摘要

The Jasper Creosoting Company (JCC) site, an 11.26 Acre site that operated as a211u001ewood treatment facility from 1946 until 1986, is approxmately one mile northeast 211u001eof downtown Jasper, in Jasper County, Texas. Throughout the facility's history, 211u001ewastewater generated from the wood treatment process has been discharged directly 211u001einto an off-site drainage ditch resulting in on-site soil, off-site sediment, and 211u001egroundwater contamination. The primary contaminants of concern at the site 211u001einclude polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxin-like compounds, and 211u001epentachlorophenol. Exposure situations include possible contact with site 211u001econtaminants in the soil, sediment, and groundwater. A brief review of the 211u001eevaluation organized by hazard category is presented. Based on available data the 211u001eauthors have concluded that due to insufficient data the JCC NPL site poses an 211u001eindeterminant public health hazard.
