Health Consultation: Bayou Meto Watershed Fish Flesh Monitoring Report, Vertac Chemical Corporation Superfund Site (a/k/a Hercules Incorporated), 1600 Marshall Road, Jacksonville, Pulaski County, Arkansas, 72076. EPA Facility ID: ARD000023440. Site ID: 0600023.

摘要

Over the past thirty years, the Vertac Incorporated Superfund Site, a.k.a. Hercules Incorporated, has been a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund site and as undergone remediation. Dioxins were one of the primary contaminants of concern (COC) that migrated off-site. Dioxins were identified in the Bayou Meto Watershed in close proximity to the site and have the potential to bioaccumulate in fish found in this water source. This health consultation serves to evaluate the most recent round of fish tissue data for human consumption as requested by EPA and ensure the accuracy of the fish advisory within the Bayou Meto Watershed surrounding the Vertac site.
