Public Health Assessment for Sauget Area 2 Landfill (a/k/a Sauget WWTP) Sauget, St. Clair County, Illinois, EPA Facility ID: ILD000672329;Final rept

摘要

Sauget Area 2 is a proposed National Priorities List site. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has prepared this public health assessment to evaluate Site O, Sauget Waste Water Treatment Plant and its lagoons, and Landfill S, which is adjacent to Site O. Sources of contamination include: industrial sludge in the lagoons on Site O, underground waste oil storage tanks, dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in surface soil near these tanks, and land-filled chlorinated solvent wastes. The land-filled wastes are now coming to the surface and affecting surface soil at Landfill S. Chemicals of interest in the surface soils at Landfill S include 1, 1-dichloroethane, 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, vinyl chloride, PCBs, and mercury.
