The City of Livingston and the BNRY overlie an unconfined alluvial aquifercomposed of permeable, coarse, sandy gravel deposited by the Yellowstone River. This alluvial aquifer is hereafter referred to as the Livingston aquifer. The aquifer iselongated parallel to the Yellowstone River. Bedrock forms its southeastern andnorthwestern boundaries. The aquifer's average width is approximately 1 mile. Beneath most of the BNRY, the saturated thickness of the Livingston aquifer is 10to 25 feet. Saturated thickness can be as much as 60 feet beneath portions of theCity. Depth to the water table varies from approximately 25 feet on the southwestend of BNRY to 2 to 3 feet on the northeast near the Yellowstone River. Groundwater flows east-northeast beneath the western two-thirds of BNRY. Underneath the remaining eastern third of BNRY, groundwater flow can vary almost90 degrees seasonally, due to interaction between the Livingston aquifer and theYellowstone River. During late summer and early fall, ... [Read More]

ATSDR and the State of Montana have completed a health study of cancerincidence in the Livingston, Park County, Montana, area. This study revealed anincreased incidence of pancreatic cancers in Livingston that was not associatedwith residential proximity to a railroad facility. Incidence of other cancers appearsto be average. Gallstones are often associated with diet. Miscarriages occurconsiderably more often than is usually acknowledged. Nationally, ten to twentyper hundred pregnancies end in miscarriage. The contamination detected in on-siteand off-site media at BNRY would not be expected to cause miscarriages inLivingston. Unusually high incidence of lupus and multiple sclerosis (MS) in theLivingston community. ... [Read More]

PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS, Community Health Concerns Evaluation, third paragraph: I feel that the ATSDR has glossed over the longstanding concerns of the community that lupus, MS, and other disorders with an auto immune component have a higher incidence in Livingston. In spite of repeated requests, and several health studies conducted in Livingston looking at other disorders, this concern remains unanswered. Why? Just because there are no registries for these disorders, does that mean it is impossible to study them? The toxicologist's conclusion that if there were increased incidence of these disorders in Livingston, it could simply be attributed to a cluster of genetically-predisposed individuals is ludicrous. What is this conclusion based on? The report states on page 46: 'Data on specific incidence of lupus and MS in Livingston were not available for review.' That is because it has never been investigated. Can this issue be studied on ... [Read More]
