Public health assessment for Popile, Incorporated, El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas, Region 6. Cerclis No. ARD008052508. Final report
The Popile, Inc. site is located on South West Avenue about 3/4 mile south of El Dorado, Arkansas. Previous studies and environmental sampling indicate that chemicals such as creosote and pentachlorophenol that were used in wood treatment operations on the site, and waste materials, such as sludges and wastewater from the site operations, have contaminated site soils and groundwater with a number of contaminants, including VOCs, PAHs, phenols (primarily pentachlorophenol), furans/dioxins, and metals. The Popile, Inc. site poses an indeterminate public health hazard because available information is insufficient to determine whether past exposures to site contaminants may have occurred at levels that could have resulted in adverse health conditions. Based on the present level of contaminants in on-site groundwater, the site could pose a public health hazard in the future if the site is developed for residential and/or commercial/industrial activities and on-site wells are used for drinking water purposes.
