Abstract	The Del Monte Oahu Plantation (now owned by Del Monte Fresh Produce (Hawaii) Inc.) occupies 6,000 acres in Honolulu County, Hawaii. In 1979 and 1980, this well was sampled by the Hawaii Department of Health because 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) was dicovered in California drinking water wells near fumigated farmland. The analytical results of the samples taken from the Kunia well indicated that the well water was contaminated with ethylene dibromide (EDB) and DBCP. Because the Kunia well was demonstrated to be contaminated with EDB and DBCP, Del Monte Corporation disconnected the Kunia well from the Kunia drinking water distribution system on April 25, 1980. Based on the available information, ATSDR concludes that the people of Kunia were not exposed to significant levels of EDB and DBCP in their drinking water.
