| Short Description |
Ground water, soil, and sediment samples were collected July 17-18, 1989, from the Chicago Milwaukee Real Estate Corporation waste disposal site in Othello. Samples were analyzed for volatile organics, priority pollutant and EP Tox metals, organophosphorus pesticides, PCBs, and a range of conventional parameters. (Also see abstract below) | |||

| Abstract | Long Description |
Ground water, soil, and sediment samples were collected July 17-18, 1989, from the Chicago Milwaukee Real Estate Corporation waste disposal site in Othello, Washington. Samples were analyzed for volatile organics, priority pollutant and EP Tox metals, organophosphorus pesticides, PCBs, and a range of conventional parameters. In general, contaminant levels during this round of sampling were low and seen to confirm previous sampling at the site. Noteworthy exceptions were PCB 1260 (91 mg/kg, dry weight) in soil at ODH-5. Analysis of marsh sediments detected chloropyrifos (mean=180 mg/kg, dry weight), total DDT analogs (mean=280 mg/kg, dry weight), and unknown hydrocarbons (estimated mean=4.5x10-6 mg/kg, dry weight). Contamination of marsh sediments with these compounds appears to be related to the application of pesticides for mosquito control. |
