Health Consultation: Arkansas Plating Company Remediation Review, Arkansas Plating Company, 3021 North Albert Pike Road, Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas 72904. EPA Facility ID: ARD046139770

摘要

In the residential area surrounding the Arkansas Plating Company site, ATSDR's top priority is to ensure that the community has the best information possible to safeguard its health and prevent people from coming in contact with harmful toxic substances. In response to a request from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6, the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) evaluated EPA's proposed clean-up levels and follow-up soil samples for the contaminants of concern (COCs) identified during the removal assessment for Arkansas Plating Company. Previously, ADH and ATSDR had reviewed and proposed clean-up levels to be used by EPA Region 6 as remediation goals for the Arkansas Plating Company site. The primary COCs identified at this site during the removal assessment were chromium, lead, and cyanide. Under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), ADH has prepared this health consultation to determine if exposures to contaminated soil (before, during, or after the removal process) could result in harm to the people involved in remediation and the surrounding community that had contact with the soil.
