Summary
& Conclusions
The SWMU
6 Soil Sampling Results Report (URS, 2001) presented a detailed
comparison of site data to USEPA Region III RBCs for the residential
and industrial scenarios. Based on MDC comparisons, the
inorganic constituent arsenic was reported as present in exceedance
of the Residential and Industrial RBCs. Other MDCs were reported
as below Industrial RBCs. Subsequently, the data was compared
to background
Point Estimates as established in the Facility-Wide Background
Study (IT Corp., 2002).
The MDC for arsenic is below background Point Estimates and
therefore arsenic is not considered a risk at the site. One
detection of aluminum, while above the background Point Estimate,
is below the Industrial RBC
(Table 2). This detection of aluminum is well below the Industrial
RBC value of 200,000 mg/kg. Given the industrial nature of
the site, the depth bgs, the lack of viable pathways, and
the toxicity of the constituent, this
exceedance is not considered a risk at SWMU 6.
Based on the information presented in the SWMU 6 Soil Sampling
Results Report and herein, concentrations of chemicals detected
in soil samples at the site do not present a residual risk.
