Public Health Assessment for Northside Sanitary Landfill, Zionsville, BooneCounty, Indiana, Region 5. CERCLIS No. IND050530872

摘要

The privately owned Northside Sanitary Landfill (NSL) is about 10 miles northwestof Indianapolis in the southeast corner of Boone County. This site is a public health hazard. The estimated exposures are to sodium, and potentially to chlorinated volatile organic compounds and inorganic substances at concentrations in the residential wells that upon long-term exposures (greater than 1 year), can cause adverse health effects to any segment of the receptor populaiton. Potential exposure pathways exist for individuals involved in recreational activities in Finley Creek, and to individuals eating aquatic life caught in Finely Creek. The focus of the community concerns are on adverse health effects due to site related chemicals. The chemicals found in the on-site leachate present a future potential for release and off-site migration, thus possibly resulting in adverse health effects to individuals living adjacent to the site.
