Health Assessment for Voortman Farm National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980692719
The Voortman Farm National Priorities List Site is located in Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. A sinkhole at the site was used for disposal of empty battery casings from late 1979 to early 1980. On September 10, 1986, it was reported that the battery casings in the sinkhole were on fire. The fire was extinguished and the waste material and surrounding soil were exacavated. The excavated material was disposed of in an approved landfill. Analytical results of groundwater, air, soil, and surface water samples show no contamination of public health concern. The site is not of public health concern under current conditions because of the absence of human exposure to significant levels of hazardous substances. There are presently no environmental and human exposure pathways evident. The general public may have been exposed to lead via smoke inhalation during the fire of 1986. The route of exposure would have been eliminated when the fire was extinguished.
