March
2000 - Cenex Supply and Marketing, Inc. (CSMI) in Quincy, Grant
County, Washington, operated a liquid fertilizer and soil fumigant
storage and distribution facility. Seious contamination resulted
from the landspreading of pesticide sediment sludges on agricultural
land. Among the many pesticides found in soil samples, three
herbicides (trifluralin,
vernolate, and ethalfluralin),
one insecticide (chlorpyrifos), one pesticide (disulfoton),
and three metals (chromium, beryllium, and cadmium) exceeded
one or more health-based comparison values in CSMI soil.
Profluralin
was also found in soil samples. The population of Quincy is
3,715. This report characterizes the community's concerns about
excess cancer and disease rates, very rare abnormalities such
as Rubinstein-Taybi
Syndrome, and ill health as not "unusual"
- a typical ATSDR-explantion handed out to very sick communities
-- organofluorine pesticides highlighted
in red. |

The
EPA has proposed to revoke the tolerances (Tolban) for residues
of profluralin in or on ALFALFA; COTTONSEED; EGGS; MILK,
MEAT, FAT, and MEAT BY-PRODUCTS of CATTLE, GOATS, HOGS, HORSES,
POULTRY, and SHEEP; SAFFLOWER (seed); SEED and POD VEGETABLES
(dry, succulent, fodder and forage); SOYBEAN (hay); and SUNFLOWER
(seed). This herbicide was cancelled by the USEPA in April
of 1984. Note: The Fed. Reg. does not have online access to
1992 documents. This EPA notice is from the PMEP at Cornell
