Health Assessment for North Sea Landfill, Suffolk County, North Sea, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD980762520

摘要

The North Sea Landfill, located in Southhampton, Suffolk County, New York, is an active municipal landfill approximately 110 acres in size. A leachate plume including chlorinated solvents and heavy metals emanates from the landfill and is traveling in a northwesterly direction to a brackish inland cove (Fish Cove) approximately one-half mile distant. In the past, groundwater on-site was found to be contaminated with 17 micro g/1 (ppb) of vinyl chloride. Chlorinated organic chemicals including vinyl chloride have been detected both on- and off-site at lower concentrations. Toluene and lead have been detected in groundwater on and off-site at concentrations from 1 to 6 micro g/L and 27 to 740 micro g/L, respectively. The potential public health concerns of primary importance are exposure to hazardous materials on-site for employees and exposures through contaminated groundwater for the off-site population.
