Health Consultation: Vega Baja Solid Waste Disposal Site Assessment of Organic and Inorganic Chemicals in the Drainage Ditch's Sediment, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. EPA Facility ID: PRD980512669 (February 26, 2005)

摘要

CDM Federal Programs Corporation (CDM) under the Response Action Contract (RACII) Program, performed a Remedial Investigation (RI) and Feasibility Study (FS), for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region II at the Vega Baja Solid Waste Disposal Site, Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. The purpose of this RI report was to present the results of the field investigations at the site. The goal of this investigation was to define the nature and extent of site-related contamination in groundwater, nearby public supply wells, springs/seeps, river and drainage ditch sediment, and surface water, and to define the hydro-geologic framework of the site. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asked the Puerto Rico Program to Conduct and Coordinate Site Specific Activities to evaluate the data obtained on the RI for organic and inorganic chemicals detected in the drainage ditchs sediment. The EPA wanted to know whether exposures to sediments contaminants are occurring and if health effects could result from exposures to the contaminants.
