Ohio Human Health Criteria are found in the Lake Erie Basin Aquatic Life and Human Health Tier I Criteria
Tier II Values and Screening Values contained and developed persuant to Chapters 3745-1 and 3745-2 of the Ohio Administrative Code. Exposure is based upon ingestion of fish and incidental ingestion of surface water during recreational activities.
* Other chemicals were detected in the surface water. This table focuses on the chemicals of most concern at the site.
** Complete list of sampling results can be found at EPA's Integrated Assessment Report, 2000.
*** Subsequent sampling shows contaminant levels in the creek have been reduced to below levels of concern

Table 2. Sycamore Creek Sediment Sampling Results (Nov-99)

Lead	2.5 - 139			30
Manganese	120 - 4040	500		200
Nickel	7.3 - 330	200		100

RMEG = Reference Dose Media Evaluation Guide (ATSDR, based on EPA reference dose)
MCL = Maximum Contaminant Level (EPA)
RAL = Removal Action Level (EPA)

** There are currently no residents in the immediate area of the site using the shallow groundwater aquifer as their drinking water source.

** This table lists chemicals of greatest concern detected in the groundwater
** Complete list of sampling results can be found in EPA's Integrated Assessment Report, 2000.
