Health Assessment for Jones Sanitation Landfill (Jones Septic Site), Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD980534556

摘要

The Jones Sanitation Landfill, also known as the Jones Septic Site, is listed on the National Priorities List. From the early 1960s through 1979 the site accepted industrial liquid wastes and sludges. The site now accepts only septic waste collected by commercial firms. Results of environmental sampling indicate that the contaminants of concern at the site include inorganics (e.g., chromium, copper, lead, cadmium, mercury), oil and grease wastes, and several volatile organic chemicals including: 1,1-dichloroethylene; trichloroethylene; trichloroethene, acetone; 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene; chloroform; methylene chloride; and perhaps pentachlorophenol. Based on the available information, 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.
