We make every effort to ensure the data presented here is accurate based on the best available information currently on file with DEC. It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.
Problems/Comments
The major initial effort will be to discern the nature, movement, and source of the DRO found in St.Elias Auto private well sample. Efforts are being made to locate positions of the City wells, and any nearby private wells. Farnell was last staff assigned followed by Hung. Hung: note, there are 2 dbs for this site with 2 different reckeys and problems. Event Id 1232 & 1233 possibly created by Farnell?? 12/22/99 file mailed to Paul Horwath for followup. Private well at St.Elias Auto residence contaminated with DRO (410 ug/l). Source is unknown; the history of the site makes it seem unlikely that the site is a source for diesel contamination.
