Health Assessment for River Road Landfill, Hermitage, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD000439083

摘要

The River Road 60-acre municipal landfill, created in 1962, reportedly accepted polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste. PCBs have been detected in the diversion ditch drainage to the Shenango River. Soil samples at the landfill have also shown elevated levels of PCBs. Chloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethane were also found in on-site groundwater. Surface soil, surface water, and groundwater appear to be impacted by the site. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via chemicals in the groundwater migrating off-site into nearby residential wells.
