Health Assessment for Strother Field Industries Park, Winfield, Winfield-Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas, Region 7. CERCLIS No. KSD980862726

摘要

The Strother Field Industries Park, Winfield site is on the National Priorities List. The 2.3 square mile site is an active industrial park with approximately 20 separate commercial and light industrial businesses. Groundwater contamination with chlorinated organic solvents has been documented; three possible sources within the park have been identified. The environmental contamination on-site consists of VOCs, including trichloroethylene (15,00 ppb), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (3,300 ppb), vinyl chloride (300 ppb), benzene (1,300 ppb), tetrachloroethylene (460 ppb), toluene (11,000 ppb), xylenes (12,000 ppb), ethyl benzene (1,000 ppb), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (29,000 ppb), 1,1-dichloroethylene (630 ppb), and chloroform (62 ppb). Other VOCs of lesser concentration and toxicity were present also. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via contaminated groundwater and air. While the threat from groundwater appears to be minor at present, continued migration may eventually affect private and public water supplies off the field.
