Problems/Comments
The City of Elim submitted a DEC Brownfield Assessment Request Form for 2010 for the Old City Shop in Elim. The site was swampy area and it was a dump site before it became a shop area for heavy equipment in the late 1970's. The site has been used for storing heating oil, batteries, and waste oil. There is a potential for contamination from all of these potential sources. The community would like to clean up this site and construct new housing and a barge landing. FKA 600.57.002

| 12/1/2010 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | DEC received the Property Assessment and Cleanup Plan for the Old City Shop in Elim. According to the report, the Elim Old City Shop is at the same location as the community's old landfill. Since burial of the landfill in the early 1980's, the site has become the location of the city's equipment shop, fire station, and storage and disposal area for broken equipment, vehicles, used oil, lead-acid batteries, and construction debris. The consultant identified the potential exposure routes at the site include ingestion, direct contact, and inhalation. The Old City Shop site is located slightly downgradient of the community drinking water source on Elim Creek; however, salt-water intrusion and backwash sometimes occur at high tide and surface water runoff may enter the municipal drinking water. Overall, environmental actions at the Old City Shop site should include removal of solid and hazardous waste, development of a comprehensive plan to manage storage and disposal of future waste and a site characterization to determine the extent of contamination in groundwater, surface water, and soil. | Deborah Williams |
