FOOTNOTES

1. Please refer to Appendix D for a list of acronyms used in this document.

2. After the site visit, the US EPA provided the following verbatim: In June 1989, pursuant to a CT DEP Abatement Order, Linemaster removed the dry well. At that time, approximately, 1,000 gallons of hazardous liquid were removed from the well and disposed at a licensed hazardous waste storage facility. After the Removal Action, Linemaster filled the area with clean soils, placed a plastic barrier over the soils in the Zone 1 area, and have spread bark mulch over the area (36).

3. When the data presented in the RI/FS did not specify whether chromium was either form (III) or form (VI), the most toxic form (VI) was assumed.

4. Lead enters drinking water primarily as a result of the corrosion (i.e., wearing away) of lead-containing materials in the household plumbing. These materials include lead-based solders used to connect copper pipe and brass and chrome-plated brass faucets. In 1986, the U.S. Congress banned the use of lead solder containing greater than 0.2% lead, and restricted the lead content of faucets, pipes and other plumbing materials to 8%. You may reduce the concentration of lead in your water by flushing your household plumbing. To flush, let the water run until the water gets noticeably colder, usually about 15 to 30 seconds. You may want to repeat this procedure any time the water in a faucet has gone unused for more than six hours. Additionally, you may want to avoid cooking with, or drinking water from the hot water tap. Hot water dissolves more lead more quickly than cold water. If you need hot water, draw water from the cold tap and then heat it on the stove.

5. We assume that adults drink 2 liters (66 ounces) of tap water each day for over one year and weigh 70 kg (154 pounds). For children we assume that they drink one liter (33 ounces) of tap water for over one year and weigh 10 kg (22 pounds).
