Woodbury Chemical Co.

This site has been deleted from the EPA Superfund National Priorities List — EPA's classification means construction-complete cleanup objectives were achieved, though monitoring may continue. Most-cited contaminant of concern: Aldrin.

CLEANUP TIMELINE

Listing-date and cleanup-phase enrichment from EPA's per-site SEMS profile is queued for a follow-up ingest pass. Until then, this section will populate from EPA's published timeline data.

Notable Signals

No notable signals at this Superfund site for the current ingest. Cleanup-phase and SEMS-action flags are deferred to a follow-up engineering pass.

Contaminants of concern · per EPA SEMS

What's In This Site

Each row pairs a contaminant with the medium it was found in (the exposure pathway). Hover any named contaminant for an agency-cited health-risk summary. Cited count = number of SEMS decision records (RODs and related) that name the pair.

ContaminantPathwayCited
AldrinHealth riskMetabolizes to dieldrin in the body. EPA classifies as 'probable human carcinogen'; banned in the US in 1987. (EPA, ATSDR)Soil2
ArsenicHealth riskIARC Group 1 carcinogen via inhalation and ingestion. EPA MCL 10 µg/L; chronic exposure causes skin, lung, bladder cancer and cardiovascular disease. (IARC, EPA, ATSDR)Soil2
ChlordaneHealth riskIARC Group 2B possible carcinogen; neurotoxin; banned for most uses in 1988 but residues persist. (IARC, EPA)Soil2
DieldrinHealth riskIARC Group 3 (inadequate evidence) but EPA classifies as 'probable human carcinogen'; neurotoxin and persistent organic pollutant. (EPA, ATSDR)Soil2
P,P'-DdtHealth riskIARC Group 2A probable carcinogen; persistent bioaccumulator; banned in the US in 1972 but residues persist in soil and sediment. (IARC, EPA)Soil2

ToxapheneHealth riskIARC Group 2B possible carcinogen; persistent bioaccumulator; banned in the US in 1990. (IARC, EPA)Soil2

Drinking-water linkage · SDWIS

No Groundwater PWSes Serving Communities Within 3 Miles

No SDWIS public water systems drawing groundwater (or mixed sources) serve a community whose centroid sits within 3 miles of this site. Empty results are not a guarantee of non-impact — distance is computed to served-place centroids, and SDWIS does not expose individual wellhead locations.

Methodology: served-city centroid (TIGER 2020) is used as the PWS coordinate. Source-water classification from SDWIS primary_source_code; only groundwater and mixed-source systems are queried. Click any system above for its full SDWIS profile.

What this is not. We report EPA's published Superfund record — site listing, status, and contaminants of concern as named in EPA's decision documents. We do not perform site visits, independent air or water sampling, or current-state health-risk assessment. NPL listing reflects EPA's Hazard Ranking Score at a point in time; it does not by itself describe present-day exposure.
