Public Health Assessment for Solvents Recovery Services of New England, Southington, Hartford County, Connecticut, Region 1. CERCLIS No. CTD009717604.

摘要

Solvents Recovery Services of New England (SRSNE) is a National Priority List (NPL) hazardous waste site located in Southington, Connecticut. SRSNE functioned as a hazardous waste treatment facility processing waste solvents from 1955 until May 1991, when the facility closed down all operations permanently. Ground water and soil, on and off-site have been contaminated with waste solvents and metals due to improper past disposal practices. Based primarily on well documented past exposures that occurred from approximately the mid 1960s to 1979, the potential for present and future exposures the site has been determined to be a public health hazard. Through contaminated ground water used for public drinking water, a large portion of the town was exposed to site related compounds for an undetermined amount of time. In addition, airborne exposures occurred in the past through incineration of waste sludges. Current air emissions generated from the ground water recovery system should be assessed or controlled to assure public health.
