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 offsite impoundment for reuse by the City of Nogales.
