摘要

The Butz Landfill in Jackson Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, was added tothe Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) in March 1989. Groundwater contamination downgradient of the site, with subsequent contamination of private residential wells by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), eventually led EPA to construct a potable public water supply. The major contaminants found in the private wells are 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), 1,2-dichloroethene (1,2-DCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and tetrachloroethene (PCE). The site posed a past public health hazard because people were exposed to contaminated groundwater.
