Health Assessment for Wheeling Disposal Service, Amazonia, Missouri, Region 7. CERCLIS No. MOD000830554

摘要

The Wheeling Disposal Service is on the National Priorities List. The privately owned 200-acre site is located in Amazonia (Andrew County) in northwestern Missouri. Preliminary sampling results of on-site contaminants have demonstrated lead and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) consisting of trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, 1,2,dichloroethane, and ethylene dibromide. There is no conclusive evidence of off-site migrations; however, detectable amounts of metals and VOCs are present in off-site private walls and springs. Potential environmental pathways include contaminated groundwater, surface water, and on-site soils. 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 the above-named human exposure pathways.
