Health Assessment for Sayreville Landfill, Middlesex County, Sayreville, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJD980505754

摘要

The Sayreville Landfill site is on the National Priorities List. The Sayreville Landfill was licensed to receive municipal waste and light industrial waste; however, allegedly, hazardous waste also was disposed of during operations and after closure in 1977. On-site contamination consists of pentachlorophenol and p-ethyl toluene (concentration not reported), in drums which were removed from the site in 1982; benzene (110 ppb), toluene (105 ppb), arsenic (11,500 ppb) and chloroform (87 ppb) in soil; iron (596,000 ppb), manganese (2,700 ppb), phenol (2,300 ppb), 2-methyl phenol (3,100 ppb), and benzene (200 ppb) in groundwater. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via surface water (and ingestion of contaminated aquatic organisms) and possibly groundwater.
