1.0 Introduction
In June 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA), Office of Research and
Development (ORD)/National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) in
collaboration with EPA Region 10 under the Regional Applied Research Effort (RARE) Program
issued a Statement of Work (SOW) under Contract No. EP-C-04-034 (Work Assignment No. 4-
19) that tasked Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. (Shaw) to provide technical support
and coordinate activities to evaluate the fate and effects of leachate contamination on Alaska's
tribal drinking water sources. Subsequently, this work was continued under Contract No. EP-C-
09-041 (Work Assignments No. 0-07, 1-07, and 2-07). Overall, the individual SOWs required
Shaw to coordinate with EPA and the Alaskan tribal communities to identify and select five
suitable Alaskan tribal landfills/dump sites and perform suitable water quality sampling and
analysis to identify chemical and microbial contaminants of concern (COCs) that could
potentially impact the local drinking water sources.
The goals of this research were to characterize the general surface water quality and groundwater
quality in the vicinity of the selected Alaska's rural landfills, identify water contamination levels,
and collect information that can be used to improve the management of the approximately 200
open tribal dump sites throughout the State of Alaska. This final report summarizes the activities,
findings, and recommendations based on the approximately three years of this collaborative
research.
1.1 Project Background
Rural Alaskan dump sites were often developed without any site assessment, design, or
engineering, and are unlined. These open dumps usually contain mixed wastes including
household hazardous waste, "honey bucket" (i.e. human) wastes, and electronic wastes such as
circuit boards in computers. While permafrost may function as a "barrier/liner" to retain the
leachate and prevent its immediate release into local surface water and/or groundwater, there are
increasing concerns that projected changes in climate may result in the melting of the permafrost
and cause a sudden increase in the release of environmental contaminants from the dump sites.
Therefore, in order to evaluate the fate and effects of leachate contamination, it is important to
characterize the groundwater and surface water quality in the vicinity of these landfills.
1.2 Research Collaborators
Many individuals contributed during various phases (e.g., planning, field work, sampling,
analysis, and reports) of this research work. The key collaborators include:
1. EPA/ORD/NRMRL - Chris Impellitteri, Craig Patterson, Bart Faulkner, and Debbie
Roose.
-------
May 2012
2. EPA Region 10 - Michelle Davis, Greg Kellogg, Tami Fordham, Fran Stefan, Roseanne
Lorenzana, and Al Latourette.
3. Rural Alaskan Community Action Program (RurAL CAP) - Ted Jacobsen.
4. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) Alaska - Joseph Sarcone.
5. University of Alaska - Bill Schnabel, Birgit Hagedorn, and Edda Mutter.
6. Alaska Tribal Village Site Coordinators - Nick Carter (Eek), Lorraine King (Ekwok),
Eric Morris (White Mountain), Clayton Tackett (Fort Yukon) and Pam Vent (Allakaket).
7. Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure - Srinivas Panguluri, Jack James, Paul McCarren,
Steve Crupi, Wayne Coppell, Bill Bailor, and Kelly Birkenhauer.
Field activities performed by the Shaw Alaska team under this study were coordinated with a
team of researchers at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks (UAF), University of Alaska at
Anchorage (UAA), and the RurAL CAP.
In order to enhance the collaboration and information sharing, a team website was setup using
the Google Sites platform and tools (https://sites.google.com/site/alaskarare/). Google Sites is a
free structured wiki- and web page-creation tool offered as part of the Google Apps Productivity
suite. The "alaskarare" project site was designed to serve as a portal where the project team
members could collaborate and share files. This website is used for information sharing and
serves as a document repository. Periodically, project related documents and other documents of
interest to the RARE team are posted to this site. Access to this site can be requested by
contacting the EPA Region 10 lead Ms. Michelle Davis at Davis.MichelleV@epa.gov.
1.3 Site Selection
The EPA SOW required Shaw to coordinate with the research partners to identify and select sites
landfills that would include various geophysical representations. The EPA SOW called for the
study to include regions with undisturbed tundra, disturbed tundra in (or in very close proximity
to) a tundra pond, short distance to groundwater, and long distance to groundwater. Based on
discussions with the research team, the following sites were initially identified and their
participation was solicited in the form of a questionnaire (See Appendix A - for the
questionnaire and responses received):
1) Ekwok - (undisturbed tundra),
2) Eek - (disturbed tundra),
3) Tuntutuliak - (in or in very close proximity to a tundra pond),
4) Iquimiut - Russian Mission (short distance to groundwater), and
5) White Mountain - (long distance to groundwater).

-------
May 2012
In 2009, three sites (Eek, Ekwork and White Mountain) were selected for the groundwater
monitoring well installation. Environmental officials at the tribal villages of Tuntutuliak and
Iquimiut were not able to participate because of work on other projects. Subsequently, in 2011,
groundwater monitoring equipment was deployed at two additional sites (Fort Yukon and
Allakaket). Fort Yukon's landfill is located in a tundra pond. Allakaket's landfill is located
mostly on tundra and permafrost.
1.4 Equipment Selection
The initial planning activities for the three sites (in 2009) resulted in a conclusion that due to the
remoteness of the site locations, it was not possible with the available budget to ship/transport
drilling equipment. However, during the planning stages it was anticipated that many of the sites
(except White Mountain) would have very shallow groundwater tables that could be accessed by
hand-auger, and manually driven piezometers could serve as well points. A piezometer is an
open well or standpipe with solid casing down to the depth of interest and a slotted or screened
casing within the zone where water is being monitored. A piezometer well is much smaller in
diameter than a production well, and therefore it can be manually driven. Stainless steel
piezometers are employed in initial site investigations as they are simple, cost effective, and can
be manually driven up to 25 feet in suitable soils.
The project team selected the Solinst (Model 615) Drive-Point Piezometer (Solinst Canada Ltd.
Georgetown, Ontario) as an affordable method to monitor groundwater. The drive-points attach
to inexpensive % inch (20 millimeter (mm)) National Pipe Thread (NPT) steel drive pipe which
was available through local plumbing and hardware stores in Alaska. Also, the selected drive-
point piezometer could be driven into the ground using a manually-operated 25 pound slide
hammer. A heavy duty drive head is used to drive the piezometer on which the slide hammer
impacts. Figure 1-1 shows the piezometer installation setup using a manual slide hammer.
Groundwater samples, where available, were drawn using the Waterra inertial pumping system
(Waterra Pumps Limited, Mississauga, Ontario). The Waterra system consists of a riser tube
fitted with a one-way footvalve and tubing, which can be operated manually at shallow depths. It
is an efficient, reliable, and inexpensive pump suitable for purging and sampling groundwater
monitoring wells. The inertial pump was also suitable for smaller inner diameter (ID) drive point
well installations. In cases where neither sufficient volume nor timely recharge was available to
use the Waterra system, dedicated polyethylene bailers, cylindrical containers with monofilament
line, were used to collect well water samples. The water samples were then transferred into
suitable sample bottles as specified by the predefined analytical method for the selected
compound. Rigid Porous Polyethylene (RPP) passive samplers (ALS - Columbia, Kelso, WA)
were deployed in some locations for water collection. RPP samplers are made of thin sheets of
foam-like porous polyethylene with pore sizes of 6-20 microns. When completely filled with
water, the pores allow a water-water interface, facilitating the equilibrium of water-soluble
1-3
-------
May 2012
analytes in the groundwater adjacent to the well screen with the deionized water of the RPP.
Passive samplers generally remain deployed for a minimum of 14 days even though the analytes
of interest may equilibrate sooner. The RPP samplers yield a relatively low volume of water per
bag.
In addition to these methodologies, where water yield was insufficient, sump wells were installed
at White Mountain, Fort Yukon, and Allakaket. Sumps were constructed using a 2-foot section
of 6-inch diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. The pipe section was drilled with 1/4-inch
holes spaced one inch apart and covered with seven inch round valve boxes or five gallon
buckets which ever was available locally. This design was selected based on the materials that
would be typically available at a big-box home improvement store in Anchorage, Alaska. After
several hours following sump installation, the sumps were bailed dry. The sumps refilled with
water and were allowed to rest for 12 hours prior to taking grab samples. RPP passive samplers
were also deployed in some of these sumps. Figure 1-2 presents Shaw's 6-inch diameter sump
well design before and after auguring the permafrost for placement and capping in the ground.
Microbial indicator analyses of surface and subsurface water samples were performed using
IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (Westbrook, ME) equipment which included: Colilert® reagent,
Enterolert® reagent, Quanti-Tray®/2000, and sterile sampling bottles containing sodium
thiosulfate for chlorine removal. In the field, samples were collected in sterile 200 milliliter (mL)
wide mouth High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and upon arrival at the university
laboratory they were split into two 100 mL sterile bottles for E. coli and Enterococci analysis
separately.
1.5 Water Quality Assessment
The research team collectively performed both chemical and microbial water quality assessments
at the selected five rural landfill sites. The water quality assessments performed included
sampling and analysis for the following COCs:
1. SGS Alaska Commercial Laboratory - Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs),
Tentatively Identified Compounds (TICs), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Total Dissolved
Solids (TDS), Alkalinity, Mercury, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH).
2. UAA Applied Science, Engineering, and Technology Laboratory (ASET) - Anions
(Nitrate, Sulfate, Fluoride, Chloride, Phosphate), Cations/Metals (Priority Pollutants List,
Al, Sb, As, Be, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Pb, Mn, Mo, Ni, Se, Ag, Tl, Th, U, V, Zn except Barium
and Mercury), and Hardness.
3. UAF Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC) - Microbial indicator analysis
was performed using "most probable number" (MPN) methods consistent with EPA
protocols. The microbial indicator data were primarily collected as part of the research
conducted by Ms. Edda Mutter of UAF.

May 2012
In addition to the aforementioned laboratory water quality assessments, the tribal village officials
were provided with YSI Professional Plus field monitoring instruments to measure routine water
quality parameter data such as conductivity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and
oxidation reduction potential (ORP). After the initial SGS Alaska commercial laboratory results
indicated "non-detect" values for the listed organic contaminants, to conserve the project
funding, the later sampling events discontinued the sampling and analysis related to these
compounds. Sections 4, 5 and 6 discuss these assessments in further detail.
1.6 Ash Sampling
In addition to the water quality sampling, between March 2010 and September 2011, ash samples
derived from various waste burning operations at each site were also collected and analyzed for
metals. This sampling and analysis was performed to see if there was a relative trend in high
levels of specific metals in the ash samples in comparison to the water samples for each
community. The analysis of the ash samples was performed by EPA personnel at the EPA Test
and Evaluation (T&E) Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ash sample collection, analytical
methodology is described in Section 4.0 and the results are presented in Section 5.6.
1.7 CDC/A TSDR Health Effects Information
The CDC/ATSDR office based in Atlanta, Georgia, is a federal public health agency under the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Over the years, CDC/ATSDR has put together
a series of substance-specific factsheets or ToxFAQs™ that provide information summaries
related to hazardous substances and their health effects. It should be noted that the actual effects
of exposure to any hazardous substance depend upon various factors including: the contaminant
concentration and dose, the exposed duration, mode of exposure, personal traits and habits of the
individual exposed, and whether other chemicals are also present resulting in a combined
exposure. Section 5.0 and the attached appendices provide additional information related to the
chemical substances that were found at these sites to be above selected thresholds for
information purposes only.
1.8 Microbial Indicators
Since it is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to test directly for the presence of a large
variety of pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms), water samples are usually tested for the
presence of one or more types of microbial indicator organisms. Prior to the publication of the
1986 bacteria criteria document (EPA 1986), EPA recommended the use of fecal coliforms (FC)
as an indicator organism to protect people from gastrointestinal illness in recreational waters.
Based on the results from epidemiological studies outlined in this document, EPA recommended
the use of E. coll or Enterococci as microbial indicators for fresh recreational waters and
Enterococci for marine recreational waters because levels of these organisms more accurately
predict acute gastrointestinal illness than levels of FC. Subsequently, these organisms became the
1-5
-------
May 2012
most commonly used for microbial indication of possible sewage contamination (Ashbolt 2001).
Both E. coli and Enterococci are commonly found in human and animal excrement (feces).
Although these organisms are generally not harmful themselves, their presence serves as an
"indicator" of other disease-causing (i.e., pathogenic) microbial organisms. Exposure to
pathogenic organisms can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches,
or other symptoms. These types of exposures pose a greater health risk for infants, young
children, and people with severely compromised immune systems than for healthy humans. Both
EPA and CDC maintain an extensive database of information about specific pathogenic
organisms.

2.0 Alaska's Rural Landfills
Alaska is the largest state in the Union with 366,000,000 acres of land, and a population of
710,231 (2010 Census). Over 60% of the population lives near Fairbanks, Anchorage, or Juneau.
The other 40% are scattered throughout the state, in over 300 communities, many of which are
not connected by road and are located in diverse geographic areas ranging from maritime areas,
to open tundra, to mountainous regions. This geographic disparity presents a unique challenge to
the disposal of waste in the majority of the state.
2.1 Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Classes
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has primacy over the solid
waste program in Alaska and implements the program through Alaska Administrative Code
(AAC) found at 18 AAC 60. There are three types of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLF)
in Alaska; Class I, II and III and 18 AAC 60.300 describes the "Purpose, scope, and
applicability; classes of MSWLF"
1) Class I MSWLF is a landfill that: (A) accepts, for incineration or disposal, 20 tons or
more of municipal solid waste and other solid wastes daily, based on an annual average;
or (B) does not qualify as a Class II or Class III MSWLF;
2) Class II MSWLF is a landfill that: (A) accepts, for incineration or disposal, less than 20
tons daily of municipal solid waste and other solid wastes based on an annual average;
(B) is located on a site where there is no evidence of groundwater pollution caused or
contributed by the landfill; (C) is not connected by road to a Class I MSWLF or, if
connected by road, is located more than 50 miles from a Class I MSWLF; and (D) serves
a community
(i) that experiences, for at least three months each year, an interruption in access
to surface transportation, preventing access to a Class I MSWLF; or
(ii) with no practicable waste management alternative, with a landfill located in an
area that annually receives 25 inches or less of precipitation; and
3) Class III MSWLF is a landfill that is not connected by road to a Class I MSWLF or, if
connected by road, is located more than 50 miles from a Class I MSWLF, and that
accepts, for disposal, (A) ash from incinerated municipal waste in quantities less than one
ton daily on an annual average, which ash must be free of food scraps that might attract
animals; or (B) less than five tons daily of municipal solid waste, based on an annual
average, and is not located in a place
(i) where public access is restricted, including restrictions on the right to move to
the place and reside there; or
(ii) that is provided by an employer and that is populated totally by persons who
are required to reside there as a condition of employment and who do not
consider the place to be their permanent residence.
2-1
-------
May 2012
The surface and groundwater monitoring requirements vary depending on MSWLF class. There
are no surface water or groundwater monitoring requirements for Class II or Class III landfills in
Alaska, unless ADEC has reason to suspect a potential water quality or human health impact due
to the landfill. The State of Alaska has designated a Class III landfill category specifically to
accommodate the large proportion of rural communities. Many of these communities have less
than 500 people, but every one of these small communities has a landfill. As stated previously,
Class III landfills are more than 50 miles by road from a larger landfill or are not accessible by
road at all. Many communities are only accessible by plane or boat. All five of the communities
participating in this EPA RARE study Ekwok, Eek, White Mountain, Fort Yukon and Allakaket
are considered to be Class III landfills. Overall, there are 183 active Class III landfills in rural
Alaska, of which forty nine (49) are permitted. All five of the communities participating into this
EPA RARE study, Ekwok, Eek, White Mountain, Fort Yukon and Allakaket are considered to be
Class III landfills, and non-permitted.
2.2 Rural Solid Waste Management Practices
Effective solid waste management practices are critical to minimize the spread of potential
contamination. Rural Alaskan landfills are often operated without the knowledge and insights of
modern waste management practices. Even though knowledge gains have been made in the
recent years, several other factors such as limited revenue streams for local governments,
inability to attract and retain trained operators (i.e. heavy equipment operators), high cost of fuel,
and the absence of substantial federal and/or state government grants for facility operation and
maintenance makes it difficult to implement comprehensive waste management practices. The
landfills may be poorly managed under conditions that could include: 1) standing water or
wetland sites; 2) seasonal flooding; 3) intermittent, uncontrolled open burning on the ground
(sometimes the garbage was burned on top of standing water); 4) no site control or routine
maintenance; 5) very close proximity to villages; 6) no lining, leachate collection or treatment
systems with no understanding of the relationship between potential leachate travel direction and
drinking water sources; and 7) little or no waste separation. In the past decade or so, the State of
Alaska's Division of Environmental Health (Solid Waste Program) has developed a number of
factsheets and guidance documents for rural communities that can be downloaded directly from
their website (http://dec.alaska.gov/eh/sw/rural_AK.htm). These documents include:
1. Tips for Solid Waste Management in Rural Alaska - Suggested guidelines for burning,
burying, and recycling solid waste in rural communities.
2. Solid Waste Procedures Manual for Class III Landfills - Best Management Practices for
designing, locating, operating, and closing Class III landfills.
3. Household Hazardous Waste Collection - Guidelines for establishing and conducting
collection programs for household hazardous waste.
4. Open Burning in Rural Alaska - Best Management Practices for effective open burning.

3.0 Historic Data Review and Background Information
As mentioned in Section 1.0, Ekwok, Eek, and White Mountain were selected for the initial field
investigation in 2009, and in 2011, Fort Yukon and Allakaket were chosen as additional sites for
continuing groundwater quality investigation. These original sites were chosen based on
questionnaire responses received, and the site suitability based on the project objectives
described in Section 1.0. The following sections provide a summary of each site location. The
detailed information collected during the initial project planning stages by the RARE team is
provided in Appendix A. Additional community specific information was collected from the
Alaska Community Database Community Information Summaries (CIS). Historic well logs were
collected during the RARE survey and from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Well
Log Tracking System (WELTS).
3.1 Ekwok Site Background
The village of Ekwok is located approximately 50 miles northeast of Dillingham, Alaska at
approximately 59.349720° North latitude and -157.475280° West longitude in the Dillingham
quadrangle (Figure 3-1). The village encompasses an area of 16.0 square miles of land and 1.4
square miles of water. It has a population of approximately 115 residents. According to Census
2010, there were 51 housing units in the community of which 37 were occupied. The village is
located along the Nushagak River. Ekwok is located in a climatic transition zone which is
primarily maritime influenced. Summer temperatures range from 30 to 66°F, and average winter
temperatures range from 4 to 30°F.
Ekwok means "end of the bluff and is the oldest continuously-occupied Yup'ik Eskimo village
on the river. During the 1800s, the settlement was used in the spring and summer as a fish camp
and in the fall as a base for berry picking. By 1923, it was the largest settlement along the river.
In 1930, a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) school was constructed. Mail was delivered by dog
sled from Dillingham until a post office opened in Ekwok in 1941. Many of the earliest homes in
Ekwok were located in a low flat area near the riverbank. After a severe flood in the early 1960s,
villagers relocated to the current location on higher ground. The city was incorporated in 1974. A
federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Ekwok Village.
Individual wells provide water for the majority of the community. Twenty U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) homes have individual wells and a piped septic system.
The village operates a piped sewage system with a sewage lift station, which connects to 16
additional residences. The remaining homes use septic systems or a flush/haul system; a sewage
pumper is available. Thirty-six homes have complete plumbing. Refuse collection services are
provided. Electricity is provided by Ekwok Electric. There is one school located in the
community, attended by 16 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include Ekwok Clinic.

Emergency Services have coastal and air access. Emergency service is provided by a health aide.
Auxiliary health care is provided by Ekwok First.
The entire population depends on subsistence activities for various food sources. Salmon, pike,
moose, caribou, duck, and berries are harvested. A few residents trap. Summer gardens are also
popular, because families do not leave the village to fish for subsistence purposes. In 2010, three
residents held commercial fishing permits in Ekwok. The village corporation owns a fishing
lodge two miles downriver. Gravel is also mined near the community.
Air transport is most frequently used to reach Ekwok. Regular and charter flights are available
from Dillingham. The state-owned 3,300 foot long by 75 foot wide gravel runway was rebuilt
and lengthened in 2005. Float planes land on the Nushagak River. Cargo is brought in during ice-
free months from Dillingham by Coastal Marine Transport barge service. There are no docking
facilities, but a barge off-loading area exists. Skiffs, all terrain vehicles (ATVs), and snow
machines are used for local transportation.
The shallow domestic wells that supply water to residences are located further than one-quarter
mile removed from the landfill site. The landfill site encompasses less than one acre and is
located in an upland area approximately one-half mile northeast of the village. Based on the EPA
RARE information request, the dump site is estimated to be between 20 to 30 years old, 10 feet
deep, its dimensions are 70 yards by 40 yards, and it is located on tundra lands. The
questionnaire also indicated that the dump does not flood, nor has standing water issues.
Additionally, it is estimated that groundwater would be encountered between 20 to 32 feet below
ground surface (bgs).
The RARE well log search indicated that static water depths range from 10 to 32 feet bgs;
shallow soils consist of gravel, sand, and silt; and frozen soil depths are solid in the winter and
not encountered in the summer. A total of twelve (12) wells were identified in the well log
search. The logs show that water was typically encountered during drill at depths greater than 20
feet bgs. Historic well logs are located in Appendix A.i.
3.2 Eek Site Background
Eek is located approximately 35 miles south of Bethel, Alaska at approximately 60.218890°
North latitude and -162.024440° West longitude in the Baird quadrangle (Figure 3-2). It has a
population of approximately 318 residents. According to Census 2010, there were 101 housing
units in the community and 91 were occupied. The village is located on the south bank of the
Eek River. The village area encompasses 0.9 square miles of land and 0.1 square miles of water.
Eek is located in a marine climate. Summer temperatures range from 41 to 57°F, and winter
temperatures range from 6 to 24°F.

May 2012
The original village was located on the Apokok River, but moved to its present location in the
1930s due to flooding. A BIA school and a Moravian church were constructed at the new site.
The school is currently attended by 89 students. A post office was established in 1949. The city
was incorporated in 1970. A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Native
Village of Eek. Eek is a traditional Yup'ik Eskimo village with a subsistence lifestyle and salmon
is a dominant food source. All five Pacific salmon species spawn in the Eek River.
A state-owned 3,243 foot long by 60 foot wide gravel airstrip provides chartered and private air
access. A seaplane base is also available on the Eek River. Fishing boats, skiffs, and snow
machines are used for local transportation to Bethel and other villages. There is a one-mile gravel
road in the city. Winter trails are marked to Quinhagak (39 mi), Eek Island (15 mi), and the
Kwethluk River (45 mi). Barges deliver fuel and supplies during the summer months. A dock is
also available.
The village uses the Eek River for its primary domestic water supply source. Water is treated and
stored in a tank at the washeteria. Rain catchment systems and ice melt are also used for drinking
water. A raw sewage waste lagoon is located adjacent to the landfill; the village does not have a
sewage system. Honeybuckets are collected by the city and disposed of in the sewage lagoon.
Electricity is provided by Alaska Village Electric Cooperative. Local hospitals or health clinics
include Eek Health Clinic. Emergency Services have coastal and air access. Emergency service
is provided by a health aide.
The 18.6 acre landfill is located within view of the town in an area characterized by surface
water lagoons and tundra. Information from the RARE questionnaire indicated that the dump
was approximately 33 years old. Standing water is located at the dump year round; however, the
dump does not flood. Permafrost can be encountered at two feet bgs. Additionally, the dump
consists of two natural ponds which are approximately five feet deep.
The RARE well log search noted that static water depth ranges from 18 to 23 feet bgs; shallow
soils consist of sand and clay; and permafrost depths range from 3 to 4 feet in the summer while
it is solid in the winter. A total of two wells were identified in the well log search in the village
of Eek. The logs also show saltwater seepage at depths greater than 70 feet. Historic well logs
are located in Appendix A.ii.
3.3 White Mountain Site Background
White Mountain is located 63 miles east of Nome, Alaska at approximately 64.681390° North
latitude and -163.405560° West longitude in the Solomon quadrangle (Figure 3-3). The village
has a population of approximately 199 residents and is located on the west bank of Fish River,
near the head of the Golovin Lagoon, on the Seward Peninsula. According to Census 2010, there
3-3
-------
May 2012
were 79 housing units in the community and 65 were occupied. The city area encompasses 1.8
square miles of land and 0.2 square miles of water. White Mountain is located in a transitional
climate. Average summer temperatures range from 43 to SOT, and average winter temperatures
range from -7 to 15°F.
The Inupiat fish camp of "Nutchirviq" was located here. The bountiful resources of both the Fish
and Niukluk Rivers supported the area's Native populations. White Mountain grew after the
influx of prospectors during the gold rush of 1900. The first structure was a warehouse built by
miner Charles Lane to store supplies for his claim in the Council District. It was the site of a
government-subsidized orphanage, which became an industrial school in 1926. A post office was
opened in 1932. The city government was incorporated in 1969. A federally-recognized tribe is
located in the community — the Native Village of White Mountain. White Mountain is a
Kawerak Eskimo village, with historical influences from the gold rush. Subsistence activities are
prevalent.
Access to White Mountain is by air and sea. There are no roads. The 3,000 foott long by 60 foot
wide gravel runway is operated by the state, and scheduled flights are available daily from
Nome. There is no dock in the village; supplies are lightered from Nome and offloaded on the
beach. Cargo barges cannot land at White Mountain.
The village obtains its domestic water supply from groundwater wells located in the village near
the Fish River. The water is treated prior to consumption. Forty-eight (48) households and
facilities are connected to the piped water and sewer system. Eighteen (18) additional households
haul honeybuckets. The school operates its own water and sewer system. Electricity is provided
by White Mountain Utilities. There is one school located in the community. Local hospitals or
health clinics include Natchirsvik Health Clinic. Emergency Services have river and air access.
Emergency service is provided by a health aide.
The 2-acre landfill is located on the other side of a ridge east of the village and north of the river,
in an upland area. According to the RARE information, the landfill is approximately 30 years old
and 300 feet by 300 feet with plans of expansion to the west by 100 feet. The site is characterized
by shallow limestone bedrock which is encountered at approximately five feet bgs. Waste is
piled in the landfill and is approximately 15 feet high along the fence lines. Standing water
occurs during break-up and heavy precipitation events and flows as sheet flow. Additionally,
where trash is piled, water will drain out of the waste to the east/southeast.
The RARE well log search noted that static water depths range from 25 to 90 feet bgs; shallow
soils consist of silt and gravel; and permafrost depths are solid in the winter and at least eight feet
in the summer. A total of two wells were identified in the village of White Mountain. The logs
also show that the silt and gravel are underlain by limestone which has been encountered at
3-4
-------
May 2012
depths as shallow as 3 feet bgs. Water was encountered in the fractured limestone at depths
greater than 20 feet bgs. Historic well logs are located in Appendix A.iii.
3.4 Fort Yukon Site Background
Fort Yukon is located approximately 145 air miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska at
approximately 66.564720° North latitude and -145.273890° West longitude in the Fort Yukon
quadrangle (Figure 3-4). Fort Yukon is located near the confluence of the Yukon and Porcupine
Rivers. The community population is approximately 600 residents. According to Census 2010,
there were 325 housing units in the community and 246 were occupied. The city area
encompasses 7.0 square miles of land and 0.4 square miles of water. Fort Yukon is characterized
by long, harsh winters, and short, warm summers with average minimum temperatures below 0°
for most of November through March. Summer highs range from 65 to 72°F.
Fort Yukon was founded in 1847 by Alexander Murray as a Canadian outpost in Russian
territory. It became an important trade center for the Gwich'in Indians, who inhabited the vast
lowlands of the Yukon Flats and River valleys. The Hudson Bay Company, a British trading
company, operated at Fort Yukon from 1846 until 1869. In 1862, a mission school was
established. In 1867, Alaska was purchased by the U.S., and, two years later, it was determined
that Fort Yukon was on American soil. Moses Mercier, a trader with the Alaska Commercial
Company, took over operation of the Fort Yukon Trading Post. A post office was established in
1898. The fur trade of the 1800s, the whaling boom on the Arctic coast (1889-1904), and the
Klondike Gold Rush spurred economic activity and provided some economic opportunities for
the Natives. However, major epidemics of introduced diseases struck the Fort Yukon population
from the 1860s until the 1920s. In 1949, a flood damaged or destroyed many homes in Fort
Yukon. During the 1950s, a White Alice Communications System and an Air Force station were
established. Fort Yukon incorporated as a city in 1959.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Native Village of Fort Yukon; the
Canyon Village Traditional Council is also located in the community; however, it is not
federally-recognized. Most Fort Yukon residents are descendants of the Yukon Flats, Chandalar
River, Birch Creek, Black River, and Porcupine River Gwich'in Athabascan tribes. Subsistence
is an important component of the local culture.
Fort Yukon is accessible by air year-round and by barge during the summer months. Heavy
cargo is brought in by barge from the end of May through mid-September; there is a barge off-
loading area but no dock. Riverboats and skiffs are used for recreation, hunting, fishing, and
other subsistence activities. A state-owned 5,810 foot long by 150 foot wide lighted gravel
airstrip is available; Hospital Lake, adjacent to the airport, is used by float planes. There are 17
miles of local roads and over 100 automobiles and trucks. The city transit bus system provides
5-5
-------
May 2012
transport throughout the town. Snow machines and dog sleds are used on area trails or the frozen
river, which becomes an ice road to area villages during winter.
Water is supplied by two wells to residents' homes in a piped system. It is treated prior to
consumption and stored in a 110,000-gallon tank. Sewer flows through piping to lift stations in
the town and is pumped to lagoons located approximately 1.5 miles east of town. The landfill
encompasses approximately 4 acres and is bordered by an allotment to the south, a lowland area
stretching from the south to the north on the western side, filled and covered sewage lagoons (no
longer in use), and a stand of mixed forest (aspen and spruce) on the eastern side. Based on
observations made from the site visit, the landfill is located along the edge of an old river bank
25-50 feet higher than the lowland area. It appeared that debris had been pushed over this edge
onto the lowland. At the base of the landfill, a semi-dense stand of scrub willow exists. The
majority of this stand of trees, extending a distance of 50-100 feet from the landfill, has died but
was still standing. Fort Yukon's landfill is listed for closure, and it had been covered with gravel
prior to project implementation.
A total of seven (7) wells have been identified in Fort Yukon using the Alaska Well Log
Tracking System (WELTS). Well logs indicate that silt, sand, and gravel should be encountered
at depths up to 150 feet bgs and are underlain by lacustrine silts. Water was encountered during
drilling at depths ranging from 13 to 24 feet bgs. Top of permafrost depths were noted as ranging
from 30 to 32 feet bgs. Historic well logs are located in Appendix A.iv.
3.5 Allakaket Site Background
Allakaket is located approximately 190 miles northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska at approximately
66.562610° North latitude and -152.647560° West longitude in the Settles quadrangle (Figure 3-
5). It has a population of approximately 100 and is located on the south bank of the Koyukuk
River. According to Census 2010, there were 58 housing units in the community and 44 were
occupied. The city encompasses 3.6 square miles of land and 0.7 square miles of water.
Allakaket is characterized by a cold, continental climate with extreme temperature differences.
Temperatures range from -40°F to 70°F.
Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk,
Selawik, and Nunamiut Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several
camps throughout the year, moving as the seasons changed, following the wild game and fish.
The various bands established joint settlements after 1851. The old site of Alatna was a
traditional trading center for Athabascans and Eskimos. The first mission on the Koyukuk River,
St. John's-in-the-Wilderness Episcopal Mission, was established in 1906. A post office was
opened in 1925. In 1938, the name of the community was changed to Allakaket (the old name for
the mission), and the name Alatna was assumed by the small Eskimo community across the
river. The village of Alatna has a population of approximately 30. The first public school was
-------
May 2012
established in 1957. A flood caused by ice jamming inundated 85% of the community in the
Spring of 1964. In 1975, the community incorporated as a city, including both settlements of
Allakaket and Alatna. A clinic and airport were built in 1978. A new school and community
roads were built in 1979. In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all
of the community's buildings, homes, and food caches for the winter. Residents rebuilt near the
old city site, but some new homes and facilities are now located outside of the incorporated city
boundaries. New Allakaket and Alatna are located outside of the city limits.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Allakaket Village. Allakaket is
mainly an Athabascan community; Kobuk Eskimos live across the river in Alatna. Two separate
village councils exist. Traditional potlatches, dances and foot races attract visitors from area
villages. Subsistence activities provide the majority of food sources.
Allakaket has no road link, but winter trails connect it with Hughes, Settles, and Tanana. River
transportation is important in summer, but there is no commercial barge access due to shallow
water. A state-owned 4,000 foot long by 100 foot wide gravel runway is accessible year-round.
A $6 million airport improvement began construction in 1997.
Most public facilities were severely damaged in the 1994 Koyukuk River flood. Major
components have been replaced — a washeteria, well and treatment plant, 100,000-gallon water
storage tank, sewage lagoon, and force main have been completed. The lagoon is connected to
the washeteria and school. Residents carry treated water and haul honeybuckets or use pit
privies; no households have plumbing. Electricity is provided by Alaska Power Company. There
is one school located in the community, attended by 41 students. Local hospitals or health clinics
include Allakaket Health Clinic. Allakaket Health Clinic is a Primary Health Care facility with
river and air access.
The 2-acre landfill is shared by both communities and is located on the Allakaket side of the
river. It is approximately 0.75 miles south from New Allakaket in a spruce wooded upland area
along a ridge. The site is characterized by shallow permafrost around the landfill.
A total of six (6) wells were identified in Allakaket using WELTS. Well logs indicate that silt
and gravel were encountered at depths up to 70 feet bgs where bedrock was then encountered.
Water was encountered during drilling at depths greater than 20 feet bgs. Historic well logs are
located in Appendix A.v.

4.0 Field Investigation
The field investigation was conducted by Shaw with assistance from UAA from 2009 through
2011 under EPA Contract No. EP-C-09-041 (Work Assignments No. 0-07, 1-07, and 2-07). The
objectives of this effort were to install groundwater monitoring piezometers around the selected
villages' landfills in order to collect groundwater and surface water samples for analysis of the
contaminants of concern (COCs) as chosen with input and guidance from the research
collaborators identified previously in Section 1.2. Where conditions allowed, the Monitoring
Well Point Installation and Initial Sampling Plan (MWPIISP) was followed; deviations are
explained in Section 4.2. The COCs identified, analytes, and parameters that were proposed
included the following in Table 4-1: Analytical Methodologies.

The analyte list was reduced by removing the SVOCs and TPH due to limited sample volume
availability in the shallow piezometers following the 2009 field event. A priority on sampling for
metals was also put in place. Samples were analyzed for Total Metals. Samples collected by
UAA were also analyzed for Dissolved Metals. Dissolved Metals samples were filtered through a
0.45 micron filter in the field.
Microbial indicator analysis was performed using the MPN method which is consistent with the
EPA protocol (using IDEXX equipment and reagents - Colilert® for E. coli, and Enterolert® for
4-1

Enterococcf). The MPN technique is used to estimate live and active microbial population
density in situations where it is not possible to determine the exact population density.
Tribal village coordinators managed the collection and shipment of ash samples from dump sites
in 2010 and 2011 for analysis at the EPA T&E Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ash shipments were
processed by randomly selecting portions of the ash throughout the shipping container excluding
metal screws and parts. The ash was then placed in a 3" watch glass for drying in an oven at 105
degrees Celsius overnight. The ash samples were then ground with motor and pestle to provide
uniform consistency. Trace metal concentrated Nitric Acid (10 mL) was then added to 0.5 grams
of ground ash for digestion in a microwave digester using EPA Method 3051. In addition, trace
metal concentrated Nitric Acid (10 mL) was added to 0.5 grams of NIST standard #2710 as a
standard reference material to determine analytical accuracy. Digested samples (10 mL) were
centrifuged at 2,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) for 10 minutes. Pipettes were used to remove
supernatant from the centrifuged samples to dilute samples for Inductively Coupled Plasma
Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. The diluted samples (14 mL) were
analyzed on a Perkin Elmer Optima Model 2100 DV-ICP OES to determine the metal content
using an 18 metal standard with manufacturer recommended detection limits.
4.1 Premobilization Activities
Premobilization activities performed by Shaw consisted of developing a Health and Safety Plan
(HASP), a Monitoring Well Point Installation and Initial Sampling Plan (MWPIISP), and a
Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP); selecting analytical laboratories; and coordinating site
activities with the village contacts.
Shaw personnel prepared a project-specific HASP for the field work. The HASP preparation
included a thorough review of the MWPIISP to assure that all of the aspects of the MWPIISP
were covered in the updated HASP. Shaw's revised HASP was used and referenced throughout
the project by Shaw employees. Shaw personnel reviewed the updated HASP prior to
mobilization and before commencing any field activities. Daily Safety Meetings were conducted
and documented during field visits. Job safety analysis sheets were completed during field visits.
All Shaw employees that performed planning or field activities under this project were
familiarized with the HASP and signed the HASP acknowledgement form.
Shaw's field team documented all piezometer well installation and groundwater sampling
activities. Field logs are provided in Appendix B.
4.2 Field Investigation
A total of 16 piezometers and six (6) sumps were installed in the villages of Ekwok, Eek, White
Mountain, Fort Yukon, and Allakaket. Three (3) piezometers were installed in Ekwok; four
piezometers in Eek; two (2) piezometers and two (2) sumps in White Mountain; four (4)
4-2
-------
May 2012
piezometers and two (2) sumps in Fort Yukon; and three (3) piezometers and two (2) sumps in
Allakaket.
When pre-drilling was attempted (before driving the probe) using a 2-inch solid flight auger and
Roto-hammer, the torque on the auger was too great to render the operation safe (and was hence
discontinued). In addition, the potential depth of the piezometer was reduced because the fittings
used to connect were damaged by hand-driving with the slide hammer. This resulted in limiting
the number of extensions that could be added to reach the preferred depth.
As mentioned previously in Section 1.4, hand-installation of shallow piezometers using a Solinst
Probe System and Waterra Water Sampling System were proposed for the subject sites due to
their remote locations and the expense involved in mobilizing drilling equipment. A slide
hammer was used to drive 3/t-inch steel pipe connected to a stainless steel screened probe into the
ground. Refusal was typically encountered within 10 feet bgs at Ekwok, Eek, and White
Mountain. At Fort Yukon and Allakaket, refusal was typically encountered 1 to 2 feet bgs where
permafrost was encountered.
Hand-installation of shallow piezometers using a Solinst Probe System could be effective in
areas with shallow groundwater (less than 10 feet bgs) and in areas without subsurface
permafrost or gravel/cobbles. It is suggested that more resilient pipe and fitting material be
considered for subsequent hand-driven piezometer installation or a different approach taken to
acquire groundwater where shallow permafrost is found.
Typically, when water was observed in a piezometer, there was neither sufficient quantity nor
timely recharge to use the Waterra inertial system. Therefore, dedicated polyethylene bailers and
a monofilament line were used to bring water to the surface. Where sufficient volume and
recovery allowed, the piezometers and sumps were purged prior to sampling by Shaw; Eek
piezometers EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02 and Fort Yukon piezometers FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02,
and FYUPZ-04 all allowed for purging one well volume prior to sampling. FYUPZ-04 was the
only piezometer which continuously recharged. In general, water volumes were limited and
samples were collected without purging.
RPP passive samples were deployed in order to collect surface water runoff from the sumps in
White Mountain, Allakaket, and Fort Yukon. When collected, the samplers were dry for all of
the locations except Fort Yukon. Therefore, the only location where RPP samples were collected
was from FYUSUMP-01 and FYUSUMP-02 in August 2011.
Standard water quality parameters including temperature, pH, conductivity, DO, and ORP were
noted on the field forms. Turbidity was not recorded on the field forms; however, all of the
4-3
-------
May 2012
samples collected by Shaw, with the exception of samples from FYUPZ-04, could be considered
turbid samples with heavy sedimentation.
Surface water sampling for the microbial indicators focused on sampling at sites in the vicinity
of the landfill including: the landfill itself, 1 to 50 meters down gradient of the landfill, 50 to
5,000 meters down gradient of the landfill, and non-waste impacted sites (i.e., control sites).
Subsurface water for microbial analysis was also obtained from the groundwater monitoring
piezometers when sufficient amount of water was present. For each microbial sampling location,
the field samples were collected in sterile 200 mL wide mouth FIDPE bottles.
The following sections describe the field and sampling activities at each site.
4.2.1 Ekwok
Based on a reconnaissance of the landfill and surrounding area, the groundwater gradient beneath
the site was not obviously apparent. Three (3) piezometers were installed (EKWPZ01,
EKWPZ02 and EKWPZ03) in lower lying areas to the north and east of the landfill where it was
suspected that water could be present during periods of high groundwater in the late fall or
breakup (spring). Due to the presence of cobbles, hand-driving the probe was limited to 10 feet
or less at this site. It appeared that the screened intervals of the 3 piezometers were higher than
the groundwater elevation during installation on September 9-10, 2009. Piezometer installation
was attempted to the south of the landfill, but refusal was experienced within less than 5-feet bgs.
One probe screen was abandoned in this area.
The piezometers at Ekwok were sampled for the COCs by village contacts and UAF as water
was available (Table 4-2). Additionally, a total of 6 control samples, 7 landfill (dump) surface
water samples, 5 surface water samples from less than 50 meters downgradient of the landfill, 7
surface water samples from between 50 and 5,000 meters downgradient of the landfill, and 2
subsurface (piezometer) samples were collected for microbial analysis.
Figure 4-1 illustrates Ekwok landfill site map with the piezometer and surface sample locations
for microbial indicators. As described previously in Section 3.1, the main sources of drinking
water for the community are shallow drinking water wells which are scattered around the
community mainly located south of the state-owned gravel runway/airstrip and roughly 4,000
feet away from the landfill. Approximate locations of some of these wells are depicted in Figure
4-1. Table 4-2 presents a summary of the samples collected at Ekwok. The piezometer logs and
site photographs are included in Appendix B.i.

4.2.2 Eek
Based on a reconnaissance of the landfill, the groundwater system was determined to be complex
and influenced by tides, permafrost, surface water, and topography. Due to the presence of
permafrost or other subsurface conditions, refusal was experienced within less than 10 feet bgs.
Four (4) piezometers were installed around the landfill and lagoon on September 11, 2009. All of
the piezometers produced water; however, only two produced enough water to allow collection
of samples (EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02) in 2009. Samples were collected using dedicated bailers
and were analyzed for total metals (including mercury) and selected anions. The piezometers at
Eek were sampled for the COCs by Shaw at initial installation and UAF or village contacts in
2011 as water was available (Table 4-3). Additionally, a total of 8 control samples, 15 landfill
(dump) surface water samples, 5 surface water samples from less than 50 meters downgradient
of the landfill, 13 surface water samples from between 50 and 5,000 meters downgradient of the
landfill, and 2 subsurface (piezometer) samples were collected for microbial analysis.
Figure 4-2 illustrates Eek landfill site map with the piezometer and surface water sample
locations. As described previously in Section 3.2, the community uses the Eek River as its main
source of drinking water. However, the well log search indicated two wells at the BIA School
which is potentially another major source of drinking water and is closer to the landfill (roughly
1,100 feet away). The approximate location of these wells is depicted in Figure 4-1. Table 4-3
presents a summary of the samples collected at Eek. The piezometer logs and site photographs
are included in Appendix B.ii.

4.2.3 White Mountain
The site is characterized by shallow limestone. Consequently, refusal was experienced less than
10 feet bgs. Two (2) piezometers were installed on September 18, 2009, but it appeared that the
screens were above the elevation of groundwater. In an effort to capture potential runoff from the
landfill, an alternate method was employed in May 2011. A motorized two-man earth auger was
used for installation of the sumps at White Mountain. This facilitated installation in breakup (still
frozen ground) conditions. Two sumps were installed, one up gradient and one down gradient,
around the exterior of the landfill. The up gradient location was located near the head of a
shallow depression outside of the fenced area but approximately in line with the trench inside the
landfill area and the drainage ditch leaving it. The down gradient sump was located near the
drainage ditch leaving the landfill in the same area as WMT PZ-01.
Sumps were constructed out of a 2 foot by six inch diameter piece of PVC pipe and a seven inch
round valve box for a cover. Each hole was augered until refusal occurred, approximately 16
inches below ground surface. Subsurface water was noted in the holes at time of installation and
within an hour had filled with water, within 3 inches of the surface. After several hours following
sump installation, the sumps were bailed dry. The sumps refilled with water and were allowed to
rest for 12 hours prior to taking grab samples and deployment of RPP Samplers. It was noted
during installation that White Mountain staff may consider returning to the sumps later in the
summer and installing them deeper as the ground should be thawed to a lower depth. This would
facilitate installation of the sumps using hand shovels and not necessitate an earth auger.
The piezometers at White Mountain did not produce water volume for sampling. Two sumps
were installed and sampled for the COCs by UAF or village contacts in 2011 as water was
available. Water draining out of the landfill was also sampled. Additionally, a total of 4 control
samples, 12 landfill (dump) surface water samples, 2 surface water samples from between 50 and
5,000 meters downgradient of the landfill, and 1 subsurface (piezometer) sample were collected
for microbial analysis.
Figure 4-3 illustrates White Mountain landfill site map with the piezometer, sump, and surface
water sample locations. As described previously in Section 3.3, the main sources of drinking

water for the community are groundwater water wells which are located within the community
close to Fish River roughly 1,700 feet away from the landfill. Approximate locations of some of
these wells are depicted in Figure 4-3. Table 4-4 presents a summary of the samples collected at
Eek. The piezometer logs and site photographs are included in Appendix B.iii.

4.2.4 Fort Yukon
A total of four (4) piezometers were installed around the landfill (FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02,
FYUPZ-03, and FYUPZ-04) in June 2010. Three (3) (FYUPZ-01 through FYUPZ-03) along the
entire western side from the south near the allotment border to the furthest up gradient position
on the north but not in the area of the old lagoons. The final piezometer (FYUPZ-04) was placed
on the upland level of the landfill near an area that was said to normally have standing water.
Permafrost was encountered within 14 inches along the western side with refusal around one foot
into the permafrost. The area around FYUPZ-01 and FYUPZ-02 was noted as being wet and the
holes where the organic mat was removed filled with water. Water was found in these two
piezometers. FYUPZ-03 was placed in among live willow trees where the ground was
considerably drier. No water was found in this piezometer, but it is expected during wetter times
of the year.
Two attempts were made to place a piezometer at FYUPZ-04, with the second attempt being
successful. This first attempt failed after driving the point a total of 16 feet and encountering
refusal. When driving, it was noted that the pipe had begun slanting after three feet. After refusal,
the pipe could only be retracted a few inches. A bailer was sent down the piezometer, but it
would only go to a depth of 12 feet. When the bailer came back filled with water and sand, it was
believed that the first coupling had failed and the pipe had filled with sand in the area of the first
coupling four feet above the well point. This well was then sealed and abandoned. The second
attempt was made two feet away from the first and was successful.
Based on lessons learned during the sump installation at the White Mountain site, Ms. Edda
Mutter of UAF installed two sump wells at this site in August 2011. The sumps were constructed
of available materials including an embedded bucket with RPP filters to collect the surface water
samples.
Samples were collected using dedicated bailers from FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02, FYUPZ-04, and
the surface water on the western side in 2010 by Shaw. In 2011, UAF and the village contact
conducted additional sampling for the COCs (Table 4-5). Additionally, a total of 7 control
samples, 7 surface water samples from less than 50 meters downgradient of the landfill, 6 surface
water samples from between 50 and 5,000 meters downgradient of the landfill, and 6 subsurface
(piezometer) samples were collected for microbial analysis.
Figure 4-4 illustrates Fort Yukon landfill site map with the piezometer, sump, and surface water
sample locations. As described previously in Section 3.4, water is supplied by two wells to
residents' homes in a piped system. A new water system was built at Fort Yukon and the intake
location of the new system is also depicted in Figure 4-4. This new intake is roughly 8,100 feet

During the monitoring well installation efforts, refusal was experienced less than two feet bgs
with permafrost at one to two feet bgs. Three (3) piezometers (AETPZ-01, AETPZ-02, and
AETPZ-03) were installed in July 2010 on the outside of the fence surrounding the landfill.
Piezometers AETPZ-01 and AETPZ-02 were installed on the southern side and AETPZ-03 on
the eastern side. In addition, two (2) sumps (AETSUMP-01 and AETSUMP-02) were also
installed during the visit. These consisted of new, clean 5 gallon plastic buckets with lids. A
series of holes were drilled into the buckets to allow water to collect inside. AETSUMP-01 was
located outside the fence on the northern side and AETSUMP-02 was located inside the fence on
the southern end of the landfill away from the standing water but near enough to fill with water.
The piezometers and sumps installed at Allakaket were sampled for the COCs by UAA or village
contacts in 2011 (Table 4-6). Additionally, a total of 7 control samples, 9 landfill surface water
samples, 6 piezometer groundwater samples, and 4 sump surface water samples were collected
for microbial analysis.
Figure 4-5 illustrates Allakaket landfill site map with the piezometer locations and the sampling
locations for microbial indicators. As described previously in Section 3.5, the main water source
is a well and water treatment plant with a 100,000 gallon water storage tank. The well intake
location of this system is depicted in Figure 4-5. This intake is roughly 7,100 feet away from the
landfill. Table 4-6 presents a summary of the samples collected at Eek. The piezometer logs and
site photographs are included in Appendix B.v.

5.0 Intrusive Field Study Results
Findings from the investigative tasks including the analytical results are presented below for
each site. Appendix C contains the initial SGS Analytical Laboratory Reports. Analytical results
were compared to the EPA drinking water maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) including both
the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) and the National Secondary
Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWR). NPDWRs are legally enforceable standards that apply to
public water systems. NSDWRs are non-enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that
may cause cosmetic or aesthetic effects in drinking water. Additionally, they were compared to
the Alaska Water Quality Criteria Manual for Toxic and Other Deleterious Organic and
Inorganic Substances. These standards were identical to the EPA NPDWRs list. In general the
Alaska standards are comparable to the NPDWRs.
The ATSDR ToxFAQs™ and CDC Drinking Water from Private Wells fact sheets were also
used as references for information purposes for understanding the toxicological effects of
selected compounds in the event there was an exposure to these compounds. These references
are located in Appendix D for each of the COCs identified which exceed either the NPDWRs or
the NSDWRs.
The analytical results were also compared to the EPA's 1988 Municipal Landfill Leachate Data-
Indicator Parameters and Inorganic Compounds table (Gray, Koerner, and Qian, 1988). These
ranges represent maximum and minimum concentrations for the indicator parameters reported at
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. Additionally, ADEC provided data from the drinking water
source in each village following treatment. This data is included in Tables 5-1 through 5-5 for
each site as a comparison. Where more than one sample was provided, the sample with the
highest concentration was used in the tables for comparison.
The microbial samples were split upon arrival at the university laboratory into 100 mL sterile
bottles to perform three replications for E. coli and Enterococci analysis separately. The target
organism specific reagents (Colilert® and Enterolert®) were added into the respective 100 mL
sample bottles. The reagent containing samples were dispensed into individual Quanti-Tray/2000
trays, sealed, and incubated at 35 degree Celsius for Coliform/E1. coli samples and at 41 degree
Celsius for Enterococcus samples for 24 - 28 hours. A 6-watt, 365 nanometer (nm) ultraviolet
(UV) light was used to determine the count of numbers for positive wells of the Quanti-
Tray/2000, and MPN numbers were derived from those counts using tables provided by IDEXX.
The Quanti-Tray/2000 is designed to automatically provide counts of up to 2,419 organisms per
100 mL without dilutions.
5-1
-------
May 2012
Statistical Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the statistical significant
differences between the Log MPN values of microbial indicators observed in the surface and
subsurface water samples compared to control samples.
The community-specific E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indicator results from the collected
surface and subsurface waters were compared to EPA's recommended water quality criteria for
these bacteria in recreational and fresh waters (EPA 2004). These recommended water quality
criteria specify a geometric mean of 126 per 100 mL for E. coli and a geometric mean of 33 per
100 mL for Enterococci microbial organism (See Appendix E Table 1). Despite EPA
recommendations, the State of Alaska continues to follow the older FC bacteria standards as well
(Appendix E Table 2). The Alaska regulatory standards for secondary recreational waters are set
levels for a monthly period with a geometric mean of 200 FC per 100 mL, and not more than 10
percentage of the total sample may exceed 400 FC per 100 mL (18 AAC 70).
Note: Exceedances of these standards does not represent any immediate danger to the
community as it is reasonably expected that individuals are not directly exposed to these
contaminants at the levels found in the samples at the dump sites. Additionally, there is no
evidence that these contaminants have migrated to the community drinking water sources at
these levels.
5.1 Ekwok
A total of 14 samples were collected from piezometers EKWPZ-01, EKW-PZ-02, and EKWPZ-
03 in Ekwok from April 2010 through August 2011. Analysis included mercury, cations
(metals), anions, alkalinity, TDS, TOC, TPH, and hardness. Results are presented in Table 5-1.
Groundwater analytical results exceeded NPDWRs for beryllium in EKWPZ-01, chromium in
EKWPZ-02, and lead in EKWPZ-01, EKWPZ-02, and EKWPZ-03. NSDWRs were exceeded
for aluminum, iron, and manganese in all three piezometers. Zinc exceeded the NSDWR in
EKWPZ-01 and EKWPZ-03.
EPA leachate ranges were exceeded for aluminum in five samples. None of the other parameters
exceeded the maximum concentrations reported. Multiple samples were less than the minimum
concentrations reported.
Microbial data were divided into Spring and Fall samples for both the E. coli and Enterococcus
samples. Spring samples were collected on April 26, 2010 and May 2, 2011. Fall samples were
collected on September 30, 2010 and August 23, 2011. During the September 30, 2010 sampling
event, standing surface water sampling was limited and subsurface water in the piezometers was
frozen; therefore, overall sampling was limited.
5-2
-------
May 2012
E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms were found to be present and statistically
significant in all of the Spring and Fall samples collected from the dump samples, subsurface
samples, and samples less than 50 meters from the dump. Only Spring samples collected
between 50 to 5,000 meters from the dump site indicated the presence of E. coli and
Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms. The EPA standard for E. coli was exceeded in 7
samples. The EPA standard for Enterococcus was exceeded in 8 samples. The microbial data is
presented in Appendix F.i.
Analytical results from the WM Nelson School (AK2260171) are also provided in Table 5-1 for
comparison. Concentrations for copper exceed NPDWRs. No other samples exceed MCLS;
however, samples were not analyzed for all of the parameters included in this study. Aluminum,
iron, manganese, and zinc exceeded NPDWRs in the piezometer samples, but were not tested for
in the drinking water. Microbial data was collected for E. coli and coliform. Concentrations were
reported as zero.
5.2 Eek
A total of 8 samples were collected from piezometers EEKPZ-01, EEKPZ-02, and EEKPZ-03 in
Eek from September 2009 through September 2011. No samples were collected from EEKPZ-
04. Analysis included mercury, cations (metals), anions, alkalinity, hardness, and TOC. Results
are presented in Table 5-2.
Groundwater analytical results exceeded the NPDWRs for arsenic in EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02;
beryllium in EEKPZ-01; cadmium in EEKPZ-01; chromium in EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02; and
lead in EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02. No NPDWR were exceeded in EEKPZ-03. NSDWRs were
exceeded for aluminum, iron, and manganese in all three piezometers. Zinc exceeded the
NSDWR in EEKPZ-02 and EEKPZ-03.
EPA leachate ranges were exceeded for aluminum in five samples. None of the other parameters
exceeded the maximum concentrations reported. Multiple samples were less than the minimum
concentrations reported.
Cumulative E. coli and Enterococcus microbial data were obtained from the Spring and Fall
sampling events. Spring samples were collected on April 29, 2010 and May 6, 2011. Fall
samples were collected on August 26, 2009, October 7, 2010, and August 17, 2011. Abundant
surface water was present for sampling in Eek; however, during the April 29, 2010 and October
7, 2010 sampling events, the majority of the surface water was frozen which limited sampling.
During the May 6, 2011 sampling event, snowmelt runoff water was also collected.
E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms were found to be present in all of the
surface water samples; however, they were only statistically significant in the Spring and Fall

samples collected from the dump surface water samples compared to controls. E. coli and
Enterococcus were not found in any of the subsurface water samples. The EPA standard for E.
coli was exceeded in 3 samples collected from the dump surface water. The EPA standard for
Enterococcus was exceeded in 5 samples collected from the dump surface water. The microbial
data is presented in Appendix F.ii.
Analytical results from the Eek Water System (AK2270281) are also provided in Table 5-2 for
comparison. None of the concentrations exceed NPDWRs or NSDWRs. Samples from the
drinking water were not analyzed for all of the parameters included in this study. Aluminum,
beryllium, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc exceeded NPDWRs in the piezometer samples, but
were not tested for in the drinking water. Microbial data was collected for E. coli and coliform.
Concentrations were reported as zero.
5.3 White Mountain
No samples were collected from the two piezometers located in White Mountain, WMTPZ-01
and WMTPZ-02. One sample was collected from the landfill drainage, and two samples were
collected from the White Mountain sumps, WMOSUMP-01 and WMOSUMP-02. Analysis for
the landfill drainage included mercury, cations (metals), and VOCs. Analysis for the sump
samples included cations (metals), anions, and TOC. Results are presented in Table 5-3.
Groundwater analytical results exceeded NPDWRs for lead in the landfill drainage. No other
results exceeded NPDWRs. All VOCs were non-detect. NSDWRs were exceeded for aluminum
and iron in the landfill drainage sample and sump samples. Manganese results exceeded the
NSDWR in both sump samples.
EPA leachate ranges were exceeded for aluminum in one sample. None of the other parameters
exceeded the maximum concentrations reported. Multiple samples were less than the minimum
concentrations reported.
Microbial samples were collected in the Spring only Snowmelt runoff and standing water
samples were obtained on May 17, 2010 and May 26, 2011. Samples were collected from
snowmelt runoff and standing surface water, and from the WMOSUMP-01 during the May 26,
2011 sampling event.
E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms were found to be present in all of the
surface and subsurface water samples; however, a statistical significance were only detected for
dump surface water and less than 50 meters from the dump samples compared to controls. The
EPA standard for E. coli was exceeded in 4 samples collected from the dump surface water and
less than 50 meters from the dump. The EPA standard for Enterococcus was exceeded in 4

samples collected from the dump surface water and less than 50 meters from the dump. The
microbial data is presented in Appendix F.iii.
Analytical results from the White Mountain Water System (AK2340507) are also provided in
Table 5-3 for comparison. Cation (metal) analysis was not performed for drinking water samples.
Microbial data was collected for E. coli and coliform. Concentrations were reported as zero.
5.4 Fort Yukon
A total of 20 samples were collected from the four piezometers FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02,
FYUPZ-03, and FYUPZ-04; two sumps FYUSUMP-01 and FYUSUMP-02; and the seep at the
front of the landfill FYUSP-01 located in Fort Yukon. Analysis for the samples included
mercury, cations (metals), anions, alkalinity, TDS, TOC, SVOCs, hardness, and TPH. Results
are presented in Table 5-4.
Groundwater analytical results exceeded NPDWRs for arsenic in FYUPZ-01 and FYUPZ-02;
beryllium in FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-04, and FYUSUMP-02; cadmium in FYUPZ-01; chromium in
FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02, and FUSUMP-02; lead in FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-02, FYUPZ-03,
FYUPZ-04, FYUSUMP-01, and FYUSUMP-02; uranium in FYUPZ-04; fluoride in FYUPZ-02;
and nitrate in FYUSP-01. NSDWRs were exceeded for aluminum, iron, and manganese in the
piezometer, sump, and seep samples. Zinc exceeded the NSDWR in FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-03, and
FYUSUMP-01. Chloride and sulfate exceeded the NSDWR in FYUPZ-01, FYUPZ-03, and
FYUSP-01. VOC and PAH results were all non-detect.
EPA leachate ranges were exceeded for aluminum in six samples and for sulfate in one sample.
None of the other parameters exceeded the maximum concentrations reported. Multiple samples
were less than the minimum concentrations reported.
Microbial samples were collected on June 22, 2010, May 23, 2011, and August 19, 2011.
Because Fort Yukon's landfill is listed for closure, it had been covered with gravel prior to
project implementation; therefore, surface water samples from the dump were not collected. All
surface water samples were collected less than 50 meters from the dump or between 50 and
5,000 meters from the dump. Additionally, subsurface water samples were collected.
E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms were found to be present in all of the
surface water samples. Only Enterococcus microbial indicator organisms were found to be
present in the subsurface water samples. The only statistically significant E. coli and
Enterococcus samples were detected in the samples collected from less than 50 meters from the
dump site compared to control samples. The EPA standard for E. coli was exceeded in 1 sample
collected from less than 50 meters from the dump. The EPA standard for Enterococcus was
5-5
-------
May 2012
exceeded in 2 samples collected from less than 50 meters from the dump. The microbial data is
presented in Appendix F.iv.
Analytical results from the Fort Yukon Public Water System (AK2360256) are also provided in
Table 5-4 for comparison. None of the concentrations exceed NPDWRs or NSDWRs. Samples
from the drinking water were not analyzed for all of the parameters included in this study.
Aluminum, chromium, iron, lead, manganese, uranium, and zinc exceeded NPDWRs in the
piezometer and/or sump samples, but were not tested for in the drinking water. Chloride and
sulfate exceed NSDWRs and were not tested for in the drinking water also. Microbial data was
collected for E. coli and coliform. Concentrations were reported as zero.
5.5 Allakaket
A total of 5 samples were collected from the three piezometers, AETPZ-01, AETPZ-02, AETPZ-
03, and two sumps, AETSUMP-01 and AETSUMP-02, in Allakaket. Analysis for the samples
included cations (metals), anions, alkalinity, hardness, and TOC. Results are presented in Table
5-5.
Groundwater analytical results exceeded NPDWRs for beryllium in AEKPZ-02, chromium in
AEKPZ-01, lead in all three piezometers, and nitrate in AEKPZ-02. NSDWRs were exceeded for
aluminum in the three piezometers and AETSUMP-01, iron in all of the sample locations,
manganese in all of the sample locations, and zinc in AEKPZ-02.
EPA leachate ranges were exceeded for aluminum in three samples. None of the other
parameters exceeded the maximum concentrations reported. Multiple samples were less than the
minimum concentrations reported.
Microbial samples were collected in Summer 2010 and Fall 2011 on July 7, 2010 and August 17,
2011. During the July 7, 2010 event, the landfill was predominantly dry; therefore, standing
surface water was only observed less than 50 meters and between 50 and 5,000 meters from the
dump. Subsurface water samples were collected during both sampling events from the three
piezometers and two sumps.
E. coli and Enterococcus microbial indictor organisms were found to be present in all of the
surface and subsurface water samples. The only statistically significant E. coli and Enterococcus
samples were detected in the samples collected from dump surface water and samples from less
than 50 meters from the dump compared to controls. The EPA standard for E. coli was exceeded
in 1 sample collected from the dump surface water. The EPA standard for Enterococcus was
exceeded in 2 samples collected from the dump surface water and 2 samples from less than 50
meters from the dump. The relatively high E. coli and Enterococcus microbial density for less
than 5000 meters from the dump site samples collected on July 7th 2010, potentially was caused

by fecal waste resulting from wildlife and the large number of dog yards around the community.
The microbial data is presented in Appendix F.v.
Analytical results from the Allakaket Public Water System (AK2300816) and YKSD-Allakaket
School (AK2300206) are also provided in Table 5-5 for comparison. Samples exceeded
NPDWRs for copper and lead. Samples from the drinking water were not analyzed for all of the
parameters included in this study. Aluminum, beryllium, chromium, iron, manganese, and zinc
exceeded NPDWRs in the piezometer and/or sump samples, but were not tested for in the
drinking water. Microbial data was collected for E. coli and coliform. Concentrations were
reported as zero.
5.6 Ash Sample Results
Ash from each of the communities was also sampled for metals analysis. Table 5-6 presents
metal contaminant results that were detected in ash samples from landfill burn boxes and pits.
Each community collected between 1 and 5 representative ash samples during the 3 year project..
The metal concentrations in the ash samples (ranging from non-detect to 2 orders of magnitude)
exhibit the wide variety of waste being burned by each community. In general the compounds
detected in the ash were the same as those detected in the groundwater; however, a distinct
correlation between the ash and groundwater concentrations is not discernable.

Mercury samples were collected during the initial sampling at Eek, White Mountain, and Fort
Yukon on September 11, 2009, May 11, 2009, and June 23, 2010, respectively. Two
groundwater samples were collected from EEKPZ-01 and EEKPZ-02; one surface water sample
was collected from the White Mountain drainage; two groundwater samples were collected from
FYUPZ-01 and FYUPZ-04; and one surface water sample was collected from FYUSP-01. These
samples were submitted to SGS for analysis. All of the samples came back with non-detect
concentrations. Mercury was discontinued from sampling following the receipt of these results.
The data provided by ADEC indicates that many of the compounds found in the wells including
lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, barium, and uranium have been detected at trace levels in the
drinking water well samples following treatment (DEC 2012). Detection levels were below
NPDWRs for all of these samples except for one lead sample from Allakaket. Due to the
considerable distance between the landfills and the community drinking water sources, it is likely
that these compounds are naturally occurring. The majority of the ADEC finished drinking water
wells samples did not include the analytes measured at the piezometer, sump, and surface water
samples in this study. Therefore, a more robust analysis cannot be made. In order to further
compare the data, it would be necessary to obtain pre- and post-treatment samples from the
drinking water wells for the same list of parameters, and ideally samples at points between the
landfills and drinking water intakes.
Where available, CDC Drinking Water from Private Wells and ATSDR ToxFAQs™ are
provided in Appendix D for each of the contaminants which exceed either a NPDWR or
NSDWR. While samples exceeded NPDWRs and NSDWRs, it is important to note that these
samples were taken from water that is not a drinking water source, nor are the piezometers and
sumps located near drinking water sources. In order to understand the effects of the landfills on
the surrounding surface and groundwater, it will be necessary to further compare the results to
5-10

background concentrations, as well as to compare the results to the data collected from the
drinking water wells in the villages prior to treatment.
Arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and lead are all naturally occurring elements in the
environment. Exposure to low levels of arsenic for a prolonged duration can cause discoloration
of the skin and the appearance of a rash. Inorganic arsenic is considered a known human
carcinogen. Ingestion of beryllium has not been reported to cause effects in humans since very
little beryllium is absorbed from the stomach and intestines. Beryllium can be harmful if you
breathe it. Long term exposure to beryllium can increase the risk of developing lung cancer in
people. Long term exposure to low levels of cadmium in water can lead to the buildup of
cadmium in the kidneys and possible kidney disease, as well as lung damage and fragile bones.
Cadmium is considered a human carcinogen. At high levels, Chromium (VI) can damage the
nose and cause cancer; chromium (III) is an essential nutrient. Chromium (VI) is considered a
human carcinogen. Lead can damage the nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive system.
Lead affects the body similarly whether through breathing or swallowing. Lead is reasonably
anticipated to be a human carcinogen.
Fluorides, nitrates, and nitrites are naturally occurring compounds. Low levels of fluoride
exposure can help prevent dental cavities. Higher exposure levels overtime can results in more
fragile and brittle bones. Tests are inconclusive as to whether or not fluoride is considered a
carcinogen. Exposure to high levels of nitrates and nitrites can cause methemoglobinemia which
affects hemoglobin in the blood. Nitrates and nitrites are not considered a human carcinogen.
Aluminum, iron, manganese, zinc, chloride, and sulfate exceeded NSDWRs. As previously
mentioned, NSDWRs regulate contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (e.g. skin or tooth
discoloration) or aesthetic effects (e.g. taste, odor, color). The NSDWRs are recommended to be
followed, but they are non-enforceable. The Alaska Water Quality Criteria Manual for Toxic and
Other Deleterious Organic and Inorganic Substances does not list the secondary drinking water
regulations in its guidance.
5.7.2 Microbial Samples
The communities' microbial results demonstrated the presence of E. coll and Enterococcus
microbial organisms in all tested surface water samples. For all communities, a significant
difference with a 95% confidence level was observed between samples collected from or near the
dump compared to the control surface water samples. . The EPA recommended geometric mean
for E. coli is 126/100 mL. The microbial data which exceeded the recommended geometric mean
ranged from 126 to 2512/100 mL. The EPA recommended geometric mean for Enterococcus is
33/100 mL. The microbial data which exceeded the recommended geometric mean ranged from
65 to 2512/100 mL. It should be noticed that pathogenic microorganisms are always present in

untreated domestic wastewater, and the density observed in all tested samples lies within the
typical range found in the United States (Pepper et al., 2006). Based on the results from the
subsurface and samples collected from greater than 50 meters downgradient from the dump, no
evidence was observed indicating the migration of microbial indicator organisms into the
subsurface waters or further than 50 meters downgradient from the dumpsites.
Table 5-11 presents a count of the E. coli samples which exceeded the EPA recommended
geometric mean for each location and each sample type. A total of 16 samples exceeded the
geometric mean. Ten of the exceedances were from surface water samples collected from the
landfill site; one was from the subsurface; and five were from less than 50 meters downgradient
of the landfill. None of the control or samples collected from greater than 50 meters from the
landfill exceeded the recommended geometric mean.

6.0 Conclusions
Conclusions in this section are derived from the work performed in the five tribal communities
that actively participated in this study from June 2009 to May 2012. The study evaluated the fate
and effects of leachate contamination and groundwater impact from the uncontrolled open
dumping of wastes in rural Alaskan villages. Even though a direct link between landfill leachate
and drinking water was not found in this study, both microbial pathogens and the metals (As, Be,
Cd, Cr, Pb, U, Al, Fe, Mn and Zn) are contaminants of concern and should be monitored for in
both treated drinking water and source waters to manage and reduce potential risk to human
health. These concerns also apply to many of the other 178 active Class III landfills in rural
Alaska that were often developed without any site assessment, design, or engineering and are
unlined. Although Class III landfills are not required to be lined, they must follow best
management practices for solid wastes prescribed by ADEC for these types of landfills. While
permafrost may function as a "barrier/liner" to retain the leachate and prevent its immediate
release into local surface water and/or groundwater, there are increasing concerns that projected
changes in climate may result in the melting of the permafrost and cause a sudden increase in the
release of environmental contaminants from the dump sites.
Conclusions based upon field activities conducted and analytical studies performed are presented
below. Data interpretation limitations are presented in Section 6.1. Recommendations to manage
potential risk are presented in Section 6.2.
6.1 Data Interpretation Limitations
The groundwater analytical data was compared to the EPA NPDWRs and NSDWRs MCLs as
well as the Alaska Water Quality Criteria Manual for Toxic and Other Deleterious Organic and
Inorganic Substances for Drinking Water. The Alaska Solid Waste Program for groundwater
states that the specific standards that must be used for assessment monitoring are based on the
federal MCLs; however, it also notes that federal MCLs only exist for 7 of the 215 substances
that are to be tested under assessment monitoring. For the remainder of the substances, the water
quality standard is to be based on background concentrations (i.e. the concentration that normally
exists in groundwater in the area). For surface water, the only standards that apply under the
Alaska Solid Waste Program are the most stringent standards in 18 AAC 70 and the Alaska
Water Quality Criteria Manual for Toxic and Other Deleterious Organic and Inorganic
Substances.
While the data was compared to various water quality standards, it is important to understand if
the detection levels are significant in comparison to background concentrations. As explained in
ADEC's "Detection vs. Assessment Monitoring at Municipal Landfills" guidance, background
concentrations are those concentrations which would typically be found at the site prior to impact
from the landfill. This is necessary in order to understand the effects of the landfills on the
6-1
-------
May 2012
surrounding surface and groundwater and to develop site specific water quality standards.
ADEC's "Guidelines for Sampling, Data Assessment, Determination of Background Conditions,
and Use of Statistics" should be used as a reference for developing a Solid Waste Program
sampling plan.
The water quality data were also compared to 2-years of post-treatment water quality data
provided by ADEC for the drinking water sources in each of the villages. However, the majority
of the cations and anions analyzed for in this study were not analyzed by ADEC. There was no
evidence that the landfills contaminated the drinking waters in these communities. In order to
fully determine if the landfill contaminants are impacting community drinking water supplies,
the contaminants should be monitored from the landfill to the drinking water sources. It should
also include post-treatment sampling. As mentioned above, to complete such an evaluation, it is
necessary to first understand natural background conditions. This extended evaluation was
outside the scope of this study.
Additionally, groundwater analytical results from the piezometers may have been affected by the
piezometer installation. In the ADEC's Monitoring Well Guidance document, it recommends
installation with a hollow stem auger (HSA) or direct-push technology (DPT) rig and
advancement to the groundwater table where saturated soil conditions are encountered. As the
guidance mentions, monitoring wells can be influenced by periodic or seasonal inundation of
floodwaters which would require special watertight construction; additional consideration should
also be given to monitoring wells installed in frozen ground such that the screen is deeper than
the greatest expected depth of thaw. However, the manual installations conducted during this
study do not allow for a proper well filter pack surrounding the well screen. Also, because the
piezometers were manually installed, they are not necessarily located in saturated conditions
representative of the groundwater under and surrounding the landfills.
Generally, with monitoring wells installed in the saturated zone where groundwater recovery
allows for it, typically at least three well volumes are purged prior to sampling so that water
quality parameters including temperature, pH, conductivity, ORP, DO, and turbidity can be
monitored until considered stable. Since the water recovery was marginal in most cases, the
samples collected during this investigation were collected as grab samples, field parameters were
taken only once prior to sampling. Additionally, while turbidity was not monitored, it was noted
that all of the samples collected were turbid and contained sediment. Since these samples were
not field filtered and were analyzed for Total Metals, high concentrations of metals would be
anticipated. The ADEC Draft Field Sampling Guide notes that high turbidity may cause a high
bias for metals in samples. While unfiltered Total Metals samples should be used to compare to
the MCLs, if filtered samples can be shown to be more representative, they may be used.
Therefore, these grab samples may not be an ideal representation of formation water.

6.2 Recommendations
The research and analytical data collected throughout this effort indicate that the rural landfills
and communities will benefit by implementing the following recommendations to manage
potential risks as prioritized in the following order:
• Improving solid waste management,
• Establishing water quality monitoring programs, and
• Developing conceptual site models (CSM).
6.2.1 Solid Waste Management
Improving solid waste management by implementing best management practices is a
requirement for Class III permitted landfills. As mentioned in Section 2.2, the Solid Waste
Program has developed a number of factsheets and guidance documents for rural communities
that can be downloaded directly from their website (http://dec.alaska.gov/eh/sw/rural_AK.htm).
It is recommended that these communities obtain Class III landfill permits and work rigorously
to implement a solid waste collection program, increase site control, manage the incoming waste
streams, and increase burn unit monitoring.
6.2.1.1 Solid Waste Collection Program
Each community should establish and/or enhance their solid waste collection program because
community personnel and their vehicles carrying the waste to the dumpsite can become receptors
and transport mechanisms of contamination by contacting with the waste during the disposal
process. When they travel back into their communities after dumping their waste, they may
transport any contacted contamination back into their communities.
6.2.1.2 Site Control
Each community should establish and/or enhance site access and control measures. For example,
the dump site should have a good fence that controls access and keeps animals and unauthorized
personnel out. Appropriate signs should be placed indicating hours of operation and a listing of
permitted and non-permitted activities. Ideally once site controls are established, the site only has
a single entrance with authorized personnel present to accept and dispose wastes. Uncontrolled
dumpsites are harmful to the community as they allow for activities such as 1) open and
uncontrolled burning, 2) dumping of waste in inappropriate locations, and 3) improper disposal
of harmful and hazardous wastes.
6.2.1.3 Manage the Incoming Waste Streams
Establishing a solid waste collection program and site control allows the community to segregate
and manage hazardous wastes such as paints, oils, electronic waste, batteries, etc. Once the waste
streams are properly collected and segregated, they can be disposed in appropriate fashion.
6-3
-------
May 2012
Management of incoming waste requires segregation and separate storage facilities for: 1)
Household hazardous waste, 2) Appliances for recycling, and 3) Oil drum storage.
6.2.1.4 Burn Units / Controlled Burning
There are some advantages to burning solid waste. The advantages include: 1) Burning reduces
the volume of waste that must be disposed; 2) The ash is much less attractive to animals than is
raw garbage; 3) The ash does not need to be covered as frequently as raw garbage to prevent
litter, odor, or leachate formation; and 4) The ash is less reactive and easier to dispose. However,
proper burning is essential to gain the benefits. Improper open burning results in excessive
smoke, and burning of hazardous waste can cause more harm to the persons exposed than any of
the aforementioned benefits. A burn unit must be enclosed, and only dry waste should be burned
so as to not emit black smoke. Ideally, an enclosed burn unit should have an efficient draft, a
smoke stack, and be easy to empty. Burning activity should be performed with an attendant on
duty with lights and monitors and only when the wind direction is favorable (i.e., away from the
village/city). The resulting ash should be disposed properly. Hazardous wastes should never be
burned.
6.2.2 Water Quality Monitoring Program
It is also recommended that a water quality monitoring program be established for the rural
communities. This program should consist of pre- and post-treatment monitoring of drinking
water wells and additional collection of groundwater and surface water data from the installed
piezometers, sumps, and surrounding surface waters. The domestic water supply wells should be
routinely monitored for chemical and biological contaminants. It is recommended that the pre-
and post-treatment samples are analyzed for the same parameters as this study for comparison.
As mentioned in Section 6.1, all of the wells, piezometers, and sumps when possible should be
sampled by following standard water sampling protocol (e.g. turbidity should be monitored when
sampling).
Ideally, background water quality conditions should be established in order to understand if any
of the compounds detected in the water from landfill piezometers, sumps, or domestic water
supply wells are elevated above background conditions. It should be noted that even if the
domestic water supply wells contain compounds at elevated levels above background conditions,
it does not necessarily imply that the landfills are directly impacting the wells. As mentioned in
the report, monitoring well construction and sampling protocol can directly influence analytical
results and bias samples. Additionally, other environmental impacts from the villages could be
more directly impacting the well water quality.
Background water quality data may be available from ADEC or through additional research. If
not, a background water quality or "control" monitoring well should be installed upgradient of
the village and landfill. It is recommended that this monitoring well be installed with the screen
6-4

intake at the same approximate elevation as the shallow domestic wells. Monitoring well costs
vary depending on the type of rig, mobilization and demobilization of equipment, materials, and
supplies needed. Average costs solely for rig installation may range from $150 to $160 per linear
foot for a mud-rotary or air-rotary drilling rig, respectively.
6.2.3 Conceptual Site Model
If the water quality monitoring program indicates that detected concentrations of monitored
compounds are elevated above background concentrations, a CSM should be developed. A CSM
summarizes available site information and identifies receptors, environmental media,
transportation mechanisms, and routes of exposure. A CSM is used to determine the data types
necessary to describe site conditions and quantify receptor exposure and discusses current site
conditions, future land use, and exposure pathways.
In order to develop a CSM for a site, the following pathways must be identified:
• Receptors (i.e. potential human and/or representative ecological receptors at the exposure
point);
• Environmental media affected (e.g. soil, groundwater, surface water, and air);
• Transport mechanisms (e.g. surface water runoff, groundwater migration, soil leaching,
atmospheric dispersion, volatilization, and enclosed space vapor accumulation); and
• Exposure routes (e.g. inhalation, incidental ingestion, and dermal contact).
For the villages potential receptors include local residents, village workers, hunters/recreational
users, and trespassers. Surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, and groundwater are all
potentially affected environmental media. Ecological receptors include flora and fauna of the
surrounding lands, the local surface water bodies, and the local rivers and creeks. Potential routes
for exposure for human and ecological receptors include dermal contact, ingestion, and
inhalation of soil particulates, surface water, or groundwater. All pathways until proven
otherwise should be considered.
Information from the CSM can be used if further investigations become necessary. A
comprehensive site investigation is recommended should funds become available to evaluate all
of the potentially affected media. The investigation should include performing a historical
records search in order to ascertain the materials and volumes contained within the landfill sites.
Should the monitoring program indicate elevated concentrations, a "sentinel" monitoring well
should be installed downgradient of the landfill between the landfill and domestic supply wells.
Should results from a comprehensive site investigation indicate impacts, a feasibility study
should be conducted to determine the best approach to address the impacts.

R.A.R.E. Opportunity
Regional Applied Research Effort, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA, Office of Research and Development and the EPA, Alaska Operations Office
are partnering to look at how contaminants in leachate from open dumps may harm the
environment especially drinking water sources. The EPA resources for the project are
limited but we think this can be a good start in looking at the relationship between dump
site leachate and impacts to our environment. There is the opportunity for EPA to partner
with five villages on the project.
Five different types of dump site conditions are needed for the project: 1 ) a dump site in
dug up tundra; 2) a dump site mostly on top of the tundra; 3) a dump site in a tundra
pond; 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-
five feet or less) to ground water; and 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where
there is a longer distance (twenty-five feet or more) to ground water.
If you think your village may be interested in participating in the project please complete
this form and return it to either'Michelle Davis or Joe Sarcone of the EPA, Alaska
Operations Office, Our fax number is (907) 271-3424. Thanks.

Additional information requested for the RARE (Regional Applied Research
Effort) project field assessment. (7/27/09)
It would be very helpful if your Tribe could provide the RARE technical team with information to help
them understand conditions at your landfill. This information will help us determine the extent of the
field work to be performed at each site. It is especially important for us to have as much understanding
as possible of the hydrology (water flow) at each dump site. How does water move on, through and
under the site? Answers to these questions will give us a better understanding of the hydrology. We
would like to request:
Photos of your site, (digital camera images are best for to the engineers and scientists working
on the project). We would like at least 4-5 photos, one from each side of the site. We recommend
that you send batches of 4-5 pictures at a time, due to server limitations. Also, please put a note on
each photo that gives us some information about where they were taken, and which way water may
flow from that location. Please e-mail these to Ted Jacobson @ tjacobson@ruralcap.com
Then, fill out rest of this worksheet and fax it attention Ted Jacobsen at (800) 478-6343. If you
have transmission problems, call him at (907) 865-7363. Please feel free to attach other
information, or additional pages that may help us to better understand site conditions.
Is there standing water in the dump site? The open dump is always covered with garbage and
has gotten worse since the last year therefore, it is not noted if there is standing water in the dump
site, (trench)
Is the standing water present year round or seasonally such as just at break-up? It is noted that
there is puddles on a seasonal bases after a thaw and after a heavy rainfall during the spring and
summer.
Does the dump site flood? About how often? Our dump site doesn't flood.
• When there is water in the site does it flow over the top of the ground and through the site (sheet
flow) or does it stand in puddles or ponds in the site, or both? It is difficult to tell if there is water in
the trench. We are unable to see the bottom of the trench because of overflow of garbage in it
When the ground thaws, there are puddles of water around the site where there's been four
wheelers and truck imprints left in the mud around the inside parameters of the unfenced dump
site.
• If you were to dig a hole at the dump site, how deep would you have go before you hit ground water?
You would have to dig between 20-32 feet before you hit ground water.
If there is permafrost under the site, how deep would you have to dig before you hit permafrost?
There is no permafrost here.
• About how large is the dump site (use the measure you are most familiar with to make this estimate
such acres, square feet, square meters). 70 yards by 40 yards
How old is your dump? Our dump site is about 30+ years old
• About how deep is it? About 10 feet deep
On a separate page, please draw a rough sketch of your dump site and give the dimensions, show
any surface water rivers, sloughs, or ponds that may be near by, indicate north-south east-west, and
draw an arrow or arrows in the direction(s) you think that water flows over or under the dump site.
Please fax this worksheet and map with the name of your village, a contact person and telephone
number to Ted Jacobson at (800) 478-6343. Please feel free to call either Ted or Michelle Davis (907
271-3434) if you have questions.

Ekwok
Location and Climate
Ekwok is located along the Nushagak River, 43 miles northeast of Dillingham and 285 miles
southwest of Anchorage. The community lies at approximately 59.349720° North Latitude and -
157.475280° West Longitude. (Sec. 35, T009S, R049W, Seward Meridian.) Ekwok is located in
the Bristol Bay Recording District. The area encompasses 16.0 sq. miles of land and 1.4 sq.
miles of water.
Ekwok is in a climatic transition zone. The primary influence is maritime, although a continental
climate also affects the weather. Average summer temperatures range from 30 to 66 °F; winter
temperatures average from 4 to 30 °F. Precipitation averages 20 to 35 inches each year.
Extremely strong winds are common during winter months. Fog is prevalent during summer
months. The river is ice-free from June through mid-November.
History, Culture and Demographics
Ekwok means "end of the bluff' and is the oldest continuously-occupied Yup'ik Eskimo village on the river. During the
1800s, the settlement was used in the spring and summer as a fish camp and in the fall as a base for berry picking.
By 1923, it was the largest settlement along the river. In 1930, a BIA school was constructed. Mail was delivered by
dog sled from Dillingham until a post office opened in Ekwok in 1941. Many of the earliest homes in Ekwok were
located in a low flat area near the riverbank. After a severe flood in the early 1960s, villagers relocated to the current
location on higher ground. The city was incorporated in 1974.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Ekwok Village. Ekwok is a Yup'ik Eskimo village with a
fishing and subsistence lifestyle.
According to Census 2010, there were 51 housing units in the community and 37 were occupied. Its population was
90.4 percent American Indian or Alaska Native; 5.2 percent white; 4.4 percent of the local residents had multi-racial
backgrounds. Additionally, 2.6 percent of the population was of Hispanic decent.
Facilities, Utilities, Schools and Health Care
Individual wells provide water for the majority of the community. 20 HUD homes have individual wells and a piped

septic system. The city operates a piped sewage system with a sewage lift station, which connects to 16 additional
residences. The remaining homes use septic systems or a flush/haul system; a sewage pumper is available. Thirty-six
of 42 homes have complete plumbing. Refuse collection services are provided. Electricity is provided by Ekwok
Electric. There is one school located in the community, attended by 16 students. Local hospitals or health clinics
include Ekwok Clinic. Emergency Services have coastal and air access. Emergency service is provided by a health
aide. Auxiliary health care is provided by Ekwok First Responders (907-464-3322).
Economy
A few residents trap. The entire population depends on subsistence activities for various food sources. Salmon, pike,
moose, caribou, duck, and berries are harvested. Summer gardens are also popular, because families do not leave
the village to fish for subsistence purposes. Most residents are not interested in participating in a cash economy. In
2010, 3 residents held commercial fishing permits in Ekwok. The village corporation owns a fishing lodge two miles
downriver. Gravel is mined near the community.
The 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) estimated 681 residents as employed. The public sector
employed 26.5%1 of all workers. The local unemployment rate was 8.1 %1. The percentage of workers not in labor
force was 40.8%1. The ACS surveys established that average median household income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted
dollars) was $71,875 (MOE +/-$52,756)1. The per capita income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted dollars) was $23,636
(MOE +/-$5,116)1. About 17.2%1 of all residents had incomes below the poverty level.
All ACS statistics are published with their repective margin of error (MOE). Some of the statistics here are calculated from the original ACS data. The
MOE was unable to be carried through the calculations.

Transportation
Air transport is most frequently used to reach Ekwok. Regular and charter flights are available from Dillingham. The
state-owned 3,300' long by 75' wide gravel runway was rebuilt and lengthened in 2005. Float planes land on the
Nushagak River. Cargo is brought in during ice-free months from Dillingham by Coastal Marine Transport barge
service. There are no docking facilities, but a barge off-loading area exists. Skiffs, ATVs, and snowmachines are used
for local transportation to other villages.

EEK RARE SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-------
R.A.R.E. Opportunity
Regional Applied Research Effort, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA, Office of Research and Development and the EPA, Alaska Operations Office
are partnering to look at how contaminants in leachate from open dumps may harm the
environment especially drinking water sources. The EPA resources for the project are
limited but we think this can be a good start in looking at the relationship between dump
site leachate and impacts to our environment. There is the opportunity for EPA to partner
with five villages on the project.
Five different types of dump site conditions are needed for the project; 1) a dump site in
dug up tundra; 2) a dump site mostly on top of the tundra; 3) a dump site in a tundra
pond; 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-
five feet or less) to ground water; and 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where
there is a longer distance (twenty-five feet or more) to ground water,
If you think your village may be interested in participating in the project please complete
this form and return it to either 'Michelle Davis or Joe Sarcone of the EPA, Alaska
Operations Office. Our fax number is (907) 27 1-3424, Thanks,

Comments:
Photo 1: is the ramp quickly constructed by the City personnel, not nearly the one
I had hoped for, but still something to drive 4 wheelers on.
Photo 2: is the burnbox with disturbed tundra following the removal of the
boardwalk. With the rain, it would become more obvious not to remove surface
material in this area.
Photo 3: is the solid waste site where stuff is being dozed to.
Photo 4: didn't turn out too well but it's where the water flows through from the
dumpsite or leachate, leading to the meandering creek just off of this site. If you
could go into Google Earth and find Eek, you will get the better picture what this is.

Additional information requested for the RARE (Regional Applied Research
Effort) project field assessment, (7/27/09)
It would be very helpful if your Tribe could provide the RARE technical team with information to help
them understand conditions at your lindfill, This information will help us determine the extent of the
field work to be performed at each site. It is especially important for us to have as much understanding
as possible of the hydrology (water flow) at each dump site. How does water move on, through and
under the site? Answers to these questions will give us a better understanding of the hydrology. We
would like to request:
• Photos of your site, {digital camera images are best for to the engineers and scientists working
on the project). We would like at least 4-5 photos, one from each side of the site. We recommend
that you send batches of 4-5 pictures at a time, due to server limitations. Also, please put a note on
each photo that gives us some information about where they were taken, and which way water may
flow from that location. Please e-mail these to Ted Jacobson @ tjacQb3onMrMil.ciJ.B.coiiri
Then, fill out rest of this worksheet and fax it attention Ted Jacobsen at (800) 478-3343. If you
have transmission problems, call him at (907) 865-7363. Please feel free to attach other
information, or additional pages that may help us to better understand site conditions.
* Is there standing water in the dump site? Yes
Is the standing water present year round or seasonally such as just at break-up? It is there year
round
• Does the dump site flood? About how often? No
* When there is water in the site does it flow over the top of the ground and through the site {sheet
flow) or does it stand in puddles or ponds in the site, or both? The water in the pond does not
overflow even during any rain season. There is a stream inching its way towards the site and
beyond that subsistence activities occur and waterfowl and fish are present.
• If you were to dig a hole at the dump site, how deep would you have go before you hit ground water?
There has been wells dug in the past and after two have been capped immediately after completion, we
had told the last contractor not to sink its money even then. However, they had these very expensive
personnel they described they had, they went ahead and sunk a bunch of money, capped that too and
walked away - what's down there you don't want to use at all, even at 300 feet.
* If there is permafrost under the site, how deep would you have to dig before you hit permafrost?
About two feet at the moment.
• About how large is the dump site (use the measure you are most familiar with to make this estimate
such acres, square feet, square meters). 18.61 acres
• How old is your dump? Site is being used 33 years to date.
• About how deep is it? Two natural ponds, not very deep. Perhaps five feet at the most,
On a separate page, please draw a rough sketch of your dump site and give the dimensions, show
any surface water rivers, sloughs, or ponds that may be near by, indicate north-south east-west, and
draw an arrow or arrows in the direction(s) you think that water flows over or under the dump site.
Please fax this worksheet and map with the name of your village, a contact person and telephone
number to Ted Jacobson at (800) 478-6343. Please feel free to call either Ted or Michelle Davis (907
271-3434) if you have questions.

History, Culture and Demographics
The village was originally located on the Apokok River. It moved to its present location in the 1930s when constant
flooding and erosion forced a relocation. A BIA school and a Moravian church were constructed at the new site. A
post office was established in 1949. The city was incorporated in 1970.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Native Village of Eek. Eek is a traditional Yup'ik
Eskimo village with a subsistence lifestyle and salmon is a dominant food source. All five Pacific salmon species
spawn in the Eek River. The sale and importation of alcohol is banned in the village.
According to Census 2010, there were 101 housing units in the community and 91 were occupied. Its population was
97.6 percent American Indian or Alaska Native; 2.4 percent white; Additionally, 1 percent of the population was of
Hispanic decent.
Facilities, Utilities, Schools and Health Care
The city and village have formed a joint utility commission. Water is derived from Eek River and is treated and stored
in a tank at the washeteria. A few homes have tanks that provide running water to the kitchen, but houses do not
have additional plumbing. Rain catchment systems and ice melt are also used for drinking water. Honeybuckets are
collected by the city and disposed of in a sewage lagoon. Electricity is provided by AVEC. There is one school located
in the community, attended by 89 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include Eek Health Clinic. Emergency
Services have coastal and air access. Emergency service is provided by a health aide

WHITE MOUNTAIN RARE SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-------
R.A.R.E. Opportunity
Regional Applied Research Effort, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA, Office of Research and Development and the EPA, Alaska Operations Office
are partnering to look at how contaminants in leacbatc from open dumps may harm the
environment especially drinking water sources. The EPA resources for the project are
limited but we think this can be a good start in looking at the relationship between dump
site leachate and impacts to our environment. There is die opportunity for EPA to partner
with five villages on the project.
Five different types of dump site conditions are needed for the project: 1) a dump site in
dug up tundra; 2) a dump site mostly on top of the tundra; 3) a dump site in a tundra
pond; 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-
five feet or less) to ground water; and 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where
there is a longer distance (twenty-five feet or more) to ground water. .
If you think your village may be interested in participating in the project please complete
this form and return, it to either 'Michelle Davis or Joe Sarcone of the EPA, Alaska
Operations Office. Our fax number is (907) 271-3424. Thanks.

Effort) project field assessment. (7/27/09)
j
It would be very helpful ff your Tribe could provide the! RARE technical team with information to help
tnem understand conditions at your landfill. This information will help us determine the extent of the
field work to be performed at each site. It is especially important for us to have as much understanding
as possible of the hydrology (water flow) at each dump site. How does water move on, through irtd
under the site? Answers to these questions will give us a better understanding of the hydrology- We
would like to request tvl-^i? 'j'^\c A wM'* |M* **•#<•* ^
• Photos of your site, (digital camera images are best for to the engineers and scientists working
on the project). We would Wee at least 4-5 photos, one from each side of the site. We recommend
that you send batches of 4-5 pictures at a time, due to server limitations. Also, please put a note on
each photo that gives us some information about where they were taken, end which way water may
flow from that location. Please e-mail thaae to Tad Jacobson @ tiacobsoniSBruraicap.com
Then, fill out rest of this worksheet and fax it attention Ted Jacobean at (800) 478-6343, If you
have transmission problems, call him lit (007) 865-7363. Please feel fn» to attach other

Location and Climate
White Mountain is located on the west bank of the Fish River, near the head of Golovin Lagoon,
on the Seward Peninsula. It is 63 miles east of Nome. The community lies at approximately
64.681390° North Latitude and -163.405560° West Longitude. (Sec. 26, T009S, R024W, Kateel
River Meridian.) White Mountain is located in the Cape Nome Recording District. The area
encompasses 1.8 sq. miles of land and 0.2 sq. miles of water.
White Mountain has a transitional climate with less extreme seasonal and daily temperatures than
Interior Alaska. Continental influences prevail in the ice-bound winter. Average summer
temperatures range from 43 to 80 °F; winter temperatures average -7 to 15 °F. Annual
precipitation averages 15 inches, with 60 inches of snow. The Fish River freezes up in November;
break-up occurs in mid to late May.
History, Culture and Demographics
The Inupiat fish camp of "Nutchirviq" was located here. The bountiful resources of both the Fish and Niukluk Rivers
supported the area's Native populations. White Mountain grew after the influx of prospectors during the gold rush of
1900. The first structure was a warehouse built by miner Charles Lane to store supplies for his claim in the Council
District. It was the site of a government-subsidized orphanage, which became an industrial school in 1926. A post
office was opened in 1932. The city government was incorporated in 1969.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Native Village of White Mountain. White Mountain is a
Kawerak Eskimo village, with historical influences from the gold rush. Subsistence activities are prevalent.
According to Census 2010, there were 79 housing units in the community and 65 were occupied. Its population was
81.6 percent American Indian or Alaska Native; 12.1 percent white; 6.3 percent of the local residents had multi-racial
backgrounds. Additionally, 1.1 percent of the population was of Hispanic decent.
Facilities, Utilities, Schools and Health Care
Water is derived from a well near the Fish River and is treated. Forty-eight (48) households and facilities are
connected to the piped water and sewer system. Eighteen (18) additional households haul honeybuckets. The school
operates its own water and sewer system. Electricity is provided by White Mountain Utilities. There is one school

located in the community, attended by 52 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include Natchirsvik Health Clinic.
Emergency Services have river and air access. Emergency service is provided by a health aide
Economy
The entire population depends on subsistence hunting and fishing, and most spend the entire summer at fish camps.
Salmon, other fish, beluga whale, seal, moose, reindeer, caribou, and brown bear are utilized. The school, store, post
office, city, IRA, and airport provide the only local employment. Construction outside of town and firefighting provide
seasonal employment. In 2010, one resident held a commercial fishing permit. Ivory and bone carvings contribute
some cash. A reindeer farm is run by a local resident.
The 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) estimated 511 residents as employed. The public sector
employed 9.8%1 of all workers. The local unemployment rate was 31.1%1. The percentage of workers not in labor
force was 48.3%1. The ACS surveys established that average median household income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted
dollars) was $29,375 (MOE +/-$18,022)1. The per capita income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted dollars) was $15,749
(MOE +/-$8,277)1. About 38.3%1 of all residents had incomes below the poverty level.
All ACS statistics are published with their repective margin of error (MOE). Some of the statistics here are calculated from the original ACS data. The
MOE was unable to be carried through the calculations.

Transportation
Access to White Mountain is by air and sea. There are no roads. The 3,000' long by 60' wide gravel runway is
operated by the state, and scheduled flights are available daily from Nome. There is no dock in the village; supplies
are lightered from Nome and offloaded on the beach. Cargo barges cannot land at White Mountain.

FORT YUKON RARE SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-------
R.A.R.E. Opportunity
Regional Applied Research Effort, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA. Office of Research and Development and the EPA, Alaska Operations Office
are partnering to look at how contaminants in leachate from open dumps may harm the
environment especially drinking water sources. The EPA resources for the project are
limited but we think this can be a good start in looking at the relationship between dump
site leachate and impacts to our environment. There is the opportunity for EPA to partner
with five villages on the project.
Five different types of dump site conditions are needed for the project: 1) a dump site in
dug up tundra; 2) a dump site mostly on top of the tundra; 3) a dump site in a tundra
pond; 4) a dump site in ground thai is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-
five feet or less) to ground water; and 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where
there is a longer distance (twenty-live feet or more) to ground water.
If you think your village may be interested in participating in the project please complete
this form and return it to either Michelle Davis or Joe Sarcone of the EPA, Alaska
Operations Office. Our fax number is (907) 271-3424. Thanks.

Location and Climate
Fort Yukon is located at the confluence of the Yukon and Porcupine Rivers, about 145 air miles
northeast of Fairbanks. The community lies at approximately 66.564720° North Latitude and -
145.273890° West Longitude. (Sec. 18, T020N, R012E, Fairbanks Meridian.) Fort Yukon is
located in the Fairbanks Recording District. The area encompasses 7.0 sq. miles of land and 0.4
sq. miles of water.
The winters are long and harsh, and the summers are short but warm. After freeze-up, the plateau
is a source of cold, continental arctic air. Daily minimum temperatures between November and
March are usually below 0 °F. Extended periods of -50 to -60 °F are common. Summer high
temperatures run 65 to 72 °F; a high of 97 °F has been recorded. Total annual precipitation
averages 6.58 inches, with 43.4 inches of snowfall. The Yukon River is ice-free from the end of
May through mid-September.
History, Culture and Demographics
Fort Yukon was founded in 1847 by Alexander Murray as a Canadian outpost in Russian territory. It became an
important trade center for the Gwich'in Indians, who inhabited the vast lowlands of the Yukon Flats and River valleys.
The Hudson Bay Company, a British trading company, operated at Fort Yukon from 1846 until 1869. In 1862, a
mission school was established. In 1867, Alaska was purchased by the U.S., and, two years later, it was determined
that Fort Yukon was on American soil. Moses Mercier, a trader with the Alaska Commercial Company, took over
operation of the Fort Yukon Trading Post. A post office was established in 1898. The fur trade of the 1800s, the
whaling boom on the Arctic coast (1889-1904), and the Klondike Gold Rush spurred economic activity and provided
some economic opportunities for the Natives. However, major epidemics of introduced diseases struck the Fort Yukon
population from the 1860s until the 1920s. In 1949, a flood damaged or destroyed many homes in Fort Yukon. During
the 1950s, a White Alice Communications System and an Air Force station were established. Fort Yukon incorporated
as a city in 1959.

Alaska Division of Community and Regional Affairs
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Native Village of Fort Yukon; Canyon Village
Traditional Council (not recognized). Most Fort Yukon residents are descendants of the Yukon Flats, Chandalar River,
Birch Creek, Black River, and Porcupine River Gwich'in Athabascan tribes. Subsistence is an important component of
the local culture.
According to Census 2010, there were 325 housing units in the community and 246 were occupied. Its population was
89.2 percent American Indian or Alaska Native; 7.7 percent white; 0.5 percent black; 0.2 percent Asian; 0.5 percent
Pacific Islander; 1.7 percent of the local residents had multi-racial backgrounds. Additionally, 0.3 percent of the
population was of Hispanic decent.
Facilities, Utilities, Schools and Health Care
Water is derived from two wells and is treated and stored in a 110,000-gallon tank. A combination of piped water,
water delivery, and individual wells serve households. A flush/haul system, septic tanks, honeybuckets, and outhouses
are used for sewage disposal. Approximately half of all homes are plumbed. The piped water system and household
septic tanks were installed in 1984. Electricity is provided by Gwitchyaa Zhee Utilities. There is one school located in
the community, attended by 117 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include Fort Yukon Public Health Office
and the Yukon Flats Health Center. The clinic is a qualified emergency care center. Fort Yukon is an isolated
town/sub-regional center it is part of the Interior EMS Region. Emergency Services include river and air access and
are within 30 minutes of a higher-level satellite health care facility. Emergency service is provided by 911 telephone
service volunteers and a health aide. Auxiliary health care is provided by Fort Yukon Emergency Medical Services
(Dispatch 907-662-2462 Office 662-2460).
Economy
City, state, and federal agencies and the Native corporation are the primary employers in Fort Yukon. The school
district is the largest employer. Winter tourism is becoming increasingly popular; Fort Yukon experiences spectacular
northern lights. The BLM operates an emergency firefighting base at the airport. The U.S. Air Force operates a White
Alice Communications System in Fort Yukon. Trapping and Native handicrafts also provide income. Residents rely on
subsistence foods — salmon, whitefish, moose, bear, caribou, and waterfowl provide most meat sources. In 2009, one
resident held a commercial fishing permit.
The 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) estimated 2121 residents as employed. The public sector
employed 31.6%1 of all workers. The local unemployment rate was 21.5%1. The percentage of workers not in labor
force was 32.0%1. The ACS surveys established that average median household income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted
dollars) was $30,500 (MOE +/-$12,733)1. The per capita income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted dollars) was $18,555
(MOE +/-$3,695)1. About 20.6%1 of all residents had incomes below the poverty level.
All ACS statistics are published with their repective margin of error (MOE). Some of the statistics here are calculated from the original ACS data. The
MOE was unable to be carried through the calculations.

Transportation
Fort Yukon is accessible by air year-round and by barge during the summer months. Heavy cargo is brought in by
barge from the end of May through mid-September; there is a barge off-loading area but no dock. Riverboats and
skiffs are used for recreation, hunting, fishing, and other subsistence activities. A state-owned 5,810' long by 150'
wide lighted gravel airstrip is available; Hospital Lake, adjacent to the airport, is used by float planes. There are 17
miles of local roads and over 100 automobiles and trucks. The city transit bus system provides transport throughout
the town. Snowmachines and dog sleds are used on area trails or the frozen river, which becomes an ice road to
area villages during winter.

ALLAKAKET RARE SITE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-------
R.A.R.E. Opportunity
Regional Applied Research Effort, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA, Office of Research and Development and the EPA, Alaska Operations Office are
partnering to look at how contaminants in leachate from open dumps may harm the environment
especially drinking water sources. The EPA resources for the project are limited but we think this
can be a good start in looking at the relationship between dump site leachate and impacts to our
environment. There is the opportunity for EPA to partner with five villages on the project.
Five different types of dump site conditions are needed for the project: 1) a dump site in dug up
tundra; 2) a dump site mostly on top of the tundra; 3) a dump site in a tundra pond; 4) a dump site
in ground that is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-five feet or less) to ground
water; and 4) a dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a longer distance (twenty-
five feet or more) to ground water.
If you think your village may be interested in participating in the project please complete this
form and return it to either Michelle Davis or Joe Sarcone of the EPA, Alaska Operations Office.
Our fax number is (907) 271-3424. Thanks.

Owner/operator of dump site (for example: the city government):
City of Allakaket
Owner of the land the dump site is located on (for example: the corporation):
City of Allakaket
Age of the dump site:
The dump was built 1999
Distance of the dump site to the village:
The dump is around 2-3 miles away from any houses
Distance of the dump site to a drinking water source (this could be the source of water for your
watering point/washeteria or it could be a traditional water source such as river, tundra pond,
spring, or ice):
It is about 2 !/2 - 3 !/> miles away from the washeteria
Distance of dump from a source of subsistence (for example, a river or slough or a berry picking
area):
The dump is about 2 1A -3 !/> away from the Koyukuk River, there is berry picking areas
all around the tundra between the dump and Allakaket.

Type of dump site condition, Please circle one:
1) dump site in dug up tundra;
2) dump site mostly on top of the tundra;
3) dump site in a tundra pond;
4) dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a short distance (twenty-five feet or less)
to ground water;
5) dump site in ground that is not tundra where there is a longer distance (twenty-five feet or
more) to ground water.
6) other (please describe)
The dump is mostly on top of tundra and also on Permafrost
Additional information you would like for us to know:
The Tribal Council and Community are interested on learning what would happen
if the permafrost would melt and the affects it would have on our lands.

Current Population: 103 (2011 Alaska Department of Labor Estimate)
Incorporation Type: 2nd Class City
Located In: Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area
Taxes: Sales: None, Property: None, Special: None
Location and Climate
Allakaket is on the south bank of the Koyukuk River, southwest of its junction with the Alatna
River, approximately 190 air miles northwest of Fairbanks and 57 miles upriver from Hughes. The
village of Alatna is located directly across the river. The community lies at approximately
66.562610° North Latitude and -152.647560° West Longitude. (Sec. 14, T020N, R024W,
Fairbanks Meridian.) Allakaket is located in the Fairbanks Recording District. The area
encompasses 3.6 sq. miles of land and 0.7 sq. miles of water.
The area experiences a cold, continental climate with extreme temperature differences. The
average high temperature during July is 70 °F. The average low temperature during January is
well below zero and extended periods of-40 °F are common. The highest temperature ever
recorded was 94 °F, and the lowest was -75 °F. Average annual precipitation is 13 inches, and
average annual snowfall is 72 inches. The Koyukuk River is ice-free from June through October.
History, Culture and Demographics
Several Native groups have lived in the area, including Koyukon Athabascans and Kobuk, Selawik, and Nunamiut
Eskimos from the north and northwest. The Koyukon lived in several camps throughout the year, moving as the
seasons changed, following the wild game and fish. The various bands established joint settlements after 1851. The
old site of Alatna was a traditional trading center for Athabascans and Eskimos. The first mission on the Koyukuk
River, St. John's-in-the-Wilderness Episcopal Mission, was established in 1906. A post office was opened in 1925. In
1938, the name of the community was changed to Allakaket (the old name for the mission), and the name Alatna was
assumed by the small Eskimo community across the river. The first public school was established in 1957. A flood
caused by ice jamming inundated 85% of the community in the Spring of 1964. In 1975, the community incorporated
as a city, including both settlements of Allakaket and Alatna. A clinic and airport were built in 1978. A new school and
community roads were built in 1979. In September 1994, flood waters destroyed and swept away nearly all of the
community's buildings, homes, and food caches for the winter. Residents rebuilt near the old city site, but some new
homes and facilities are now located outside of the incorporated city boundaries. New Allakaket and Alatna are
located outside of the city limits.
A federally-recognized tribe is located in the community — the Allakaket Village. Allakaket is mainly an Athabascan
community; Kobuk Eskimos live across the river in Alatna. Two separate village councils exist. Traditional potlatches,

dances and foot races attract visitors from area villages. Subsistence activities provide the majority of food sources.
The sale, importation, and possession of alcohol is banned in the village.
According to Census 2010, there were 58 housing units in the community and 44 were occupied. Its population was
95.2 percent American Indian or Alaska Native; 1 percent white; 3.8 percent of the local residents had multi-racial
backgrounds.
Facilities, Utilities, Schools and Health Care
Most public facilities were severely damaged in the 1994 Koyukuk River flood. Major components have been replaced
— a washeteria, well and treatment plant, 100,000-gal. water storage tank, sewage lagoon, and force main have been
completed. The lagoon is connected to the washeteria and school. Residents carry treated water and haul
honeybuckets or use pit privies; no households have plumbing. Electricity is provided by Alaska Power Company.
There is one school located in the community, attended by 41 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include
Allakaket Health Clinic. Allakaket Health Clinic is a Primary Health Care facility with river and air access.
Economy
Most cash jobs are part-time or seasonal. The primary year-round employers are the school, city, tribe, and village
corporation store. Construction and BLM emergency firefighting provide summer jobs. A few earn income from
trapping or selling traditional Native handicrafts. Subsistence is the focus of the local economy. Salmon, whitefish,
moose, bear, small game, and berries provide most food sources. Caribou are taken when available.
The 2006-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) estimated 201 residents as employed. The public sector
employed 30.0%1 of all workers. The local unemployment rate was 54.5%1. The percentage of workers not in labor
force was 18.5%1. The ACS surveys established that average median household income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted
dollars) was $19,250 (MOE +/-$5,250)1. The per capita income (in 2010 inflation-adjusted dollars) was $15,925 (MOE
+/-$5,965)1. About 49.2%1 of all residents had incomes below the poverty level.
All ACS statistics are published with their repective margin of error (MOE). Some of the statistics here are calculated from the original ACS data. The
MOE was unable to be carried through the calculations.

Transportation
Allakaket has no road link, but winter trails connect it with Hughes, Settles, and Tanana. River transportation is
important in summer, but there is no commercial barge access due to shallow water. A state-owned 4,000' long by
100' wide gravel runway is accessible year-round. A $6 million airport improvement began construction in 1997.

Jason,
For the two -401 samples you received, please conduct a SVOC 8270 TIC search (in addition to the 'regular'
analyte list) looking for and reporting ONLY the top ten TICs meeting the criteria for TIC identification (greater
than 10% the nearest IS, etc.). Do not do a TIC search for the -501 samples.
For all future field samples on this project (samples ending in '001'), please conduct an SVOC 8270 TIC search (in
addition to the 'regular' list) whenever SVOC 8270 is requested. I, and Jack, wiil try to remember to formally
request TICs on the COC.

CAS # 7429-90-5
Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine ToxFAQs1
September 2008
This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about aluminum. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Everyone is exposed to low levels of aluminum from food, air,
water, and soil. Exposure to high levels of aluminum may result in respiratory and
neurological problems. Aluminum (in compounds combined with other elements)
has been found in at least 596 of the 1,699 National Priority List (NPL) sites identified
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is aluminum?
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust. It is
always found combined with other elements such as oxygen,
silicon, and fluorine. Aluminum as the metal is obtained from
aluminum-containing minerals. Small amounts of aluminum can
be found dissolved in water.
Aluminum metal is light in weight and silvery-white in appearance.
Aluminum is used for beverage cans, pots and pans, airplanes,
siding and roofing, and foil. Aluminum is often mixed with small
amounts of other metals to form aluminum alloys, which are
stronger and harder.
Aluminum compounds have many different uses, for example,
as alums in water-treatment and alumina in abrasives and furnace
linings. They are also found in consumer products such as
antacids, astringents, buffered aspirin, food additives, cosmetics,
and antiperspirants.
What happens to aluminum when it enters the
environment?
Q Aluminum cannot be destroyed in the environment, it can
only change its form.
Q In the air, aluminum binds to small particles, which can
stay suspended for many days.
Q Under most conditions, a small amount of aluminum will
dissolve in lakes, streams, and rivers.
Q It can be taken up by some plants from soil.
Q Aluminum is not accumulated to a significant extent in
most plants or animals.
How might I be exposed to aluminum?
Q Virtually all food, water, air, and soil contain some
aluminum.
Q The average adult in the U.S. eats about 7-9 mg
aluminum per day in their food.
Q Breathing higher levels of aluminum dust in workplace air.
Q Living in areas where the air is dusty, where aluminum is
mined or processed into aluminum metal, near certain
hazardous waste sites, or where aluminum is naturally high.
Q Eating substances containing high levels of aluminum
(such as antacids) especially when eating or drinking citrus
products at the same time.
Q Children and adults may be exposed to small amounts of
aluminum from vaccinations.
Q Very little enters your body from aluminum cooking
utensils.
How can aluminum affect my health?
Only very small amounts of aluminum that you may inhale, ingest,
or have skin contact with will enter the bloodstream.
Exposure to aluminum is usually not harmful, but exposure to
high levels can affect your health. Workers who breathe large
amounts of aluminum dusts can have lung problems, such as
coughing or abnormal chest X-rays. Some workers who breathe
aluminum dusts or aluminum fumes have decreased performance
in some tests that measure functions of the nervous system.
Some people with kidney disease store a lot of aluminum in their
bodies and sometimes develop bone or brain diseases which

may be caused by the excess aluminum. Some studies show that
people exposed to high levels of aluminum may develop
Alzheimer's disease, but other studies have not found this to be
true. We do not know for certain whether aluminum causes
Alzheimer's disease.
Studies in animals show that the nervous system is a sensitive
target of aluminum toxicity. Obvious signs of damage were not
seen in animals after high oral doses of aluminum. However, the
animals did not perform as well in tests that measured the strength
of their grip or how much they moved around.
We do not know if aluminum will affect reproduction in people.
Aluminum does not appear to affect fertility in animals.
How likely is aluminum to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the
EPA have not evaluated the carcinogenic potential of aluminum
in humans. Aluminum has not been shown to cause cancer in
animals.
How can aluminum affect children?
Children with kidney problems who were given aluminum in their
medical treatments developed bone diseases. It does not appear
that children are more sensitive to aluminum than adults.
We do not know if aluminum will cause birth defects in people.
Birth defects have not been seen in animals. Aluminum in large
amounts has been shown to be harmful to unborn and developing
animals because it can cause delays in skeletal and neurological
development.
Aluminum is found in breast milk, but only a small amount of this
aluminum will enter the infant's body through breastfeeding.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
aluminum?
Q Since aluminum is so common and widespread in the
environment, families cannot avoid exposure to aluminum.
Q Avoid taking large quantities of aluminum-containing
antacids and buffered aspirin and take these medications as
directed.
Q Make sure all medications have child-proof caps so
children will not accidentally eat them.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I have
been exposed to aluminum?
All people have small amounts of aluminum in their bodies.
Aluminum can be measured in blood, bones, feces, or urine.
Urine and blood aluminum measurements can tell you
whether you have been exposed to larger-than-normal
amounts of aluminum. Measuring bone aluminum can also
indicate exposure to high levels, but this requires a bone
biopsy.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The EPA has recommended a Secondary Maximum
Contaminant Level (SMCL) of 0.05-0.2 milligrams per liter
(mg/L) for aluminum in drinking water. The SMCL is not
based on levels that will affect humans or animals. It is
based on taste, smell, or color.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
has limited workers' exposure to aluminum in dusts to
15 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) (total dust) and
5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction) of air for an 8-hour workday,
40-hour workweek.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that
aluminum used as food additives and medicinals such as antacids
are generally safe.

Arsenic and Drinking Water from Private Wells
What is arsenic?
Arsenic is an element that occurs naturally in rocks and soil and is used for a variety of
purposes within industry and agriculture. It is also a byproduct of copper smelting, mining,
and coal burning. Arsenic can combine with other elements to make chemicals used to
preserve wood and to kill insects on cotton and other agricultural crops.
For more information about arsenic illnesses and treatment, please visit CDC-ATSDR's arsenic
(http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts2.html) page.
(#) OTOP
Where and how does arsenic get into drinking water?
Arsenic can enter the water supply from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and
agricultural pollution. It is widely believed that naturally occurring arsenic dissolves out of
certain rock formations when ground water levels drop significantly. Some industries in the
United States release thousands of pounds of arsenic into the environment every year. Once
released, arsenic remains in the environment for a long time. Arsenic is removed from the air
by rain, snow, and gradual settling. Once on the ground or in surface water, arsenic can slowly
enter ground water. High arsenic levels in private wells may come from certain arsenic
containing fertilizers used in the past or industrial waste. It may also indicate improper well
construction or overuse of chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the past.

How can I find out whether there is arsenic in my drinking water?
If you suspect a problem and your drinking water comes from a private well, you may contact
your state certification officer (http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw/labs/index.html) &
(http://www.cdc.gov/Other/disclaimer.html) for a list of laboratories in your area that will perform
tests on drinking water for a fee.
(#)
How do I remove arsenic from my drinking water?
Heating or boiling your water will not remove arsenic. Because some of the water evaporates
during the boiling process, the arsenic concentrations can actually increase slightly as the
water is boiled. Additionally, chlorine (bleach) disinfection will not remove arsenic.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about arsenic. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Exposure to higher than average levels of arsenic occur mostly in
the workplace, near hazardous waste sites, or in areas with high natural levels. At
high levels, inorganic arsenic can cause death. Exposure to lower levels for a long
time can cause a discoloration of the skin and the appearance of small corns or
warts. Arsenic has been found in at least 1,149 of the 1,684 National Priority List
sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is arsenic?
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element widely distributed in
the earth's crust. In the environment, arsenic is combined
with oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur to form inorganic arsenic
compounds. Arsenic in animals and plants combines with
carbon and hydrogen to form organic arsenic compounds.
Inorganic arsenic compounds are mainly used to preserve
wood. Copper chromated arsenate (CCA) is used to make
"pressure-treated" lumber. CCA is no longer used in the
U.S. for residential uses; it is still used in industrial
applications. Organic arsenic compounds are used as
pesticides, primarily on cotton fields and orchards.
What happens to arsenic when it enters the
environment?
Q Arsenic occurs naturally in soil and minerals and may
enter the air, water, and land from wind-blown dust and may
get into water from runoff and leaching.
Q Arsenic cannot be destroyed in the environment. It can
only change its form.
Q Rain and snow remove arsenic dust particles from the air.
Q Many common arsenic compounds can dissolve in water.
Most of the arsenic in water will ultimately end up in soil or
sediment.
Q Fish and shellfish can accumulate arsenic; most of this
arsenic is in an organic form called arsenobetaine that is
much less harmful.
How might I be exposed to arsenic?
Q Ingesting small amounts present in your food and water
or breathing air containing arsenic.
Q Breathing sawdust or burning smoke from wood treated
with arsenic.
Q Living in areas with unusually high natural levels of
arsenic in rock.
Q Working in a job that involves arsenic production or use,
such as copper or lead smelting, wood treating, or pesticide
application.
How can arsenic affect my health?
Breathing high levels of inorganic arsenic can give you a
sore throat or irritated lungs.
Ingesting very high levels of arsenic can result in death.
Exposure to lower levels can cause nausea and vomiting,
decreased production of red and white blood cells, abnormal
heart rhythm, damage to blood vessels, and a sensation of
"pins and needles" in hands and feet.
Ingesting or breathing low levels of inorganic arsenic for a
long time can cause a darkening of the skin and the
appearance of small "corns" or "warts" on the palms, soles,
and torso.
Skin contact with inorganic arsenic may cause redness and
swelling.

Almost nothing is known regarding health effects of organic
arsenic compounds in humans. Studies in animals show that
some simple organic arsenic compounds are less toxic than
inorganic forms. Ingestion of methyl and dimethyl
compounds can cause diarrhea and damage to the kidneys
How likely is arsenic to cause cancer?
Several studies have shown that ingestion of inorganic
arsenic can increase the risk of skin cancer and cancer in the
liver, bladder, and lungs. Inhalation of inorganic arsenic can
cause increased risk of lung cancer. The Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the EPA have
determined that inorganic arsenic is a known human
carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) has determined that inorganic arsenic is
carcinogenic to humans.
How can arsenic affect children?
There is some evidence that long-term exposure to arsenic in
children may result in lower IQ scores. There is also some
evidence that exposure to arsenic in the womb and early
childhood may increase mortality in young adults.
There is some evidence that inhaled or ingested arsenic can
injure pregnant women or their unborn babies, although the
studies are not definitive. Studies in animals show that large
doses of arsenic that cause illness in pregnant females, can
also cause low birth weight, fetal malformations, and even
fetal death. Arsenic can cross the placenta and has been
found in fetal tissues. Arsenic is found at low levels in
breast milk.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
arsenic?
Q If you use arsenic-treated wood in home projects, you
should wear dust masks, gloves, and protective clothing to
decrease exposure to sawdust.
Q If you live in an area with high levels of arsenic in water
or soil, you should use cleaner sources of water and limit
contact with soil.
Q If you work in a job that may expose you to arsenic, be aware
that you may carry arsenic home on your clothing, skin, hair, or
tools. Be sure to shower and change clothes before going home.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to arsenic?
There are tests available to measure arsenic in your blood, urine,
hair, and fingernails. The urine test is the most reliable test for
arsenic exposure within the last few days. Tests on hair and
fingernails can measure exposure to high levels of arsenic over
the past 6-12 months. These tests can determine if you have
been exposed to above-average levels of arsenic. They cannot
predict whether the arsenic levels in your body will affect your
health.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The EPA has set limits on the amount of arsenic that
industrial sources can release to the environment and has
restricted or cancelled many of the uses of arsenic in
pesticides. EPA has set a limit of 0.01 parts per million (ppm)
for arsenic in drinking water.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 10 micrograms
of arsenic per cubic meter of workplace air (10 ug/m3) for 8
hour shifts and 40 hour work weeks.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about beryllium. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: People working or living near beryllium industries have the
greatest potential for exposure to beryllium. Lung damage has been observed
in people exposed to high levels of beryllium in the air. About 1-15% of all
people occupationally-exposed to beryllium in air become sensitive to beryllium
and may develop chronic beryllium disease (CBD), an irreversible and
sometimes fatal scarring of the lungs. CBD may be completely asymptomatic or
begin with coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, and/or fatigue.
Beryllium has been found in at least 535 of the 1,613 National Priorities List
sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is beryllium?
Beryllium is a hard, grayish metal naturally found in mineral
rocks, coal, soil, and volcanic dust. Beryllium ore is mined,
and the beryllium is purified for use in nuclear weapons and
reactors, aircraft and space vehicle structures, instruments, x-
ray machines, and mirrors. Beryllium oxide is used to make
speciality ceramics for electrical and high-technology
applications. Beryllium alloys are used in automobiles,
computers, sports equipment (golf clubs), and dental
bridges.
What happens to beryllium when it enters the
environment?
Q Beryllium dust enters the air from burning coal and oil.
This beryllium dust will eventually settle over the land and
water.
Q It enters water from erosion of rocks and soil, and from
industrial waste. Some beryllium compounds will dissolve in
water, but most stick to particles and settle to the bottom.
Q Most beryllium in soil does not dissolve in water and
remains bound to soil.
Q Beryllium does not accumulate in the food chain.
How might I be exposed to beryllium?
Q The general population is normally exposed to low levels
of beryllium in air, food, and water.
Q People working in industries where beryllium is mined,
processed, machined, or converted into metal, alloys, and
other chemicals may be exposed to high levels of beryllium.
People living near these industries may also be exposed to
higher than normal levels of beryllium in air.
Q People living near uncontrolled hazardous waste sites may
be exposed to higher than normal levels of beryllium.
How can beryllium affect my health?
Beryllium can be harmful if you breathe it. The effects
depend on how much you are exposed to, for how long, and
individual susceptibility. If beryllium air levels are high
enough (greater than 1000 ug/m3), an acute condition can
result. This condition resembles pneumonia and is called
acute beryllium disease Occupational and community air
standards are effective in preventing acute lung damage.
Some exposed workers (1-15%) become sensitive to
beryllium. These individuals may develop an inflammatory
reaction in the respiratory system. This condition is called
chronic beryllium disease (CBD), and can occur years after
exposure to higher than normal levels of beryllium (greater
than 0.2 ug/m3). This disease can make you feel weak and
tired, and can cause difficulty in breathing. It can also result
in anorexia, weight loss, and may also lead to right side heart

enlargement and heart disease in advanced cases. Some
people who are sensitized to beryllium may not have any
symptoms. The general population is unlikely to develop
chronic beryllium disease because ambient air levels of
beryllium are normally very low (0.00003-0.0002 ug/m3).
Swallowing beryllium has not been reported to cause effects
in humans because very little beryllium is absorbed from the
stomach and intestines. Ulcers have been seen in dogs
ingesting beryllium in the diet. Beryllium contact with skin
that has been scraped or cut may cause rashes or ulcers.
How likely is beryllium to cause cancer?
Long term exposure to beryllium can increase the risk of
developing lung cancer in people.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
have determined that beryllium is a human carcinogen. The
EPA has determined that beryllium is a probable human
carcinogen. EPA has estimated that lifetime exposure to
0.04 ug/m3 beryllium can result in a one in a thousand chance
of developing cancer.
How can beryllium affect children?
It is likely that the health effects seen in children exposed to
beryllium will be similar to the effects seen in adults. We do
not know whether children differ from adults in their
susceptibility to beryllium.
We do not know if exposure to beryllium will result in birth
defects or other developmental effects in people. The
studies on developmental effects in animals are not
conclusive.
How can families reduce the risk of exposure to
beryllium?
Q Individuals working at facilities that use beryllium should
make sure that contaminated clothing and objects are not
brought home.
Q Children should avoid playing in soils near uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites where beryllium may have been
discarded.
Is there a medical test to show whether I've been
exposed to beryllium?
Beryllium can be measured in samples from your blood,
urine, skin, or lungs. These tests are rarely done because
they are not reliable measures of your exposure over time.
Also, these tests do not show if you have become sensitized
to beryllium.
Another test, the beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test
(BeLPT), can help your doctor decide if you are sensitized to
beryllium. This test is only done in a few specialized
laboratories, but doctors familiar with the test can collect
blood samples and send them for testing by overnight
carrier. The BeLPT is most often done for people who work
with beryllium. It is also useful for separating chronic
beryllium disease from diagnoses that resemble it (for
example, sarcoidosis). Depending on your exposure history,
clinical findings, and test results, your doctor may also
recommend additional specialized testing.
Has the federal government made
recommendations to protect human health?
The EPA restricts the amount of beryllium that industries
may release into the air to 0.01 ug/m3, averaged over a 30-
day period.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
sets a limit of 2 ug/m3 for an 8-hour work shift measured as a
personal sample.

information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other

HIGHLIGHTS: Exposure to cadmium happens mostly in the workplace where
cadmium products are made. The general population is exposed from breathing
cigarette smoke or eating cadmium contaminated foods. Cadmium damages the
kidneys, lungs, and bones. Cadmium has been found in at least 1,014 of the 1,669
National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
What is cadmium?
Cadmium is a natural element in the earth's crust. It is usually
found as a mineral combined with other elements such as
oxygen (cadmium oxide), chlorine (cadmium chloride), or
sulfur (cadmium sulfate, cadmium sulfide).
All soils and rocks, including coal and mineral fertilizers,
contain some cadmium. Most cadmium used in the United
States is extracted during the production of other metals like
zinc, lead, and copper. Cadmium does not corrode easily
and has many uses, including batteries, pigments, metal
coatings, and plastics.
What happens to cadmium when it enters the
environment?
Q Cadmium enters soil, water, and air from mining, industry,
and burning coal and household wastes.
Q Cadmium does not break down in the environment, but
can change forms.
Q Cadmium particles in air can travel long distances before
falling to the ground or water.
Q Some forms of cadmium dissolve in water.
Q Cadmium binds strongly to soil particles.
Q Fish, plants, and animals take up cadmium from the
environment.
How might I be exposed to cadmium?
Q Eating foods containing cadmium; low levels are found
in all foods (highest levels are found in shellfish, liver, and
kidney meats).
Q Smoking cigarettes or breathing cigarette smoke.
Q Breathing contaminated workplace air.
Q Drinking contaminated water.
Q Living near industrial facilities which release cadmium
into the air.
How can cadmium affect my health?
Breathing high levels of cadmium can severely damage
the lungs. Eating food or drinking water with very high
levels severely irritates the stomach, leading to vomiting
and diarrhea.
Long-term exposure to lower levels of cadmium in air, food,
or water leads to a buildup of cadmium in the kidneys and
possible kidney disease. Other long-term effects are lung
damage and fragile bones.
How likely is cadmium to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
has determined that cadmium and cadmium compounds
are known human carcinogens.

How can cadmium affect children?
The health effects in children are expected to be similar
to the effects seen in adults (kidney, lung, and bone
damage depending on the route of exposure).
A few studies in animals indicate that younger animals
absorb more cadmium than adults. Animal studies also
indicate that the young are more susceptible than adults
to a loss of bone and decreased bone strength from
exposure to cadmium.
We don't know if cadmium causes birth defects in people.
The babies of animals exposed to high levels of cadmium
during pregnancy had changes in behavior and learning ability.
There is also some information from animal studies that high
enough exposures to cadmium before birth can reduce body
weights and affect the skeleton in the developing young.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
cadmium?
Q In the home, store substances that contain cadmium safely,
and keep nickel-cadmium batteries out of reach of young
children.
Q Cadmium is a component of tobacco smoke. Avoid
smoking in enclosed spaces like inside the home or car in
order to limit exposure to children and other family members.
Q If you work with cadmium, use all safety precautions to
avoid carrying cadmium-containing dust home from work
on your clothing, skin, hair, or tools.
Q A balanced diet can reduce the amount of cadmium
taken into the body from food and drink.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to cadmium?
Cadmium can be measured in blood, urine, hair, or nails.
Urinary cadmium has been shown to accurately reflect
the amount of cadmium in the body.
The amount of cadmium in your blood shows your recent
exposure to cadmium. The amount of cadmium in your
urine shows both your recent and your past exposure.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The EPA has determined that exposure to cadmium in
drinking water at concentrations of 0.04 ppm for up to
10 days is not expected to cause any adverse effects in a
child.
The EPA has determined that lifetime exposure to
0.005 ppm cadmium is not expected to cause any
adverse effects.
The FDA has determined that the cadmium concentration
in bottled drinking water should not exceed 0.005 ppm.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration
(OSHA) has limited workers' exposure to an average of
5 |J,g/m3 for an 8-hour workday, 40-hour workweek.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about chromium. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Exposure to chromium occurs from ingesting contaminated food
or drinking water or breathing contaminated workplace air. Chromium(VI) at high
levels can damage the nose and cause cancer. Ingesting high levels of chromium(VI)
may result in anemia or damage to the stomach or intestines. Chromium(III) is an
essential nutrient. Chromium has been found in at least 1,127 of the 1,669 National
Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is chromium?
Chromium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks,
animals, plants, and soil. It can exist in several different
forms. Depending on the form it takes, it can be a liquid,
solid, or gas. The most common forms are chromium(O),
chromium(III), and chromium(VI). No taste or odor is
associated with chromium compounds.
The metal chromium, which is the chromium(O) form, is
used for making steel. Chromium(VI) and chromium(III)
are used for chrome plating, dyes and pigments, leather
tanning, and wood preserving.
What happens to chromium when it enters the
environment?
Q Chromium can be found in air soil, and water after release
from the manufacture, use, and disposal of chromium-based
products, and during the manufacturing process.
Q Chromium does not usually remain in the atmosphere,
but is deposited into the soil and water .
Q Chromium can easily change from one form to another
in water and soil, depending on the conditions present.
Q Fish do not accumulate much chromium in their bodies
from water.
How might I be exposed to chromium?
Q Eating food containing chromium(III).
Q Breathing contaminated workplace air or skin contact
during use in the workplace.
Q Drinking contaminated well water.
Q Living near uncontrolled hazardous waste sites containing
chromium or industries that use chromium.
How can chromium affect my health?
Chromium(III) is an essential nutrient that helps the body
use sugar, protein, and fat.
Breathing high levels of chromium(VI) can cause
irritation to the lining of the nose, nose ulcers, runny
nose, and breathing problems, such as asthma, cough,
shortness of breath, or wheezing. The concentrations of
chromium in air that can cause these effects may be
different for different types of chromium compounds,
with effects occurring at much lower concentrations for
chromium(VI) compared to chromium(III).
The main health problems seen in animals following
ingestion of chromium(VI) compounds are irritation and
ulcers in the stomach and small intestine and anemia.
Chromium (III) compounds are much less toxic and do
not appear to cause these problems.
Sperm damage and damage to the male reproductive
system have also been seen in laboratory animals exposed
to chromium (VI).

Skin contact with certain chromium(VI) compounds can
cause skin ulcers. Some people are extremely sensitive
to chromium(VI) or chromium(III). Allergic reactions
consisting of severe redness and swelling of the skin
have been noted.
How likely is chromium to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
the International Agency for Reseach on Cancer (IARC),
and the EPA have determined that chromium(VI)
compounds are known human carcinogens. In workers,
inhalation of chromium (VI) has been shown to cause
lung cancer. Chromium(VI) also causes lung cancer in
animals. An increase in stomach tumors was observed in
humans and animals exposed to chromium(VI) in drinking
water.
How can chromium affect children?
It is likely that health effects seen in children exposed to
high amounts of chromium will be similar to the effects
seen in adults.
We do not know if exposure to chromium will result in
birth defects or other developmental effects in people.
Some developmental effects have been observed in
animals exposed to chromium(VI).
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
chromium?
Q Children should avoid playing in soils near uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites where chromium may have been
discarded.
Q Chromium is a component of tobacco smoke. Avoid
smoking in enclosed spaces like inside the home or car in
order to limit exposure to children and other family members.
Q Although chromium(III) is an essential nutrient, you should
avoid excessive use of dietary supplements containing
chromium.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to chromium?
Since chromium (III) is an essential element and naturally
occurs in food, there will always be some level of
chromium in your body. Chromium can be measured in
hair, urine, and blood.
Higher than normal levels of chromium in blood or urine
may indicate that a person has been exposed to
chromium. However, increases in blood and urine
chromium levels cannot be used to predict the kind of
health effects that might develop from that exposure.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The EPA has determined that exposure to chromium in
drinking water at concentrations of 1 mg/L for up to
10 days is not expected to cause any adverse effects in a
child.
The FDA has determined that the chromium
concentration in bottled drinking water should not exceed
Img/L.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration
(OSHA) has limited workers' exposure to an average of
0.005 mg/m3 chromium(VI), 0.5 mg/m 3 chromium(III),
and 1.0 mg/m 3 chromium(O) for an 8-hour workday,
40-hour workweek.

Private Well Water and Fluoride
This fact sheet addresses questions that consumers may have on fluoride levels in groundwater from
private wells.
How do I know if my water is from a public water system or a private well?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines a Public Water System as a system that serves 25
or more people per day. If you have water service from a well that has a limited delivery, such as to
your house but not to your neighbor's house, then you likely have a private well.
What are the governmental regulations for private wells?
Although most U.S. households are connected to a public water system, the U.S. Geological Survey
report "Estimated Use of Water in the United States in 2005" estimates that 14% of United States
residents rely on private wells that are not regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Act. In most
states, private wells are not regulated by governmental regulatory entities. Therefore, it is the
responsibility of the homeowner to know and understand the quality of the water from their well. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency suggests that all wells be tested for quality once every three
years since influences to well water quality can change over time. Contact your public health office
for their advice on testing of private wells in your state or area. Additional information on testing
well water quality in private wells serving homes can be found on the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Web site.
My home gets its water from a private well. What do I need to know about fluoride and
groundwater from a well?
Fluoride is present in virtually all waters at some level, and it is important to know the fluoride
content of your water, particularly if you have children. A 2008 U.S. Geological Survey study found
that 4% of sampled wells had natural fluoride levels above the EPA Secondary Maximum
Contaminant Level (SMCL) of 2 mg/L. A smaller set of 1.2% of all wells exceeded the Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) of 4 mg/L. If you have a home well, the EPA recommends having a
sample of your water analyzed by a laboratory at least once every three years. Check with your
dentist, physician, or public health department to learn how to have your home well water tested.
What should I do if the water from my well has less fluoride than the recommended level of 0.7
mg/L? Can I add fluoride?
The recommended fluoride level in drinking water for good oral health is 0.7 mg/L (milligrams per
liter). If fluoride levels in your drinking water are lower than 0.7 mg/L, your child's dentist or
pediatrician should evaluate whether your child could benefit from daily fluoride supplements. (The
prescription dosage of fluoride supplements should be consistent with the schedule* 18 (PDF-43 IK)
established by the American Dental Association (ADA) Council on Scientific Affairs.) Their
recommendation will depend on your child's risk of developing tooth decay, as well as exposure to
other sources of fluoride, such as drinking water at school or day care, and fluoride toothpaste. It is

not feasible to add fluoride to an individual residence's well.
What should I do if the water from my well has fluoride levels that are higher than the
recommended level of 0.7 mg/L?
In some regions in the United States, community drinking water and private wells can contain levels
of naturally occurring fluoride that are greater than the level recommended by the CDC for
preventing tooth decay. Consuming water with fluoride between 0.6 and 2.0 mg/L results in reduced
tooth decay, but consumption of water with fluoride exceeding 2.0 mg/L may increase the potential
for dental fluorosis.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently has a non-enforceable recommended
guideline for fluoride of 2.0 mg/L to protect against dental fluorosis. If your home is served by a
private well that has fluoride levels exceeding this recommended guideline, but lower than 4.0 mg/L,
then it is best to provide children under 8 years of age with an alternative water source, such as
bottled water with a low fluoride content.
Continue to test your well water's quality every three years as recommended by EPA.
What should I do if my well water was measured as having too much fluoride (level greater
than 4 mg/L)?
It is unusual to have the fluoride content of water exceed 4 mg/L. If a laboratory report indicates that
you have such excessive fluoride content, it is recommended that the water be retested. At least four
samples should be collected, a minimum of one week apart, and the results compared. If one sample
is above 4 mg/L and the other samples are less than 4 mg/L, then the high value may have been an
erroneous measurement. If all samples register excessive levels greater than 4 mg/L, then you may
want to consider investigating alternate sources of water for drinking and cooking, or installing a
device to remove the fluoride from your home water source. Physical contact with high fluoride
content water, such as bathing or dishwashing, is safe since fluoride does not pass through the skin.
Back to Top
What are the health risks of consuming water with fluoride levels greater than 4 mg/L?
Children aged 8 years and younger have an increased chance of developing severe tooth dental
fluorosis. Consumption over a lifetime may increase the likelihood of bone fractures, and may result
in skeletal fluorosis, a painful or even crippling disease. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has determined that safe exposure of fluoride is below 4 mg/L in drinking water to avoid those
effects.
Will using a home water filtration system take the fluoride out of my home's water?
Removal of fluoride from water is difficult. Most home point-of-use treatment systems that are
installed at single faucets use activated carbon filtration, which does not remove the fluoride. Reverse
osmosis point-of-use devices can effectively remove fluoride, although the amount may vary given
individual circumstances. For a home point-of-use device to claim a reduction in fluoride, it must
meet National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 58 criteria for fluoride removal. Standard 58
requires that a device must achieve a 1.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) concentration in the product
water if the original concentration was 8.0 mg/L, or approximately 80 percent removal. This
percentage removal may not be consistent at lower concentrations of fluoride. Check with the
manufacturer of the individual product for specific product information.

Fluoride is not released from water when it is boiled or frozen. One exception would be a water
distillation system. These systems heat water to the boiling point and then collect water vapor as it
evaporates. Water distillation systems are typically used in laboratories. For home use, these systems
can be expensive and may present safety and maintenance concerns.
Can I use water with fluoride for preparing infant formula?
Yes, you can use well water for preparing infant formula. It is important, however, to ensure that the
well water has been recently tested to verify safety. EPA suggests that well water should be tested a
minimum of once every three years for micro-organisms and other substances. In addition, parents of
young children should also have their well water tested for fluoride content.
For more information on private well testing, contact your local health department or visit the EPA
Web site. Parents and caregivers should speak with their pediatrician to review the results of the
private well testing and to determine if the well water should be boiled prior to mixing the formula. If
you are advised to boil the water, be sure to boil the water only one time so that you don't
concentrate substances by the boiling process itself.
If your child is exclusively consuming infant formula reconstituted with well water, and if that water
contains fluoride, there is an increased chance for dental fluorosis. To lessen this chance, parents can
use low-fluoride bottled water some of the time to mix infant formula; these bottled water are labeled
as de-ionized, purified, demineralized, or distilled. For more information, see Overview: Infant
Formula and Fluorosis.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about fluorides, hydrogen
fluoride, and fluorine. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737.
This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It
is important you understand this information because these substances may harm you. The effects of
exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal
traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Fluorides are naturally occurring compounds. Low levels of
fluorides can help prevent dental cavities. At high levels, fluorides can result in
tooth and bone damage. Hydrogen fluoride and fluorine are naturally-occurring
gases that are very irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. These
substances have been found in at least 188 of the 1,636 National Priorities List sites
identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What are fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and
fluorine?
Fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorine are chemically
related. Fluorine is a naturally-occurring, pale yellow-green
gas with a sharp odor. It combines with metals to make
fluorides such as sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride, both
white solids. Sodium fluoride dissolves easily in water, but
calcium fluoride does not. Fluorine also combines with
hydrogen to make hydrogen fluoride, a colorless gas.
Hydrogen fluoride dissolves in water to form hydrofluoric
acid.
Fluorine and hydrogen fluoride are used to make certain
chemical compounds. Hydrofluoric acid is used for etching
glass. Other fluoride compounds are used in making steel,
chemicals, ceramics, lubricants, dyes, plastics, and pesticides.
Fluorides are often added to drinking water supplies and to
a variety of dental products, including toothpaste and mouth
rinses, to prevent dental cavities.
What happens to fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and
fluorine when they enter the environment?
QFluorine cannot be destroyed in the environment; it can
only change its form. Fluorine forms salts with minerals in
soil.
QHydrogen fluoride gas will be absorbed by rain and into
clouds and fog to form hydrofluoric acid, which will fall to
the ground.
QFluorides released to the air from volcanoes and industry
are carried by wind and rain to nearby water, soil, and food
sources.
QFluorides in water and soil will form strong associations
with sediment or soil particles.
QFluorides will accumulate in plants and animals. In
animals, the fluoride accumulates primarily in the bones or
shell rather than in soft tissues.
How might I be exposed to fluorides, hydrogen
fluoride, and fluorine?
QThe general population can be exposed to fluorides in
contaminated air, food, drinking water and soil.
QPeople living in communities with fluoridated water or high
levels of naturally-occurring fluoride may be exposed to
higher levels.
QPeople who work or live near industries where fluoride-
containing substances are used may be exposed to higher
levels.
How can fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorine
affect my health?
Small amounts of fluoride help prevent tooth cavities, but
high levels can harm your health. In adults, exposure to
high levels of fluoride can result in denser bones. However,
if exposure is high enough, these bones may be more fragile
and brittle and there may be a greater risk of breaking the
bone. In animals, exposure to extremely high doses of
fluoride can result in decreased fertility and sperm and testes
damage.

CAS # 7681-49-4, 7664-39-3, 7782-41-4
ToxFAQs™ Internet address is http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaq.html
Fluorine and hydrogen fluoride are very irritating to the skin,
eyes, and respiratory tract. At high levels, such as may
occur through exposure from an industrial accident,
hydrogen fluoride may also damage the heart.
How likely are fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and
fluorine to cause cancer?
Most of the studies of people living in areas with fluoridated
water or naturally high levels of fluoride in drinking water did
not find an association between fluoride and cancer risk.
Two animal cancer studies were inconclusive. The
international Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
determined that the carcinogenicity of fluoride to humans is
not classifiable.
How can fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorine
affect children?
When used appropriately, fluoride is both safe and effective
in preventing and controlling cavities. Drinking or eating
excessive fluoride during the time teeth are being formed
(before 8 years of age) can cause visible changes in teeth.
This condition is called dental fluorosis. At very high
concentrations of fluoride, the teeth can become more fragile
and sometimes can break.
No studies have addressed whether low levels of fluoride will
cause birth defects in humans. Birth defects have not been
found in most studies of animals.
How can families reduce the risk of exposure to
fluorides, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorine?
In the home, children may be exposed to high levels of
fluorides if they swallow dental products containing
fluoridated toothpaste, gels, or rinses. Parents should
supervise brushing and place at most, a small pea size dab of
toothpaste on the brush and teach children not to swallow
dental products. People who live in areas with high levels of
naturally-occurring fluoride in the water should use
alternative sources of dinking water, such as bottled water.
Is there a medical test to show whether I've been
exposed to fluoride, hydrogen fluoride, and
fluorine?
Tests are available to measure fluoride levels in urine; these
tests can determine if you have been exposed to higher-than-
normal levels of fluorides. The urine test must be performed
soon after exposure because fluoride that is not stored in
bones leaves the body within a few days. The test cannot
be performed in the doctor's office, but can be done at most
laboratories that test for chemical exposure. The urine
fluoride test cannot be used to predict the nature or severity
of toxic effects. Bone sampling can be done in special cases
to measure long-term exposure to fluorides.
Has the federal government made
recommendations to protect human health?
The EPA has set a maximum amount of fluoride allowable in
drinking water of 4.0 milligrams per liter of water (4.0 mg/L).
For the prevention of dental decay, the Public Health Service
(PHS) has, since 1962, recommended that public water
supplies contain between 0.7 and 1.2 milligrams of fluoride
per liter of drinking water.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
has set limits of 0.2 milligrams per cubic meter (0.2 mg/m3) for
fluorine, 2.0 mg/m3 for hydrogen fluoride, and 2.5 mg/m3 for
fluoride in workroom air to protect workers during an 8-hour
shift over a 40-hour work week.

Lead and Drinking Water from Private Wells
What is lead?
Lead is a naturally occurring bluish-gray metal found in small amounts on the earth's outer
layer. Lead can be found in all parts of our environment. Much of it comes from human
activities including burning fossil fuels, mining, and manufacturing.
Lead is found in many different materials. It can still be found in lead-based paint, batteries,
ammunition, metal products such as solder and pipes, and devices to shield X-rays. Because of
health concerns, the amount of lead found in gasoline, paints and ceramic products, caulking,
and pipe solder has been reduced in recent years. As a result, the amount of lead in our blood
now is much less than it was 30 years ago.
For more information about lead illnesses and treatment, please visit CDC-ATSDR's lead
(http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfactsi3.html) page.
(#) OTOP
Where and how does lead get into drinking water?
Lead rarely occurs naturally in water; it usually gets into the water from the delivery system.
Lead pipes are the main contributor to high lead levels in tap water. Other sources include
parts of the water delivery system such as lead solder used to join copper pipes, brass in
faucets, coolers, and valves. Although brass usually contains low lead levels, the lead can still
dissolve into the water, especially when the fixtures are new. Private wells more than 20 years
old may contain lead in the "packer" element that is used to help seal the well above the well
screen. Some brands of older submersible pumps used in wells may also contain leaded-brass
components. Corrosion of pipes and fixture parts can cause the lead to get into tap water.
(#) OTOP
How can I find out whether there is lead in my drinking water?
If you suspect a problem and your drinking water comes from a private well, you may contact
your state certification officer (http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw/labs/index.html) &
(http://www.cdc.gov/Other/disclaimer.html) for a list of laboratories in your area that will perform
tests on drinking water for a fee.

How do I remove lead from my drinking water?
First, try to identify and remove the lead source. If you have a private well, check both the well
and the pump for potential lead sources. A licensed well water contractor can help you
determine if any of the well components are a source of lead.
Heating or boiling your water will not remove lead. Because some of the water evaporates
during the boiling process, the lead concentration of the water can actually increase slightly as
the water is boiled.
If it is not possible or cost-effective to remove the lead source, flushing the water system before
using the water for drinking or cooking may be an option. Any time a particular faucet has not
been used for several hours (approximately 6 or more), you can flush the system by running
the water for about 1-2 minutes or until the water becomes as cold as it will get. Flush each
faucet individually before using the water for drinking or cooking. You can use the water
flushed from the tap to water plants, wash dishes or clothing, or clean. Avoid cooking with or
drinking hot tap water because hot water dissolves lead more readily than cold water does. Do
not use hot tap water to make cereals, drinks or mix baby formula. You may draw cold water
after flushing the tap and then heat it if needed.
You may also wish to consider water treatment methods such as reverse osmosis, distillation,
and carbon filters specially designed to remove lead. Typically these methods are used to treat
water at only one faucet. Contact your local health department for recommended procedures. If
you want to know more about these filters, please contact NSF International
(http://nsf.org/certified/consumer/listings advanced.asp?
companyname=&productname=&programcode=WATER FILTER&f) &
fhttp://www.cdc.gov/Other/disclaimer.html). an organization for public health and safety through
standards development, product certification, education, and risk management. Remember to
have your well water tested regularly f/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/testing.html). at least
once a year, to make sure the problem is controlled.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about lead. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Exposure to lead can happen from breathing workplace air or
dust, eating contaminated foods, or drinking contaminated water. Children can be
exposed from eating lead-based paint chips or playing in contaminated soil. Lead
can damage the nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive system. Lead has been
found in at least 1,272 of the 1,684 National Priority List sites identified by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is lead?
Lead is a naturally occurring bluish-gray metal found in
small amounts in the earth's crust. Lead can be found in all
parts of our environment. Much of it comes from human
activities including burning fossil fuels, mining, and
manufacturing.
Lead has many different uses. It is used in the production of
batteries, ammunition, metal products (solder and pipes), and
devices to shield X-rays. Because of health concerns, lead
from paints and ceramic products, caulking, and pipe solder
has been dramatically reduced in recent years. The use of
lead as an additive to gasoline was banned in 1996 in the
United States.
What happens to lead when it enters the
environment?
Q Lead itself does not break down, but lead compounds are
changed by sunlight, air, and water.
Q When lead is released to the air, it may travel long
distances before settling to the ground.
Q Once lead falls onto soil, it usually sticks to soil
particles.
Q Movement of lead from soil into groundwater will depend
on the type of lead compound and the characteristics of the
soil.
How might I be exposed to lead?
Q Eating food or drinking water that contains lead. Water
pipes in some older homes may contain lead solder. Lead
can leach out into the water.
Q Spending time in areas where lead-based paints have
been used and are deteriorating. Deteriorating lead paint can
contribute to lead dust.
Q Working in a job where lead is used or engaging in
certain hobbies in which lead is used, such as making
stained glass.
Q Using health-care products or folk remedies that contain
lead.
How can lead affect my health?
The effects of lead are the same whether it enters the body
through breathing or swallowing. Lead can affect almost
every organ and system in your body. The main target for
lead toxicity is the nervous system, both in adults and
children. Long-term exposure of adults can result in
decreased performance in some tests that measure functions
of the nervous system. It may also cause weakness in
fingers, wrists, or ankles. Lead exposure also causes small
increases in blood pressure, particularly in middle-aged and
older people and can cause anemia. Exposure to high lead
levels can severely damage the brain and kidneys in adults
or children and ultimately cause death. In pregnant women,
high levels of exposure to lead may cause miscarriage. High-
level exposure in men can damage the organs responsible for
sperm production.
How likely is lead to cause cancer?
We have no conclusive proof that lead causes cancer in
humans. Kidney tumors have developed in rats and mice
that had been given large doses of some kind of lead
compounds. The Department of Health and Human Services

(DHHS) has determined that lead and lead compounds are
reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens and the EPA
has determined that lead is a probable human carcinogen.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
determined that inorganic lead is probably carcinogenic to
humans and that there is insufficient information to determine
whether organic lead compounds will cause cancer in
humans.
How can lead affect children?
Small children can be exposed by eating lead-based paint
chips, chewing on objects painted with lead-based paint, or
swallowing house dust or soil that contains lead.
Children are more vulnerable to lead poisoning than adults. A
child who swallows large amounts of lead may develop blood
anemia, severe stomachache, muscle weakness, and brain
damage. If a child swallows smaller amounts of lead, much
less severe effects on blood and brain function may occur.
Even at much lower levels of exposure, lead can affect a
child's mental and physical growth.
Exposure to lead is more dangerous for young and unborn
children. Unborn children can be exposed to lead through
their mothers. Harmful effects include premature births,
smaller babies, decreased mental ability in the infant, learning
difficulties, and reduced growth in young children. These
effects are more common if the mother or baby was exposed
to high levels of lead. Some of these effects may persist
beyond childhood.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
lead?
Q Avoid exposure to sources of lead.
Q Do not allow children to chew or mouth surfaces that
may have been painted with lead-based paint.
Q If you have a water lead problem, run or flush water that
has been standing overnight before drinking or cooking with
it.
Q Some types of paints and pigments that are used as
make-up or hair coloring contain lead. Keep these kinds of
products away from children
Q If your home contains lead-based paint or you live in an
area contaminated with lead, wash children's hands and faces
often to remove lead dusts and soil, and regularly clean the
house of dust and tracked in soil.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to lead?
A blood test is available to measure the amount of lead in
your blood and to estimate the amount of your recent
exposure to lead. Blood tests are commonly used to screen
children for lead poisoning. Lead in teeth or bones can be
measured by X-ray techniques, but these methods are not
widely available. Exposure to lead also can be evaluated by
measuring erythrocyte protoporphyrin (EP) in blood samples.
EP is a part of red blood cells known to increase when the
amount of lead in the blood is high. However, the EP level is
not sensitive enough to identify children with elevated blood
lead levels below about 25 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dL).
These tests usually require special analytical equipment that
is not available in a doctor's office. However, your doctor
can draw blood samples and send them to appropriate
laboratories for analysis.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends that states test children at ages 1 and 2 years.
Children should be tested at ages 3-6 years if they have
never been tested for lead, if they receive services from
public assistance programs for the poor such as Medicaid or
the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and
Children, if they live in a building or frequently visit a house
built before 1950; if they visit a home (house or apartment)
built before 1978 that has been recently remodeled; and/or if
they have a brother, sister, or playmate who has had lead
poisoning. CDC considers a blood lead level of 10 ug/dL to
be a level of concern for children.
EPA limits lead in drinking water to 15 ug per liter.

This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about manganese. For
more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a
series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you
understand this information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any
hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and
habits, and whether other chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Manganese is a trace element and eating a small amount from food
or water is needed to stay healthy. Exposure to excess levels of manganese may
occur from breathing air, particularly where manganese is used in manufacturing,
and from drinking water and eating food. At high levels, it can cause damage to
the brain. Manganese has been found in at least 869 of the 1,669 National Priorities
List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is manganese?
Manganese is a naturally occurring metal that is found in
many types of rocks. Pure manganese is silver-colored, but
does not occur naturally. It combines with other substances
such as oxygen, sulfur, or chlorine. Manganese occurs
naturally in most foods and may be added to some foods.
Manganese is used principally in steel production to improve
hardness, stiffness, and strength. It may also be used as an
additive in gasoline to improve the octane rating of the gas.
What happens to manganese when it enters the
environment?
Q Manganese can be released to the air, soil, and water
from the manufacture, use, and disposal of manganese-based
products.
Q Manganese cannot break down in the environment. It
can only change its form or become attached to or separated
from particles.
Q In water, manganese tends to attach to particles in the
water or settle into the sediment.
Q The chemical state of manganese and the type of soil
determine how fast it moves through the soil and how much
is retained in the soil.
Q The manganese-containing gasoline additive may degrade
in the environment quickly when exposed to sunlight,
releasing manganese.
How might I be exposed to manganese?
Q The primary way you can be exposed to manganese is
by eating food or manganese-containing nutritional
supplements. Vegetarians who consume foods rich in
manganese such as grains, beans and nuts, as well as heavy
tea drinkers, may have a higher intake of manganese than
the average person.
Q Certain occupations like welding or working in a factory
where steel is made may increase your chances of being
exposed to high levels of manganese.
Q Manganese is routinely contained in groundwater, drinking
water, and soil at low levels. Drinking water containing
manganese or swimming or bathing in water containing
manganese may expose you to low levels of this chemical.
How can manganese affect my health?
Manganese is an essential nutrient, and eating a small
amount of it each day is important to stay healthy.
The most common health problems in workers exposed
to high levels of manganese involve the nervous system.
These health effects include behavioral changes and other
nervous system effects, which include movements that
may become slow and clumsy. This combination of
symptoms when sufficiently severe is referred to as
"manganism". Other less severe nervous system effects
such as slowed hand movements have been observed in

some workers exposed to lower concentrations in the
work place.
Nervous system and reproductive effects have been
observed in animals after high oral doses of manganese.
How likely is manganese to cause cancer?
The EPA concluded that existing scientific information
cannot determine whether or not excess manganese can
cause cancer.
How can manganese affect children?
Studies in children have suggested that extremely high
levels of manganese exposure may produce undesirable
effects on brain development, including changes in
behavior and decreases in the ability to learn and
remember. We do not know for certain that these
changes were caused by manganese alone. We do not
know if these changes are temporary or permanent. We
do not know whether children are more sensitive than
adults to the effects of manganese, but there is some
indication from experiments in laboratory animals that
they may be.
Studies of manganese workers have not found increases
in birth defects or low birth weight in their offspring.
No birth defects were observed in animals exposed to
manganese.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
manganese?
Q Children are not likely to be exposed to harmful amounts
of manganese in the diet. However, higher-than-usual
amounts of manganese may be absorbed if their diet is low
in iron. It is important to provide your child with a well-
balanced diet.
Q Workers exposed to high levels of airborne manganese in
certain occupational settings may accumulate manganese dust
on their work clothes. Manganese-contaminated work
clothing should be removed before getting into your car or
entering your home to help reduce the exposure hazard for
yourself and your family.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to manganese?
Several tests are available to measure manganese in
blood, urine, hair, or feces. Because manganese is
normally present in our body, some is always found in
tissues or fluids.
Because excess manganese is usually removed from the
body within a few days, past exposures are difficult to
measure with common laboratory tests.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The EPA has determined that exposure to manganese in
drinking water at concentrations of 1 mg/L for up to
10 days is not expected to cause any adverse effects in a
child.
The EPA has established that lifetime exposure to 0.3 mg/L
manganese is not expected to cause any adverse effects.
The FDA has determined that the manganese concentration
in bottled drinking water should not exceed 0.05 mg/L.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
has established a ceiling limit (concentration that should not
be exceeded at any time during exposure) of 5 mg/m3 for
manganese in workplace air.

Nitrate and Drinking Water from Private Wells
What is nitrate?
Nitrate is a compound that is formed naturally when nitrogen combines with oxygen or ozone.
Nitrogen is essential for all living things, but high levels of nitrate in drinking water can be
dangerous to health, especially for infants and pregnant women. Nitrates are also made in
large amounts by plants and animals, and are released in smoke and industrial or automotive
exhaust.
For more information about nitrate illness and treatment, please visit EPA's nitrate
(http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/dw contamfs/nitrates.html) g
fhttp://www.cdc.gov/Other/ disclaimer.html) page.
C1TOP-
Where and how does nitrate get into drinking water?
Nitrate can occur naturally in surface and groundwater at a level that does not generally cause
health problems. High levels of nitrate in well water often result from improper well
construction, well location, overuse of chemical fertilizers, or improper disposal of human and
animal waste. Sources of nitrate that can enter your well include fertilizers, septic systems,
animal feedlots, industrial waste, and food processing waste. Wells maybe more vulnerable to
such contamination after flooding, particularly if the wells are shallow, have been dug or bored,
or have been submerged by floodwater for long periods of time.
How can I find out whether there is nitrate in my drinking water?
If you suspect a problem and your drinking water comes from a private well, you may contact
your state certification officer fhttp://www.epa.gov/ogwdw/labs/index.html) S
fhttp://www.cdc.gov/Other/ disclaimer.html) for a list of laboratories in your area that will perform
tests on drinking water for a fee.

How do I remove nitrate from my drinking water?
Nitrate may be successfully removed from water using treatment processes such as ion
exchange, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Contact your local health department for
recommended procedures.

CDC - Nitrate and Drinking Water from Private Wells - Wells - Private Water Systems -... Page 2 of 2
Heating or boiling your water will not remove nitrate. Because some of the water will evaporate
during the boiling process, the nitrate levels of water can actually increase slightly in
concentration if the water is boiled. Mechanical filters or chemical disinfection, such as
chlorination, DO NOT remove nitrate from water.
Remember to have your well water tested regularly
(/healthywater/drinking/private/wells/testing.html). at least once a year, after installing a
treatment system to make sure the problem is controlled.

Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine ToxFAQs1
January 2011
This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about nitrates and nitrites.
For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in
a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you
understand this information because these substances may harm you. The effects of exposure to any
hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and
habits, and whether other chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Nitrates and nitrites occur in soil, in water, and in some foods. They are
naturally occurring inorganic nitrogen ions. Nitrates are a natural part of the human diet.
When drinking water or eating food from areas containing nitrogen-based fertilizers, people
could be exposed to high nitrate and nitrite levels. The most serious health condition
caused by high nitrate or nitrite exposure is acute acquired methemoglobinemia. Infants
younger than 4 months of age exposed to high levels of nitrates/nitrites are especially prone
to acute acquired methemoglobinemia, which is described more fully in this fact sheet in
the section entitled "How can nitrates and nitrites affect my health?"
What are nitrates and nitrites?
Nitrate (NO 3") and nitrite (NO2 ") are inorganic ions that occur
naturally and are part of the nitrogen cycle. Nitrates (e.g.,
potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate) are common
ingredients of fertilizer that contains nitrogen.
What happens to nitrates and nitrites when they
enter the environment?
Q Nitrite oxidizes easily into nitrate. Nitrate thus more
frequently occurs in groundwater and surface water.
Q Nitrate-containing compounds in the soil are generally
soluble, which means they dissolve easily in water. Nitrates
thus flow easily into groundwater.
Q Nitrates and nitrites both occur in soil and water.
Microbes break down animal and human organic wastes in
soil and water. This breakdown process converts wastes
into ammonia, which then oxidizes into nitrite and nitrate.
How might I be exposed to nitrates and nitrites?
Q You might be exposed to nitrates and nitrites as normal
parts of a human diet. Vegetables such as cauliflower,
spinach, collard greens, broccoli, beets, and root vegetables
have naturally greater nitrate content than do other plant
foods.
Q You may be exposed to high amounts of nitrates/nitrites
from soil and water contaminated by runoff from nitrogen-
containing fertilizers (e.g., potassium nitrate and ammonium
nitrate).
Q You may be exposed to nitrates/nitrites from contaminated
foodstuffs, from certain medications, and from certain
inhalants that give off nitrite fumes.

How can nitrates and nitrites affect my health?
Excessive nitrate or nitrite exposure can result in acute
acquired methemoglobinemia, a serious health
condition.
Hemoglobin in blood carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues
and helps carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
Hemoglobin in blood contains iron normally found in the
Fe2+ (ferrous) state. But excessive nitrates or nitrites can
alter the iron in hemoglobin to the Fe3+ (ferric) state. This
forms methemoglobin, an abnormal form of hemoglobin. As
methemoglobin forms, the blood loses its ability to carry oxygen
to tissues (anoxia).
Methemoglobinemia is actually an excess of methemoglobin in
the blood. Methemoglobinemia can cause cyanosis (blue skin)
of limbs/trunk, weakness, and rapid heart rate. If
methemoglobinemia progresses in severity, central nervous
system depression can occur, as can headache, dizziness,
fatigue, difficulty in breathing, and nausea. Finally, severe
methemoglobinemia can cause lethargy, brief loss of
consciousness, irregular heartbeat, shock, convulsions,
coma, and even death. In fact, methemoglobin levels greater
than 50% are potentially fatal (Nathan et al. 1977).
Nitrate and nitrite medications may cause hypotension (low
blood pressure). But ingestion of nitrates and nitrites in
food and water does not commonly result in hypotension.
Maternal exposure to environmental nitrates and nitrites may
increase the risk of pregnancy complications such as anemia,
abortion, premature labor, or preeclampsia.

CAS # 84145-82-4,14797-65-0
ToxFAQs™ Internet address is http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaq.html
Methemoglobinemia can also occur from other causes.
Exposure to oxidizing drugs or chemicals, systemic acidosis
(a generalized, abnormal increase in body fluid acidity),
diarrhea, or some genetic disorders such as infant cyanosis
(bluish discoloration of skin and mucus membranes) shortly
after birth can all result in methemoglobinemia.
How likely are nitrates and nitrites to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have not
classified nitrates and nitrites as to their human
carcinogenicity.
Still, a metabolic pathway is available for nitrites to react with
molecules in organisms to form N-nitroso compounds, some
of which may cause cancer.
How can nitrates and nitrites affect children?
In some infants, fetal methemoglobinemia can be a significant
problem. An infant's highly alkaline gastrointestinal system
favors the growth of nitrate-reducing bacteria, particularly in
the stomach and especially after ingestion of contaminated
water. This can lead to conversion of nitrates into high levels
of nitrites. These can change the hemoglobin in blood to
methemoglobin. An adult stomach, however, is typically
too acidic to allow for significant bacterial growth that
would convert nitrates to nitrites.
Infants younger than 4 months of age are prone to nitrite
exposure, especially infants who ingest formula diluted with
water from nitrate-contaminated rural domestic wells. A
portion of hemoglobin in young infants is still in the form of
fetal hemoglobin. Nitrites can more readily generate met-
hemoglobin from oxidized fetal hemoglobin than from adult
hemoglobin. Thus, infants less than 4 months of age, and
especially premature infants, are particularly susceptible to
such exposure.
At or near the 30th week of pregnancy, an expectant mother
and her fetus might be more sensitive to toxicity from nitrites
or nitrates.
How can families reduce the risk of exposure to
nitrates and nitrites?
Q You should avoid exposure to water, soil, or food
contaminated with high levels of nitrates and nitrites.
Q If you have well water that comes from areas that contain
large amounts of nitrogen-containing fertilizers, you should
monitor the water closely.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to nitrates and nitrites?
No routine medical tests are available to determine nitrate
and nitrite levels.
Routine blood tests are available to detect
methemoglobinemia. But these tests cannot tell whether the
high methemoglobin levels were caused by nitrates or nitrites.
Has the federal government made recommendations
to protect human health?
The U.S. EPA has set an enforceable standard called a
maximum contaminant level (MCL) for nitrates at
10 ppm and for nitrites at 1 ppm in drinking water. Public
water supplies meeting certain criteria must follow these
regulations.
The U.S. EPA has set a reference dose (RfD) for nitrate of
1.6 mg nitrate nitrogen/kg body weight per day (equivalent
to about 7.0 mg nitrate ion/kg body weight per day).
The U.S. EPA has set an RfD of 0.1 mg nitrite
nitrogen/kg body weight per day (equivalent to 0.33 mg
nitrite ion/kg body weight per day).

Division of Toxicology ToxFAQs1
This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about zinc. For more
information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series
of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this
information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance
depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other
chemicals are present.
HIGHLIGHTS: Zinc is a naturally occurring element. Exposure to high levels
of zinc occurs mostly from eating food, drinking water, or breathing workplace
air that is contaminated. Low levels of zinc are essential for maintaining good
health. Exposure to large amounts of zinc can be harmful. It can cause
stomach cramps, anemia, and changes in cholesterol levels. Zinc has been
found in at least 985 of the 1,662 National Priority List sites identified by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is zinc?
Zinc is one of the most common elements in the earth's
crust. It is found in air, soil, and water, and is present in all
foods. Pure zinc is a bluish-white shiny metal.
Zinc has many commercial uses as coatings to prevent rust,
in dry cell batteries, and mixed with other metals to make
alloys like brass, and bronze. A zinc and copper alloy is
used to make pennies in the United States.
Zinc combines with other elements to form zinc compounds.
Common zinc compounds found at hazardous waste sites
include zinc chloride, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc
sulfide. Zinc compounds are widely used in industry to
make paint, rubber, dyes, wood preservatives, and ointments.
What happens to zinc when it enters the
environment?
Q Some is released into the environment by natural
processes, but most comes from human activities like mining,
steel production, coal burning, and burning of waste.
Q It attaches to soil, sediments, and dust particles in the
air.
Q Rain and snow remove zinc dust particles from the air.
Q Depending on the type of soil, some zinc compounds can
move into the groundwater and into lakes, streams, and
rivers.
Q Most of the zinc in soil stays bound to soil particles and
does not dissolve in water.
Q It builds up in fish and other organisms, but it does not
build up in plants.
How might I be exposed to zinc?
Q Ingesting small amounts present in your food and water.
Q Drinking contaminated water or a beverage that has been
stored in metal containers or flows through pipes that have
been coated with zinc to resist rust.
Q Eating too many dietary supplements that contain zinc.
Q Working on any of the following jobs: construction,
painting, automobile mechanics, mining, smelting, and
welding; manufacture of brass, bronze, or other zinc-
containing alloys; manufacture of galvanized metals; and
manufacture of machine parts, rubber, paint, linoleum,
oilcloths, batteries, some kind of glass, ceramics, and dyes.
How can zinc affect my health?
Zinc is an essential element in our diet. Too little zinc can
cause problems, but too much zinc is also harmful.
Harmful effects generally begin at levels 10-15 times higher
than the amount needed for good health. Large doses taken
by mouth even for a short time can cause stomach cramps,
nausea, and vomiting. Taken longer, it can cause anemia and
decrease the levels of your good cholesterol. We do not
know if high levels of zinc affect reproduction in humans.
Rats that were fed large amounts of zinc became infertile.

Inhaling large amounts of zinc (as dusts or fumes) can cause
a specific short-term disease called metal fume fever. We do
not know the long-term effects of breathing high levels of
zinc.
Putting low levels of zinc acetate and zinc chloride on the
skin of rabbits, guinea pigs, and mice caused skin irritation.
Skin irritation will probably occur in people.
How likely is zinc to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
have not classified zinc for carcinogenicity. Based on
incomplete information from human and animal studies, the
EPA has determined that zinc is not classifiable as to its
human carcinogenicity.
How can zinc affect children?
Zinc is essential for proper growth and development of
young children. It is likely that children exposed to very
high levels of zinc will have similar effects as adults. We do
not know whether children are more susceptible to the
effects of excessive intake of zinc than the adults.
We do not know if excess zinc can cause developmental
effects in humans. Animal studies have found decreased
weight in the offspring of animals that ingested very high
amounts of zinc.
How can families reduce the risks of exposure to
zinc?
Q Children living near waste sites that contain zinc may be
exposed to higher levels of zinc through breathing
contaminated air, drinking contaminated drinking water,
touching or eating contaminated soil.
Q Discourage your children from eating soil or putting their
hands in their mouths and teach them to wash their hands
frequently and before eating.
Q If you use medicines or vitamin supplements containing
zinc, make sure you use them appropriately and keep them
out of the reach of children.
Is there a medical test to determine whether I've
been exposed to zinc?
There are tests available to measure zinc in your blood,
urine, hair, saliva, and feces. These tests are not usually
done in the doctor's office because they require special
equipment. High levels of zinc in the feces can mean high
recent zinc exposure. High levels of zinc in the blood can
mean high zinc consumption and/or high exposure. Tests to
measure zinc in hair may provide information on long-term
zinc exposure; however, the relationship between levels in
your hair and the amount of zinc you were exposed to is not
clear.
Has the federal government made
recommendations to protect human health?
The EPA recommends that drinking water should contain no
more than 5 milligrams per liter of water (5 mg/L) because of
taste. The EPA requires that any release of 1,000 pounds (or
in some cases 5,000 pounds) into the environment be
reported to the agency.
To protect workers, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has set an average limit of 1 mg/m3
for zinc chloride fumes and 5 mg/m3 for zinc oxide (dusts and
fumes) in workplace air during an 8-hour workday, 40-hour
workweek.
Similarly, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) has set the same standards for up to a
10-hour workday over a 40-hour workweek.
