Health Consultation: Carolina Steel Fabrication Facility, ALD004027579, Montgomery, Montgomery County
A letter dated October 8, 2003, from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) requested that the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) review environmental data relative to the Carolina Steel Fabrication Facility (CS) to determine if further investigation was necessary. Analysis from surface water and sediment samples collected from the Alabama River, Catoma Creek, and an unnamed tributary near the Carolina Steel Fabrication Facility were attached to the request. Surface water sample results showed the presence of metals and chlorinated hydrocarbons exceeding comparison values set by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The contaminants present in the various media are arsenic, cadmium, chloromethane, chromium, lead, mercury, methylene chloride, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, and trichloroethylene. Sediment samples showed elevated level of metals. In addition, volatile organic compounds (VOC)s have been detected in the public water supply wells north of the CS site, but are not at levels of health concern. Based on the current data, this site is categorized as posing no apparent public health hazard.
