Box 2001 Oak Ridge, TN 37831-8723 Dear Mr. Seay: Attached please find the review, prepared by our contractor the NUS Corporation, of the reports submitted by DOE in fulfillment of a Site Inspection for the Colonie Interim Storage Site (CISS), Albany, NY for the purposes of evaluating this site for possible listing on EPA's National Priorities List (NPL) of Superfund sites under Section 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). EPA is assigning this facility a No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) status meaning that, based on current information, the site does not qualify for inclusion on the NPL However we are recommending that your agency conduct some additional sampling. Of concern is the nearest groundwater well to the CISS, which is approximately 2.5 miles northwest of the facility and serves the residents of a small trailer park. We recommend that you sample this well for full Target Compound List (TCL) organics and inorganics and radionuclides and determine if this well is impacted by contaminant migration from the CISS. Because of the limited target area, we do not expect this data to alter the evaluation of this site for the NPL. Nevertheless, this data should be provided to the New York State Departments of Health and Conservation and the Albany County Health Department for possible other regulatory action. Also, as lead agency under the National Contingency Plan (NCP) for sites within its jurisdiction, custody or control, DOE should take action if appropriate. RINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 085886 -2- If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call me at (212) 264-8670 or Helen Shannon at (212) 264-6664. Thank you for your cooperation.

Provide the name of document(s) used for the SSI and the organization responsible for its preparation: HRS Score Sheet-Colonie Interim Storage Site, U.S. Department of Energy, September 10,1987. 2. Rating or Priority given: HRS Sm = 9.44 Check one • Agree (go to line 7) E Disagree (go to line 3) • No priority given (go to line 4) 3. If disagree, why? The report addressed radioactive contamination of the site and residential properties in the vicinity of the site. The radioactivity is due to uranium that was used and is currently stored on site. Depleted uranium was used for most plant operations, although small quantities of. natural and enriched uranium were used for selected manufacturing processes Pathways which were considered in the report are groundwater and surface water exposure. Air sampling was performed at selected locations on site, however, exposure via air contamination was not ^considered in the HRS scoring. The air pathway exposure route was not considered because concentrations of airborne particulates were considered too low in the absence of stack emissions. Environmental exposures to increased radiation levels attributed to the site were considered insignificant upon comparison with background levels. However, the soil of residential properties was determined to be contaminated with uranium that was released into the air by the plant. The soils have since been cleaned up, using the Department of Energy (DOE) guideline of 35 pCi/g for uranium concentration, averaged over any 100 square meter area. The analyses were reported as concentrations of uranium - 238. Contamination due to other hazardous chemicals was not considered in the assessment of the site. Chemicals which were used on site, and currently stored at the Colonie Interim Storage Site (CISS) include: cyanides, lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickel, nitric acid, other acids, bases, and mixed waste, i.e., hazardous waste that is also radioactive. Exposure pathways that need to be considered include groundwater, surface water, soil, and air. Bechtel National, Inc. (BNI) has a closure plan in place for the storage, treatment, and disposal of the hazardous chemicals of concern. However, the contamination that resulted from the handling/storage/disposal of these chemicals during the lifetime of the facility operations needsTo^be addressed; National Lead Industries (NLI) operated the site from the 1950s until 1984. The site is currently not in operation; it is now owned by the Department of Energy. 02-9005-15-SI Rev.

Dyes |x]no (go to line 8) FIT Recommendation: Comments (if any): The CISS is located at 1130 Central Avenue in the Town of Colonie, New York. It is approximately 4 miles northwest of downtown Albany and about 3 miles southeast of the Village of Colonie. The CISS covers 11.2 acres. The site consists of the former National Lead (NL) Industries, Inc. property and buildings where a variety of products using uranium were manufactured. Several vicinity properties are radioactively contaminated as a result of airborne releases of uranium compounds produced during operations at the plant. Depleted uranium was used for most plant operations. Although small quantities of natural and enriched uranium were also used in selected manufacturing processes. Land use in the vicinity of the CISS is primarily industrial and residential. The site and adjacent area are currently zoned as industrial by the Town of Colonie; the site and the Yardboro Avenue area are zoned for light industry by Albany County. Many small businesses are located on Central Avenue; the area across Central Avenue from the CISS is primarily residential. To the northwest and west, the site is bordered by open land and an electrical substation owned by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation. The southeastern and eastern boundaries adjoin various commercial properties. To the southwest and south, the facility is bordered by the Penn Central Railroad right-of-way (Ref. No. 6). 02-9005-15-SI Rev. No. 0 The NL Industries plant began producing uranium products in 1958 under a license issued by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a predecessor of the DOE. After the contract was terminated in 1968, plant production was limited to fabrication of shielding components, counterweights, and projectiles from depleted uranium. On February 15, 1980, the New York State Supreme Court issued a temporary order restraining NL Industries from operating, on the basis that the facility emitted uranium compounds in airborne releases. The temporary restraining order was amended on May 12, 1980, to allow NL industries to continue limited operation. The amended order also required the company to initiate an independent investigation to assess all adverse environmental effects to surrounding properties that could have resulted from airborne discharges of radioactive materials from the plant. In 1980, Teledyne Isotopes was contracted by NL Industries to survey the radioactivity in the vicinity of the facility (Ref. No. 6). In 1984, Congress assigned the Colonie Interim Storage Site to the DOE as part-of a decontamination research and development project under the 1984 Energy and Water Appropriations Act. DOE then included the site in the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). FUSRAP is a remedial action program directed by the DOE to identify, clean up, or otherwise control sites where residual radioactive materials remain from the early years of the nation's atomic energy program or from commercial operations (Ref. No. 6). Since 1984, the CISS has been used for interim storage of waste materials contaminated with low-level radioactivity that were removed from vicinity properties under the auspices of FUSRAP. The excavated contaminated materials are stored temporarily in the former NL building until a permanent remedial action alternative is selected. Three properties that are adjacent to the CISS property will be cleaned up when the site is remediated (Ref. No. 6). The CISS is located within the Patroons Creek drainage basin, about 1.6 miles east of Rensselaer Lake. Patroons Creek lies approximately 0.25 miles south of the site.

    Distribution of Ddt, Chlordane, and Total Pcb's in Bed Sediments in the Hudson River Basin

    NYES&E, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 1997 DISTRIBUTION OF DDT, CHLORDANE, AND TOTAL PCB'S IN BED SEDIMENTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER BASIN Patrick J. Phillips1, Karen Riva-Murray1, Hannah M. Hollister2, and Elizabeth A. Flanary1. 1U.S. Geological Survey, 425 Jordan Road, Troy NY 12180. 2Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Troy NY 12180. Abstract Data from streambed-sediment samples collected from 45 sites in the Hudson River Basin and analyzed for organochlorine compounds indicate that residues of DDT, chlordane, and PCB's can be detected even though use of these compounds has been banned for 10 or more years. Previous studies indicate that DDT and chlordane were widely used in a variety of land use settings in the basin, whereas PCB's were introduced into Hudson and Mohawk Rivers mostly as point discharges at a few locations. Detection limits for DDT and chlordane residues in this study were generally 1 µg/kg, and that for total PCB's was 50 µg/kg. Some form of DDT was detected in more than 60 percent of the samples, and some form of chlordane was found in about 30 percent; PCB's were found in about 33 percent of the samples. Median concentrations for p,p’- DDE (the DDT residue with the highest concentration) were highest in samples from sites representing urban areas (median concentration 5.3 µg/kg) and lower in samples from sites in large watersheds (1.25 µg/kg) and at sites in nonurban watersheds. (Urban watershed were defined as those with a population density of more than 60/km2; nonurban watersheds as those with a population density of less than 60/km2, and large watersheds as those encompassing more than 1,300 km2.

    Town of Bethlehem Open Space Plan: Conservation Criteria Implementation

    Town of Bethlehem Open Space Plan: Conservation Criteria Implementation December 2017 FINAL Prepared by: Bethlehem Department of Economic Development and Planning, and M.J. Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C., with support from the Conservation Easement Review Board 1 Executive Summary Open space conservation planning has been a topic of discussion in Bethlehem for over a decade, and has been a focus of numerous committees, meetings, focus groups and written reports. A consistent recommendation found in these efforts, from the 2005 Comprehensive Plan to the 2014 Open Space Program Resolution, has been the development of conservation criteria to evaluate conservation opportunities when they arise. As a result, in February 2017 the town hired M.J. Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C. (MJ) to assist the town planning department in the development of conservation criteria and ultimately, this open space plan. This open space plan document describes how the town first developed four open space conservation values maps; then a list of 25 conservation criteria; and finally, a GIS-based conservation analysis tool to inform ongoing current and future open space conservation tools in town. With the assistance of the Conservation Easement Review Board the following was prepared: 1. An updated, town-wide open space inventory and database, as illustrated in four Open Space Conservation Values Maps: a. Community Character b. Recreation and Greenways c. Forests, Fields and Wildlife Ecosystems d. Natural Water systems: Streams, Wetlands and the Hudson River 2. A list of data-driven Conservation Criteria (25) with which to evaluate open space land for its conservation values. 3.
