Health Consultation: Private Well Waters from the Mills Gap Road Area, Skyland, North Carolina. EPA Facility ID: NCSFN0406988, July 8, 2010.

摘要

The N.C. Division of Public Health (DPH) understands the community's concerns about contact with chemicals in private wells in the Mills Gap Road area in Skyland, NC. DPHs top priority is to make sure the community near the site has the best science information available to safeguard its health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) have collected private well water samples in the area of Mills Gap Road in Skyland NC as part of the investigation of the Mills Gap Road/CTS site. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is the primary contaminant associated with the CTS site. The private wells are being sampled to determine if they have been contaminated by chemicals moving away from the former CTS site in the groundwater. DPH has evaluated the private well water analytical data for potential threats to the communitys health as part of its continuing review of the Mills Gap Road/CTS site. Private well water samples discussed in this Health Consultation were collected from June 2008 through January 2010. All detected substances were evaluated for potential health effects, regardless of possible source. The source or sources of the contaminants discussed in this Health Consultation have not been confirmed. There may be localized sources other than the CTS site.
