Health Assessment for Sheridan Disposal Services (SDS) Proposed National Priorities List Site, Hemstead, Texas, Region 6. CERCLIS No. TXD062132147

摘要

The Sheridan Disposal Services Proposed National Priorities List site is located about nine miles north-northwest of the City of Hemstead, Texas. The site is located in a remote area of Waller County just south of the Brazos River. Because of past disposal and treatment practices at the site, various organic compounds and heavy metals are found in on-site surface waters, sludge, soils, and ground water (upper aquifer only). The site is of potential public health concern because human exposure to various organic compounds and heavy metals may occur via oral, dermal, or inhalation exposure to on-site surface waters and surface soils and sludges. Although this is a potential public health concern, the potential for significant exposure under the current conditions at the site is minimal because human access to the site is limited (i.e., six-foot barbed-wire cyclone fence) and the site is located in a remote area.
