Health Assessment for Kem-Pest, Cape Girardeau, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, Region 7. CERCLIS No. MOD980631113

摘要

The Kem-Pest (Kem-Pest Laboratories) site is on the National Priorities List. The 6.1 acre site is a former pesticide formulating plant which, during operations from 1965 to 1975, channeled wastewater into a two-cell lagoon. Soil contaminants (in ppb) at the site are aldrin (3,500), chlordane (30,000), dieldrin (3,800), DDD (1,500), DDT (14,000), endrin (3,700), and heptachlor (64,000). On-site groundwater contaminants (in ppb) are chlordane (830), endrin (200), aldrin (170), and heptachlor (1,400). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern due to the risk caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances via groundwater, soils, sediments, and surface waters.
