Health Consultation: Public Health Evaluation of Soil Sampling Data for Lagoon 3. Somers Plating, Inc., Somers, Tolland County, Connecticut. EPA Facility ID: CTN000103776.

摘要

Before remedial activities of Lagoon 3 of the Somers Plating site began in November 2005, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) consulted with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) about using a modified cleanup level for cadmium to remediate portions of Lagoon 3. The U.S. EPA requested that the CT DPH evaluate public health implications from exposure to contaminated soil and sediment in Lagoon 3, post remediation. In an earlier health consultation, CT DPH previously determined that exposures to cadmium in surface soils at the site represented a public health hazard to those who may have been exposed (ATSDR 1996). This health consultation evaluates current site conditions in the area where the soil has been remediated to the alternative (modified) cleanup level for cadmium as well as the wetland area (which is part of Lagoon 3) where the soil has not been remediated.
