated with cyanide as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and some volatile organic compounds. The most significant exposures are occurring to people who trespass on the site and are involved in dirt bike riding that disturbs contaminated soils. Migration of contaminants off-site appears to be limited to ambient air, and surface water run-off. Groundwater may also be a potential route for migration of contaminants offsite.
