Health Assessment for Koch Refining Company, Rosemount, Minnesota, Region 5. CERCLIS No. MND000686071
The Koch Refining Company (KRC) is listed on the National Priorities List. The 1200-acre site is located in the Pine Bend industrial district of the City of Rosemount, in southeastern Minnesota. The site includes the refinery site and adjacent properties owned by KRC. The refinery is located about 15 miles south of the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Water sampled from six private wells east of the refinery in January and February 1984 found low concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAHs). Monitoring wells installed in 1985-86 have contained much higher levels of contaminants. Deep soil borings in the vicinity of these wells confirm that the soil here is also highly contaminated. In addition, in June 1987, a layer of free product was found floating on the water in a monitoring well at the eastern edge of the tank farm. A section of gasoline pipeline was found to have corroded and was replaced. The pipeline is also believed to be a source of ground water and soil contamination. 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 ground water.
