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

Petroleum contamination (DRO) and perchloroethylene (PCE) detected in soil and groundwater samples above SCL & GCL; however, nearby samples did not show detectable contamination. Consultant suggested extent of contamination is sufficiently characterized, but recommended inclusion of site into Contaminated Sites Database if the site is ever disturbed and investigative or remedial actions were required. Contamination was identified during DEC's Weeks Field Airstrip Study in 2007 (see File Number 102.57.004).
