Reasons for this Project. Historic mining and milling operations at the Site have resulted in the release of LA to the environment. Previous investigations have demonstrated that LA is present in soils, sediments, surface water, soil, duff2, and tree bark at the Site, with concentrations tending to be highest on the mine site and the forested areas immediately surrounding the mine (i.e., OU3). Although the exposure pathway of primary concern for humans is inhalation of LA, some studies in animals suggest that ingestion of asbestos fibers can result in the growth of benign intestinal polyps (National Toxicology Program [NTP] 1985). There are several potential scenarios where humans could be exposed to LA via ingestion. Two exposure scenarios are as follows: Ingestion of Game. One exposure scenario is the ingestion of edible tissue from hunted game that forage in OU3. Game, including deer and elk, have been observed within OU3 and may be exposed to LA in a variety of potential exposure media. It is possible that these animals may have accumulated LA in their tissues as a result of these exposures. However, at present, there are no data available on the potential concentrations of LA in edible game tissue at the Site. Thus, data are needed that can be used to determine if human exposures from ingestion of LA in game tissue have the potential to cause unacceptable health risks. Ingestion of Fish. Another exposure scenario is the ingestion of LA in edible fish tissue (fillets) from fish caught from local streams and ponds that contain LA. However, at present, there are no data available on the potential concentrations of LA in edible fish tissue at the Site. Thus, data are needed that can be used to determine if human exposures to LA from ingestion of edible fish tissue have the potential to cause unacceptable health risks. As noted above, the collection of fish is included as part of the OU3 Phase V Part B study (EPA 2012a); but the sample preparation (filleting) and analysis of these fish is being conducted under this SAP/QAPP. 2 Duff is comprised of un‐decomposed twigs, needles, and other vegetation and the layer of partially‐ to fully‐decomposed litter that occurs on top of the mineral soil in forested areas.
