| SAN Trimer |
At this point it would appear that the site is best being left alone at this point as it is subject to monitoring activities sponsored by Union Carbide Corporation and the EPA, and studies are still ongoing about the contamination that occurred there and possible links to cancer clusters that sprouted up in the area. There are no records to indicate that the site has been officially deleted from the National Priorities List despite their being no further cleanup activities taking place at the site. The EPA issued the last five year review in 2008 and did not recommend any further cleanup procedures, but established continued sampling requirements for the site due to concerns over a new breed of semi-volatiles known as “SAN Trimer” that had developed due to reactions within the treatment wells (EPA 2008). The EPA continues to perform studies that are testing the relative toxicity of SAN Trimer and attempting to determine its potential as a carcinogen (EPA 2008).
