Site Description The 25-acre Necco Park landfill is an inactive hazardous and industrial waste landfill located approximately 1.5 miles north of the Niagara River along the City of Niagara Falls and the Town of Niagara line. The landfill, located off of Niagara Falls Blvd near 56th Street, was originally used as a recreational park by the Niagara Electrochemical Company, from which "Necco” is derived. The property was sold to DuPont in 1930. Necco Park is located in a heavily industrialized section of Niagara Falls and is bounded on three sides by commercial waste disposal facilities. Immediately adjacent to the north and east lies the Allied Waste Niagara Falls landfill. Immediately adjacent to the south are three inactive secure hazardous waste landfill cells and a wastewater treatment facility owned by CECOS International, Inc. An access road and a Conrail (Niagara Junction Railway Company) right-of-way bound the landfill to the west. The nearest residential neighborhoods are located approximately 2,000 feet to the south and 2,500 feet to the west, respectively. Wastes from the Necco Park landfill have migrated in the overburden and bedrock underneath the landfill and now extend underneath the CECOS facility and a portion of the BFI facility.
The site was closed in 1977, and a clay cap was installed. Hydrogeological investigations conducted by DuPont have revealed significant contamination of the groundwater adjacent to the site with volatile chlorinated organics as well as inorganics. Following a trial pump test in early 1982, DuPont commenced a continuous program of pumping groundwater from 2 wells adjacent to the disposal site to establish a hydraulic barrier to contaminant migration. The pumped groundwater was treated at CECOS International.
EPA issued an administrative order to DuPont in May of 1985 for further off-site investigation of the site. A second administrative order was issued in 1989 for further RI/FS work.

4/22/2010 Site Code: 932047 Site Name: Necco Park As a source control measure, DuPont installed a grout curtain along the north side and portions of the east and west sides of the site. A third groundwater recovery well became operational in 1992 and contributed to increasing the hydraulic control over the site.
The USEPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) and a Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) in September 1998 calling for an enhanced landfill cap and hydraulic containment. The design of a landfill cap modification and hydraulic containment system was completed in 2004. Construction of the hydraulic containment system along with an interim groundwater treatment system began in August 2004 and was completed in April 2005. Treated groundwater is discharged under permit to the City of Niagara Falls Waste Water Treatment Plant. Construction of the landfill cap enhancement was completed in November 2005. A Remedial Action report was approved in September 2007 including the Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring plan. In 2008 in response to groundwater monitoring data, a Blast Fractured Bedrock trench was installed along a portion of the south property line at RW-11 to enhance the hydraulic control of the upper B Zone and overburden A Zone groundwater. Continuous pumping of RW-11 began on November 12, 2008. Remedial activity is complete, continued Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring is underway. Periodic reports demonstrating the effectiveness of the remedy are submitted. Last annual report was submitted on June 22, 2009.

Site Environmental Assessment Available data indicates that during the operational history of the site approximately 186 million pounds or about 93,000 tons of liquid and solid industrial waste were disposed at the site. These wastes contained inorganic constituents (barium, calcium and sodium chloride) and organic compounds such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroethane,, methylene chloride, PCE and TCE. These wastes were disposed of and are present in the overburden and groundwater at the site. Most groundwater contamination at the site is the result of dissolution of disposed chlorinated organic liquids. DNAPL has been observed and recovered from wells in and near the site.
The design of a landfill cap modification and hydraulic containment system based on the 1998 ROD was completed in 2004. Construction of the hydraulic containment system along with an interim groundwater treatment system began in August 2004 and was completed in April 2005. Treated groundwater is discharged under permit to the City of Niagara Falls Waste Water Treatment Plant. Construction of the landfill cap enhancement was completed in November 2005. A Remedial Action report was approved in September 2007 and the Operation Maintenance and Monitoring plan is in effect.
Periodic reports demonstrating the effectiveness of the remedy are submitted. The last annual report was submitted on June 22, 2009. Thru the 2008 Annual report approximately 8,335 gallons of DNAPL has been removed since 1989. No estimate is available for contaminant removal through the groundwater
Site Health Assessment
No one is expected to come in contact with contamination from the site because the site is capped and fenced and public water serves the area.

Remedy Description for Operable Unit 01A 2.00 To enhance the groundwater pumping system's effectiveness, a grout curtain, termed Subsurface Formation Repair (SFR), was completed in September 1989. The SFR extends along the entire western and northern property lines and approximately one-half of the eastern line. The southern portion and the south half of the eastern line were left ungrouted due to the presence of DNAPL and to allow for the recovery of contamination that had migrated beyond the Necco park property boundary.
Total Cost 2.00
Remedy Description for Operable Unit 02 3.00 Construction of the landfill cap enhancement was completed in November 2005. A Remedial Action report was approved in September 2007 including the OM&M plan.
Remedial activity is complete, continued OM&M underway. Periodic reports demonstrating the effectiveness of the remedy are submitted. Last annual report submitted June 22, 2009
Total Cost 3.00
OU 00 Site Management Plan Approval: 09/19/2007 Status: ACT
Basis for Classification Change
The USEPA issued a ROD in March 1998 requiring DuPont to upgrade the existing cap, pumping and treating of contaminated groundwater as a source control measure and collection and disposal of DNAPL. Construction of the remedy was completed in 2005 and final approval of the remedial action was granted by EPA in 2007. OM&M plan is in effect with the last annual report submitted in June 2009. The latest quarterly report was received in April 2010 and continues to indicate that the system is operating satisfactorily and the conditions of the ROD are being met.

: Re: Site Re-Classification Package Necco Park Site #932047 Niagara Falls (C), Niagara County
Dear Mr. Knizek:
Staff reviewed the site re-classification package for the Necco Park site, located off Niagara Falls Boulevard straddling the City of Niagara Falls and Town of Niagara, Niagara County that proposes reclassifying the site from a Class 2 to a Class 4. Based on that review, I understand that the site is a 25 acre landfill used from 1930 until 1977 by DuPont to dispose of industrial and hazardous waste. Investigations by DuPont in the 1980's revealed widespread groundwater contamination around the site, and several groundwater extraction wells were installed to control further contaminant migration. In 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a Record of Decision calling for an enhanced landfill cap and hydraulic containment. The remedy was implemented between 2004 and 2005, and a bedrock blast fracture trench was added in 2008 to enhance groundwater recovery. Remedial activity is complete and continued operation, maintenance and monitoring in underway. Based on this information, I concur with the proposal to reclassify the site as a Class 4. The signed decision form is enclosed.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Fedigan at (518) 402-7860.

Steven M. Bates, Assistant Director Bureau of Environmental Exposure Investigation

This report describes hydraulic and chemistry monitoring conducted in 2008 as required by the Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Plan, dated April 2005 for the DuPont Necco Park Site located in Niagara Falls, New York.
Construction and start-up of the HCS and GWTF was substantially complete on April 5, 2005. Thereafter, the systems have been operated in accordance with the Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan). System operation uptime for 2008 was 84.0 %. Most of the downtime occurred in August and September and is attributed primarily to hydraulic testing of newly installed recovery well RW-11. Improved hydraulic control in the upper bedrock in the western portion of the site began in 4Q08 when new B/C-Zone pumping well RW-11 was put into operation. Well RW-11 was installed to replace recovery well RW-10 that exhibited diminished hydraulic efficiency soon after startup in 2005.
Approximately 512 gallons of DNAPL was recovered in 2008. This Annual Report provides a detailed evaluation of system operation with respect to the Performance Standards presented in the Necco Park Statement of Work (SOW).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This fourth Annual Report for the Necco Park Remedial Action has been prepared pursuant to Administrative Order (AO) Index No. II Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) (CERCLA)-98-0215 dated September 28, 1998, and issued by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This report describes hydraulic and chemistry monitoring conducted in 2008 as required by the Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Plan, dated April 2005 for the DuPont Necco Park Site located in Niagara Falls, New York. The Necco Park Remedial Action consists of an upgraded cap over the landfill and a groundwater hydraulic control system (HCS). The HCS includes a network of five groundwater pumping wells and a groundwater treatment facility (GWTF). Construction and startup of the HCS and GWTF was substantially complete on April 5, 2005. Thereafter, the systems have been operated in accordance with the Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan). System operation uptime for 2008 was 84%. Discounting scheduled maintenance shutdowns, system uptime for 2008 was 85.4%. Summaries of system operations and hydraulic head data have been provided to the USEPA and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) previously in the 2008 Quarterly Data Packages. This Annual Report provides a detailed evaluation of system effectiveness with respect to the Performance Standards presented in the Necco Park Statement of Work (SOW). Hydraulic monitoring data from 2008 show that overall the HCS has maintained hydraulic control of the source area. Improved hydraulic control in the upper bedrock in the western portion of the site began in 4Q08 when new B/C-Zone pumping well RW-11 was put into operation. Well RW-11 was installed to replace recovery well RW-10 which had exhibited diminished hydraulic efficiency soon after startup in 2005. Well RW-11 includes a 170 ft section of blast fractured bedrock trench (BFBT) in the B-Zone and a bedrock open hole in the C-Zone. In accordance with the Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Plan (LGMP), annual groundwater sampling began in 2008 after three years of biannual sampling. Groundwater sampling results from 2008 continue to show an overall decrease in concentrations of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) for all flow zones compared to historical results. The 2008 results indicate: With the exception of two source area limit wells, TVOC concentrations for the A-Zone were below 10 μg/l TVOC concentrations at key source area limit wells, such as 150B and 172B, continue to decline Similar decreasing or stable TVOC concentrations are apparent in the deeper bedrock zones and at key source area limit wells such as 146E The 2008 results were compared to the zone-specific source area limits provided in the 100% design submittal for overburden and bedrock hydraulic controls. Compared to the first year of long term monitoring in 2005, the 2008 results for the respective
2008 Annual Report.doc v Wilmington, DE Remedial Action Post-Construction Monitoring Executive Summary
groundwater flow zones indicate a general reduction in the number of wells where solubility criteria (1% of pure-phase and effective) are met. Groundwater chemistry results compiled since the HCS has been operational indicate declining TVOC trends at many of the monitoring locations and support modifications to chemical monitoring program starting in 2010. Hydraulic monitoring completed in 4Q08 indicates operation of new recovery well RW- 11 has greatly enhanced the hydraulic control of the A-Zone and C-Zone in the west portion of the site. Results from continued monitoring are expected to show enhanced control of the B-Zone. Continued efforts will be made in 2009 to improve the hydraulic efficiency of recovery well RW-5 including evaluations to improve the long-term groundwater recovery at this location. Results of the 2008 monitored natural attenuation (MNA) evaluation are consistent with the long term monitoring and previous findings indicating natural attenuation of site constituents is occurring under anaerobic degradation processes. Concentrations of site constituents have decreased in the majority of downgradient wells monitoring the B- through F-Zones. The presence of biochemical reaction products and microbial populations capable of degrading site constituents confirms MNA is providing beneficial groundwater remediation. Sampling for natural attenuation parameters (groundwater geochemistry and COC’s) will be continued at the frequency described in the LGMP with the last year of assessment in 2009. Results of the MNA evaluation support discontinuing monitoring of some downgradient and sidegradient wells where contamination is not present or just marginally above detection limits. Approximately 512 gallons of dense nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) was recovered in 2008. All of the DNAPL was recovered from B/C-Zone Recovery Well RW-5. Routine monitoring completed in 2008 show that DNAPL was only observed at well RW-5. A total of 8,335 gallons of DNAPL has been removed since initiation of the recovery program in 1989.

Site Description
The 25-acre Necco Park landfill is an inactive hazardous and industrial waste landfill located approximately 1.5 miles north of the Niagara River along the City of Niagara Falls and the Town of Niagara line. The landfill, located off of Niagara Falls Blvd near 56th Street, was originally used as a recreational park by the Niagara Electrochemical Company, from which 'Necco' is derived. The property was sold to DuPont in 1930. Necco Park is located in a heavily industrialized section of Niagara Falls and is bounded on three sides by commercial waste disposal facilities. Immediately adjacent to the north and east lies the Allied Waste Niagara Falls landfill. Immediately adjacent to the south are three inactive secure hazardous waste landfill cells and a wastewater treatment facility owned by CECOS International, Inc. An access road and a Conrail (Niagara Junction Railway Company) right-of-way bound the landfill to the west. The nearest residential neighborhoods are located approximately 2,000 feet to the south and 2,500 feet to the west, respectively. Wastes from the Necco Park landfill have migrated in the overburden and bedrock underneath the landfill and now extend underneath the CECOS facility and a portion of the BFI facility.
The site was closed in 1977, and a clay cap was installed. Hydrogeological investigations conducted by DuPont have revealed significant contamination of the groundwater adjacent to the site with volatile chlorinated organics as well as inorganics. Following a trial pump test in early 1982, DuPont commenced a continuous program of pumping groundwater from 2 wells adjacent to the disposal site to establish a hydraulic barrier to contaminant migration. The pumped groundwater was treated at CECOS International.
EPA issued an administrative order to DuPont in May of 1985 for further off-site investigation of the site. A second administrative order was issued in 1989 for further RI/FS work.
As a source control measure, DuPont installed a grout curtain along the north side and portions of the east and west sides of the site. A third groundwater recovery well became operational in 1992 and contributed to increasing the hydraulic control over the site.
The USEPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) and a Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) in September 1998 calling for an enhanced landfill cap and hydraulic containment. The design of a landfill cap modification and hydraulic containment system was completed in 2004. Construction of the hydraulic containment system along with an interim groundwater treatment system began in August 2004 and were completed in April 2005. Treated groundwater is discharged under permit to the City of Niagara Falls Waste Water Treatment Plant. Construction of the landfill cap enhancement was completed in November 2005. A Remedial Action report was approved in September 2007 including the Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring plan. In 2008 in response to groundwater monitoring data, a Blast Fractured Bedrock trench was installed along a portion of the south property line at RW-11 to enhance the hydraulic control of the upper B Zone and overburden A zone groundwater. Continous pumping of RW-11 began on November 12, 2008. Remedial activity is complete, continued Operation, Maintenqnce and Monitoring is underway. Periodic reports demonstrating the effectiveness of the remedy are submitted. Last annual report was submitted on June 22, 2009.

Analytical Data Available for : Groundwater, Soil Applicable Standards Exceeded for: Groundwater
Site Environmental Assessment Available data indicates that during the operational history of the site approximately 186 million pounds or about 93,000 tons of liquid and solid industrial waste were disposed at the site. These wastes contained inorganic constituents (barium, calcium and sodium chloride) and organic compounds such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, hexachlorobenzene, hexachlorobutadiene, hexachloroethane,, methylene chloride, PCE and TCE. These waste were disposed of and are present in the overburden and groundwater at the site. Most groundwater contamination at the site is the result of dissolution of disposed chlorinated organic liquids. DNAPL has been observed and recovered from wells in and near the site.
The design of a landfill cap modification and hydraulic containment system based on the 1998 ROD was completed in 2004. Construction of the hydraulic containment system along with an interim groundwater treatment system began in August 2004 and were completed in April 2005. Treated groundwater is discharged under permit to the City of Niagara Falls Waste Water Treatment Plant. Construction of the landfill cap enhancement was completed in November 2005. A Remedial Action report was approved in September 2007 and the Operation Maintenance and Monitoring plan is in effect.
Periodic reports demonstrating the effectiveness of the remedy are submitted. The last annual report was submitted on June 22, 2009. Thru the 2008 Annual report approximately 8,335 gallons of DNAPL has been removed since 1989. No estimate is available for contaminant removal through the groundwater

Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Classification Notice
The Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Program (the State Superfund Program) is the State's program for identifying, investigating, and cleaning up sites where the disposal of hazardous waste may present a threat to public health and/or the environment. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (Department) maintains a list of these sites in the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites (the “Registry”). The site identified above was recently reclassified on the Registry as a site that no longer presents a significant threat to public health and/or the environment (Class 4). See map on other side for the location of the site.
The Site is a 25-acre landfill used from 1930 until 1977 by DuPont to dispose of industrial and hazardous waste. Investigations by DuPont in the 1980s revealed widespread groundwater contamination around the site, and several groundwater extraction wells were installed to control further contaminant migration. In 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a Record of Decision calling for an enhanced landfill cap and hydraulic containment. The remedy was implemented between 2004 and 2005, and a bedrock blast fracture trench was added in 2008 to enhance groundwater recovery. Remedial activity is complete and continued operation, maintenance and monitoring is underway.
