Public Health Assessment for McGaffey and Main Groundwater Plume Site, Roswell, New Mexico. EPA Facility ID: NM0000605386, June 15, 2015.

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains a list of hazardous waste sites across the United States. This list of hazardous waste sites is called the National Priorities List (NPL) or Superfund and helps guide environmental and public health activities to stop or reduce exposure to hazardous waste and to introduce activities to protect public health. The McGaffey and Main Groundwater Plume Site is one such site. This NPL site is located within the city limits of Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico and consists of soil, air, and groundwater contamination at the intersection of South Main Street and McGaffey Street along with groundwater contamination that extends from this intersection to the southeast for approximately 7,500 feet to the intersection of South Atkinson Street and East Poe Street. Because the site is predominantly groundwater contamination, no visible signs of a site boundary exist. The areas above the estimated groundwater contamination are a mix of commercial, industrial and residential land uses.
