Public Health Assessment for Old City of York Landfill, Seven Valleys,Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980692420

摘要

The Old City of York Landfill National Priority List (NPL) site is adjacent toSouth Road, approximately two miles southeast of the borough of Seven Valleys in Springfield Township, York County, Pennsylvania. Site soils, groundwater, springs, seeps, and collection vaults were contaminated with volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. Human exposure could occur through ingestion or dermal absorption of site contaminants from the aforementioned media. The population at potential risk includes children, hunters, hikers, or other trespassers on the site who may come into direct contact with contaminated site soils. However, environmental media associated with the site appear minimally affected by the landfill. The site represents no apparent public health hazard because there is no evidence of trespassing on the site, and because nearby residents have been provided municipal water.
