Affected Media:

• Soil
• Groundwater

What are My Health Risks: 

• For Soil | There is little to no health risk unless there is contact with skin or ingestion of contaminated soil.
• For Groundwater | If you are connected to a public water system (PWS) there is little to no risk of impact from exceedances because the water is filtered through the PWS for residential and business use. | View Drinking Water Notices > 

If you have a private well in the vicinity of the exceedance, we encourage you to test the well water.

Site Summary:  

The site is contaminated with VOCs due to storage operations conducted from 1966 through 1985. Conn-Selmer, Inc. (CSI) (formerly United Musical Instruments, Inc.) operates a pump and treat system to remove VOCs from the groundwater.  The treated groundwater is then sent to an off-site impoundment for reuse by the City of Nogales.
