Health Assessment for Berkley Products Dump, Denver, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980538649

摘要

The Berkley Products Dump, an Update 7 site on the National Priorities List, is located in Denver, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The landfill was previously used for the disposal of municipal trash, wash solvents, waste paints, resins, and pigment sludges. Landfilling operations were terminated in 1969. A private residence is currently located on the western, nonfilled portion of the site. Other private residences are located adjacent to and downgradient from the site. Low concentrations of organic chemicals and high concentrations of inorganic chemicals were detected in water samples from private wells near the site. Although the use of this water for potable purposes could be of potential health concern, water from contaminated wells is reportedly not being used for potable purposes. Nonpotable use of the water would not be expected to pose a significant health risk. The potential health impacts resulting from contact with other environmental media -- such as ambient air, surface soils, and surface waters -- could not be assessed because of the absence of supporting analytical data.
