摘要

The Public Health Assessment of Sola Optical USA, Inc. is based on a review ofthe Remedial Investigation report and the Public Health Risk Assessment. The Sola Optical USA, Inc. (Sola) site, located in Petaluma, Sonoma County, California, was placed on the National Priorities List by the EPA on June, 1988. The EPA is the lead governmental agency for the cleanup at the Sola site. Spillage associated with six underground solvent storage tanks resulted in volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) leaking into the subsurface soils and groundwater. These underground tanks and some of the surrounding contaminated soil have been excavated and removed from the site. Various VOCs have been detected in on-site groundwater at levels of human health concern; however the contaminated groundwater is not currently a source of drinking water. An on-site groundwater extraction and treatment system has been in operation since 1987. Based on information reviewed, ATSDR and CDHS have concluded that the Sola site poses no apparent public health hazard.
