摘要

The Arkwood, Inc. site is listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the National Priorities List (NPL, a.k.a. Superfund). The former wood treatment facility was found to be contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and dioxins. In the 1990’s, a Record of Decision (ROD) was issued and site remediation was implemented. Recently, due to EPA updates of dioxin guidelines, the soil at the Arkwood site has been reevaluated. EPA Region 6 Superfund Division requested a review of the soil data for public health evaluation. This evaluation includes a review of 28 soil samples collected in October 2014 using the adolescent trespasser exposure scenario.
