Public Health Assessment for Verona Well Field, Battle Creek, Calhoun County,Michigan, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MID980793806

摘要

The Verona Well Field site was placed on the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency's National Priority List in September 1983. The site poses a public health hazard, due to the past history of exposure via groundwater and the potential for future exposure. Future exposures could occur if the remedial measures that have been taken to capture the contaminated groundwater plume were interrupted or if residents used contaminated water from private wells for drinking, cooking, or other household uses contrary to public health advisories. The extent of surface soil contamination in the source areas should be evaluated.
