Public Health Assessment for Jackson Steel Products, Inc., Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, March 15, 2005. EPA Facility ID: NYD001344456

摘要

The Jackson Steel site is on First Street, off Herricks Road in a light industrial area of the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, New York.Jackson Steel Products, Inc. manufactured custom rolled steel products and shaped metal from 1978 through 1991. The company used chlorinated solvents as degreasers, and oils as lubricants and cutting fluids. An environmental consulting firm investigated the Jackson Steel site between 1991 and 1994 and found subsurface soil and groundwater contamination on-site. Subsurface soil and groundwater were contaminatedwith chlorinated solvents, primarily tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and petroleum constituents. The US. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (US EPA) investigated on-site soils and on-site and off-site groundwater during the summer of 2002, but off-site groundwatersampling was very limited. The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) and the Nassau County Department of Health (NC DOH), however, have data characterizing area groundwater. The NC DOH maintains records of monitoring data for public water supply wells, including raw water (water before it is treated) data.
