Health consultation : Buchanan Bulk Oil -- Ma & Pa Stores West 6th Avenue and South F Street, Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa (2006)

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has requested the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Hazardous Waste Site Health Assessment Program to evaluate the potential health impacts of the future development at the Buchanan Bulk Oil – Ma & Pa Stores site. A Targeted Brownfields Assessment was completed by the IDNR at this site to measure existing on-site contaminants. Assistance was sought from the IDPH to determine potential health risks if the site was developed for residential use. This health consultation addresses potential health risks to people from exposure to the contaminants found in the soil and groundwater within the property boundary. The information in this health consultation was current at the time of writing. Data that emerges later could alter this document’s conclusions and recommendations.
