However, there appears to be little likelihood that game animals are exposed to or ingest appreciable amounts of soil contaminants. Also, surface water and sediment contamination in the wildlife areas is at such low levels, in the few cases where contaminants have been detected, that significant exposure and uptake in fish is unlikely. For these reasons, consumption of game and fish collected from the wildlife areas is not a public health problem. Isolated springs within the conservation areas are contaminated with low levels of nitroaromatic contamination. The potential for frequent and regular consumption is low, therefore it is unlikely that the public could be exposed to contaminants at levels of concern.
Localized areas have soil contamination, predominantly nitroaromatics and lead.
Access by the public to these areas is restricted by fencing. Offsite Persons were exposed to small amounts of nitroaromatics in drinking water at the Twin Island Lakes Campground in the past. For the time period prior to 1988, levels of contamination and length of time of exposure were not documented, and it is not possible to estimate whether adverse health effects due to exposure were possible. However, in analyses from 1988 to the present, levels of contaminants found in this water were not high enough to be of health concern. The contaminated wells were taken out of service when the contaminants were detected.
