Letter Health Consultation: Elizabeth Mine Superfund Site, Town of Strafford, Vermont. EPA Facility ID: VT988366621, March 17, 2014.

摘要

EPA Region I requested that ATSDR review the 2013 environmental data collected at a private well adjacent to the Elizabeth Mine Superfund Site to determine whether the well water is safe to use as drinking water. This private well has been tested since 2001 in support of the EPA remedial investigation and feasibility study but the manganese levels were inconsistent until 2010 when high levels of manganese were detected. At that time, EPA informed the family not to drink the water. In 2013, the well was again tested in a more systematic manner to better characterize the elevation in contaminants. Our conclusions apply now or in the future if the well water is used for consumption.
