Health Assessment for Howe Valley Landfill, Hardin County, Kentucky, Region 4. CERCLIS No. KYD980501191

摘要

The Howe Valley Landfill Site is on the National Priorities List. The site is located in Hardin County, Kentucky. Approximately 2,000 to 5,000 drums of wastes reportedly consisting of sludges from various manufacturing operations, plating sludges, galvanizing wastes, silicone polymers, insulation and insulation byproducts were disposed of on-site from 1979 to 1986. Preliminary on-site soil/sediment sampling results have identified chromium, lead, aluminum, and cyanide. Preliminary off-site groundwater sampling results identified lead and traces of arsenic, chromium, cadmium, and mercury. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances.
