Health Assessment for Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe (ATSF) Railway Company NPL (National Priorities List) Site, Clovis, Curry County, New Mexico, Region 6. CERCLIS No. NMD043158591

摘要

The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe (ATSF) Railway Company National Priorities List site is located about 10 miles west of the Texas-New Mexico border. Switchyard and railcar repair activities have occurred at that facility since the early 1900s. Since that time, ATSF has discharged wastewater via a pipeline to Santa Fe Lake, a natural play lake which is located about a mile south of the Clovis railyard. The site is of potential public health concern because remedial workers may be exposed to heavy metals, arsenic, and hydrocarbons via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact with contaminated ground water, surface water, sediments, and soils.
