Public Health Assessment for Sanitary Landfill (a/k/a Cardington Road Landfill), Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, Region 5. CERCLIS No. OHD093895787

摘要

The Sanitary Landfill Site (also known as the Cardington Road Landfill Site) is within the municipal limits of the City of Moraine, approximately one mile south of the city of Dayton, in Montgomery County, Ohio. A broad spectrum of commercial, industrial, and municipal wastes were placed in the landfill. The Sanitary Landfill is a public health hazard because of the explosive levels of methane present in soil samples at the site. Methane was present in on-site and off-site soil gas samples and on-site vents at levels posing a risk of explosion or fire. There is also a potential for people to be exposed to toluene in ambient air and chemicals in soil gas. In addition, on-site and off-site soil gas contained high concentrations of volatile organic compounds. Exposure directly to chemicals in soil gas is not likely, however, chemicals may migrate into buildings bordering the landfill.
