Hazardous Waste Sites in Minnesota
The Site Assessment and Consultation Unit conducts several
types of evaluations in cooperation with the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry. A Public
Health Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of all available information
about a site and various ways in which people might be exposed to contamination.
A Health Consultation is
a more limited evaluation of one particular way in which people might be
exposed. A Site Review and Update is periodically done as other agencies
re-evaluate a site to see if the remedial actions taken are still protective
of public health. For many of our site documents, there are information
sheets that summarize site history, contaminants, exposure pathways and
recommendations for protecting public health. These are titled by the generic
name, "Environmental Health Information," site name and date of publication.
Please note that these documents were accurate at the time they were written.
They are included here as historical background and references. There may have
been changes, remedial activities or other developments in the intervening
time. For current information, please contact the SAC
unit at (651) 201-4897 (or toll-free (800) 657-3908, press "4" and leave
a message).
