Health Assessment for Tronic Plating Co. Inc., Suffolk County, Farmingdale, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD002059517

摘要

Tronic Plating, an electroplating facility in operation from 1968 to 1984 was located in Farmingdale, Township of Babylon, Suffolk County, New York. During its operation the facility discharged industrial wastes into a sanitary pit and four below-ground leaching pools. Storm drains located approximately 33-40 feet from the northern rear door of the operation were also allegedly utilized for the disposal of potentially hazardous effluent. These activities are believed to have resulted in contamination of groundwater with heavy metals. At present the contamination of soil and groundwater with heavy metals or other compounds associated with the facility can only be assumed since these media on and around the site have yet to be tested. The Tronic Plating site represents a potential human health threat. The Remedial Investigation will fully evaluate both inorganic and organic contamination at the site, including extensive sampling for those compounds on EPA's Target Compound List for water and soil. Until such results are available, the extent of environmental contamination due to on-site subsurface discharge of hazardous effluents cannot be determined.
