Health Assessment for Bowers Landfill National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Pickaway County, Ohio, Region 5. CERCLIS No. OHD980509616

摘要

The Bowers Landfill is a 12-acre National Priorities List Site located in Pickaway County approximately 25 miles south of Columbus, Ohio. Bowers Landfill was used for the disposal of residential, grain elevator, and industrial wastes from 1958-1969. Sampling and analysis of on-site and off-site ground water, sediment, and soil revealed a number of on-site and off-site contaminants including polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, barium, lead, and manganese. Air sampling was not conducted during site remediation. Environmental pathways of contaminant migration to off-site areas include those associated with ground water, soil, sediments, air, and bioaccumulation. Access to the site is not restricted and there is documented evidence of recreational use by all terrain vehicles on-site.
