Health Assessment for General Tire and Rubber Company, Mayfield, Kentucky, Region 4. CERCLIS No. KYD006371074

摘要

The General Tire & Rubber Co. (Mayfield Landfill) site, about 58 acres, is about 3 miles north of Mayfield, Kentucky, in central Graves County. The site has been proposed (Update 7) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for addition to the National Priorities List. The site vicinity is a combined rural and residential setting. Wastes, in bulk and in containers, were disposed of at the site in trenches, and the landfill was capped when the facility was closed in 1984. Reportedly, wastes were principally rubber, fabric, wood, and paper but included oils, floor sweepings, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, naphtha, and toluene. Surface soils, sediment, surface water, subsurface gases, and ambient air may be substantive environmental pathways; but monitoring data are not sufficient to confirm this hypothesis. Using the information reviewed, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry concludes that this site is of potential public health concern because humans may be exposed to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects.
