Technical Report · Wed Mar 15 00:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:7106260

The Central Landfill Site (CLS) is on the National Priorities List. CLS is owned by the Rhode Island Solid Waste Management Corporation and supported by state funds. Preliminary on-site sediment sampling results have identified cadmium, barium, lead, perchloroethylene, and chlorobenzene. Arsenic, lead, and mercury were identified in subsurface soil. In addition, 2,4-D, and 2,4,5-T were identified in on-site groundwater. The site is considered to be of imminent public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of human exposure to hazardous substances. Direct contact and ingestion of contaminated groundwater and soil are the human exposure pathways of concern.
