1 INTRODUCTION This Data Collection Plan (DCP) provides the data collection process and procedures for the Historical Data Review for the Newtown Creek Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) as described in the RI/FS Work Plan (AECOM 2011). This work is being performed under an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) between the Respondents to this AOC and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in the USEPA Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) program. The RI/FS Study Area is defined in the AOC as Newtown Creek and its tributaries (Dutch Kills, Maspeth Creek, Whale Creek, East Branch, and English Kills) having an approximate 3.8-mile reach (Figures 1-1 and 1-2) to the high water mark1.

This DCP includes collection and evaluation of historical data pertaining to the Study Area itself, as well as collection and evaluation of pre-existing documents and data from upland areas adjacent to the Study Area. The uplands area data collection activity is intended solely to help identify and quantify significant loadings of constituents of potential concern (COPCs) and, to the extent of available information, sources of such loadings to the Study Area. This DCP also details the objectives of the Historical Data Review, identifies the documents (or types of documents) that will be sought and likely sources of these documents, the process that will be followed to attempt to obtain these documents, a summary of efforts conducted to date to obtain these documents, and a summary of the documents collected to date. This plan discusses data acceptance criteria for use of relevant data in the RI/FS. Ways in which USEPA and the New York State Department of

1 The Newtown Creek Superfund Site Study Area is described in the AOC as encompassing the body of water known as Newtown Creek, situated at the border of the boroughs of Brooklyn (Kings County) and Queens (Queens County) in the City of New York and the State of New York, roughly centered at the geographic coordinates of 40° 42' 54.69” north latitude (40.715192°) and 73° 55' 50.74” west longitude (-73.930762°), having an approximate 3.8-mile reach, including Newtown Creek proper and its five branches (or tributaries) known respectively as Dutch Kills, Maspeth Creek, Whale Creek, East Branch, and English Kills, as well as the sediments below the water and the water column above the sediments, up to and including the landward edge of the shoreline, and including also any bulkheads or riprap containing the waterbody, except where no bulkhead or riprap exists, then the Study Area shall extend to the ordinary high water mark, as defined in 33 CFR §328(e) and the areal extent of the contamination from such area, but not including upland areas beyond the landward edge of the shoreline (notwithstanding that such upland areas may subsequently be identified as sources of contamination to the waterbody and its sediments or that such upland areas may be included within the scope of the Newtown Creek Superfund Site as listed pursuant to Section 105(a)(8) of CERCLA).

2 STUDY AREA AND RI/FS OVERVIEW This section describes the Study Area history, provides a summary of the RI/FS objectives, and presents the objectives, scope, schedule, and outcomes of the Historical Data Review. Additional information on the RI/FS is provided in the RI/FS Work Plan (AECOM 2011).

2.1 History The Newtown Creek area of Brooklyn and Queens has a history of extensive industrial development stretching back to the 1800s. This development resulted in major reworking of the banks and channel for drainage, municipal discharges, and use for navigation purposes. The channelizing and deepening of Newtown Creek and its tributaries was largely completed to its current configuration by the 1920s and 1930s. This historical development has resulted in changes in the nature of Newtown Creek and its tributaries from a natural drainage condition to one that is largely governed by engineered and institutional systems. Currently, the predominant land use around Newtown Creek and its tributaries includes industrial, manufacturing, transportation, and utility facilities. The majority of land around Newtown Creek and its tributaries is designated by New York City (NYC) as one of NYC’s six Significant Maritime and Industrial Areas (SMIAs). NYC’s designation of the area around the Study Area as a SMIA reflects NYC’s determination that the anticipated future uses of surrounding property include maritime industrial uses as well as other compatible industrial uses.

2.2 RI/FS Goals and Objectives The goal of the RI/FS is to conduct a scientifically sound, comprehensive investigation of the Study Area following the appropriate USEPA and NYSDEC guidance documents and the principles outlined in the USEPA Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for Hazardous Waste Sites (USEPA 2005) for the purpose of providing the basis for sound scientifically-based decisions on the future condition of the Study Area. The following specific objectives have been established to achieve this goal:

1. Identify, quantify, and understand the vertical and horizontal distribution of COPCs in sediment and surface water, and other constituents and stressors that may impact the ecology and quality of the Study Area sediment, water, and biota. This will

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

include a complete characterization of COPCs in the Study Area, notwithstanding whether the initial release included petroleum or any other substance. The synergistic relationships among substances will be considered to the extent necessary for such characterization. 2. Identify and quantify significant loadings of COPCs and, to the extent of the available information, sources of such loadings to the Study Area surface water, sediments, groundwater, and biota. In the case of ongoing upland sources, refer future investigation of sources to the appropriate regulating agency (i.e., the USEPA, the NYSDEC, or the NYC Department of Environmental Protection [NYCDEP]). For more details on evaluation of upland sources see Section 3.2.4 of the RI/FS Work Plan. As stated in USEPA Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for Hazardous Waste Sites (USEPA 2005), sources of contaminants to sediments must be controlled early and if recontamination is likely to occur, then sources should be controlled prior to establishing end points and prior to the implementation of sediment remedies. Therefore, it is important to identify and control significant sources of contaminants to the Study Area prior to implementing an effective remedy. 3. Understand the key geomorphological, chemical, and biological processes affecting the stability of sediments and the fate, transport, and bioavailability of COPCs. 4. Identify complete and reasonably potentially complete (considering the urban nature of the Study Area and the impact of future contaminant loadings on the ecology and quality of the Study Area) exposure pathways and identify potential current and future human health and ecological risks posed by the COPCs present in the Study Area. 5. Identify and evaluate potential remedial actions that provide meaningful risk reduction and provide the highest, best possible use of the Study Area, considering the urban nature of the Study Area and the impact of future contaminant loadings on the ecology and quality of the Study Area.

2.3 Objectives and Scope of the Historical Data Review The objective of the Historical Data Review is to use the extensive preexisting relevant data (referred to as historical data) for the Newtown Creek drainage area (see Figure 2-1) (i.e., the Historical Data Review Area) to support the RI/FS evaluations. These data will: 1) provide a robust base of input to the development of the conceptual site model (CSM); 2) provide an

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

understanding of the current state of the Study Area; and 3) aid in the evaluation of potential sources of significant contaminant loadings to the Study Area. These data uses are further described below. Following the acquisition and evaluation of the information obtained during the Historical Data Review, significant data gaps, if any, will be identified. If necessary, RI/FS activities will be identified to fill these gaps.

Three general categories of historical data will be collected: environmental data, physical data, and Study Area data. Environmental data and physical data will be obtained and evaluated as part of the “dual-component approach” to executing the Historical Data Review, as described in the RI/FS Work Plan. In addition, historical analytical data and other data from the Study Area will also be obtained and included in the Historical Data Review. The objectives for the collection of these three categories of historical data are described below.

Environmental Data. The objective of obtaining environmental historical data is to aid in the evaluation of potential sources of significant contaminant loadings (e.g., pipe, nonpoint source stormwater, and groundwater discharges) to the Study Area. The sources of significant contaminant loadings that will be researched include those that occurred during the industrialized past as well as current, ongoing contaminant loadings.

The types of historical data that are anticipated to be collected to support the evaluation of potential sources of contaminant loadings are from environmental site investigations under a variety of State and Federal environmental programs (e.g., Brownfield Cleanup Program, State Superfund Program, Voluntary Cleanup Program [VCP]) within the Historical Data Review Area. Additionally, information on use and storage of chemicals within the Historical Data Review Area will be obtained to identify potential sources of these chemicals to the Study Area. The use and storage of chemicals is monitored under various regulatory programs. Similarly, information on discharges to the Study Area or Study Area sewers by significant industrial users (SIUs) and SIU non-compliance will be obtained to identify potential sources of chemicals to the Study Area. Reports of spills and releases within the Historical Data Review Area will also be obtained.

Physical Data. The objective of obtaining physical historical data is to aid in developing a higher level of understanding of the physical characteristics of the Study Area. These

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 7 110782.01-01

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

physical characteristics will provide basic information to support many of the evaluations that will be performed during the RI/FS. The types of evaluations that may rely on relevant physical data include the hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and fate and transport models; evaluations of areas of sediment deposition and erosion; and identification of ecological habitats.

The physical data may also be used to aid in the evaluation of potential sources of significant contaminant loadings to the Study Area. It is anticipated that relevant historical physical data will identify locations of historical fill that may be sources of contaminant loadings to the Study Area, and that historical aerial photographs may identify the locations of industries that previously operated along the Study Area.

The types of data in this category include information on the hydrogeology, historical dredging, topography, landforms, filling to create land behind the bulkheads, bulkhead construction, changes in the configuration of Newtown Creek and its tributaries and changes in filled areas, past industrial operations, bridge and tunnel construction, groundwater use, monitoring well locations, pumping well locations, groundwater flow, aquifer parameters, surface water flow, pipe flows (including permitted industrial discharges, unknown discharges, combined sewer overflows, and storm sewer outfalls), models, wetlands, utilities, hydrographic surveys, etc.

Also included in this category are data on the current and future uses of the Study Area. These data may include information on the current uses of the Study Area including location of docks, frequency of barge traffic, recreational water use, fishing, and crabbing. The data may also include any available information on future potential use (e.g., zoning changes, planned boat launches, planned construction, etc.).

Study Area Data. The objective of obtaining data collected in and around the Study Area is to compile relevant available site characterization data from historical investigations. Data related to the surface water, ecology, and/or sediments have been collected for the Study Area over the past 100 years. These data have been collected under a variety of regulatory programs and, where available, will expand the knowledge of the nature and extent of constituents in Study Area media, aid in the design of field programs, and provide relevant

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 8 110782.01-01

Study Area and RI/FS Overview data for comparison with RI data to aid in the evaluation of changes in the concentrations and distribution of constituents within Study Area media.

NYCDEP and NYSDEC have collected sediment, water quality, and biological data in the Study Area. Sediment data have been collected by USEPA as part of the Environmental Site Investigation (ESI) and surface water, pore water, and sediment data have been collected as part of the Laurel Hill Operable Unit 6 (OU6) RI investigation. Data have also been collected of the flow characteristics and shoreline conditions of the Study Area and pipe discharges to the Study Area.

2.4 RI Activities Supported by Historical Data Review The data gathered as part of the Historical Data Review will be used to support the development and/or completion of evaluations conducted as part of the RI/FS including the following:

• Cultural Resources Survey (CRS) – The CRS will be completed in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 800), and will identify any archaeological and architectural resources within the Study Area that might be affected by potential remedial action. The proposed archaeological area of potential effect (APE) for the current project includes the Study Area with a 50-foot buffer inland from the bulkhead, riprap, or gravity wall line. The historic architectural APE will encompass properties that flank the Study Area. Sanborn maps, industrial atlases, and historic photographs collected during the Historical Data Review will be used in the CRS to help develop a prehistoric and historic context. • Shoreline Assessment and Habitat Surveys – The shoreline assessment and habitat surveys will be conducted to identify the type of shoreline, potential sources of contaminant loadings to the Study Area, and ecological habitat along the shoreline. Physical data from the Historical Data Review (including aerial photographs and historical maps) will be consulted in the creation of base maps for these activities and to identify areas of potential ecological habitat. • Potential Sources Sampling (Phase 1 and Phase 2 RI) – Potential sources sampling will be conducted during the Phase 1 RI Field Program as opportunistic sampling of select

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 9 110782.01-01

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

seeps, outfalls, overland flows, discharge pipes, and/or sediments in the areas of potentially significant surface water contributions or in other areas where sediment is visually impacted. Phase 1 RI Field Program sources sampling will also be conducted based on the evaluation of the Phase 1 RI survey data and available Historical Data Review information completed by the midpoint of the Phase 1 RI Field Program. The plan for this sampling will be provided in the Phase 1 RI Work Plan Addendum which will present the locations, procedures, and constituents for the collection of in- creek and/or land-based groundwater samples. Should an upland site ultimately require the installation of upland wells to fully characterize the upland contaminant loadings, this characterization will be the subject of the process outlined in Section 3.2.4 of the RI/FS Work Plan (AECOM 2011) and Section XI, Paragraph 54.e and Section XII, Paragraph 58.b of the AOC. Sources sampling for Phase 2 of the RI will be based on the results of the Historical Data Review and review of the Phase 1 RI data. • Biological Evaluations – Biological evaluations (e.g., benthic macroinvertebrate surveys and fish identification community surveys) will be conducted to further define the historical and current ecological condition in the Study Area. Data collected during the Historical Data Review to support the biological evaluations will provide information on in-creek habitat (e.g., depth of Study Area and flow conditions), and historic and current water quality conditions (e.g., dissolved oxygen [DO] levels and seasonal variations in DO levels). • Identification of Reference Sites/Background Locations – Reference sites and background locations will be selected for the RI, including the baseline ecological risk assessment (BERA). These locations will be sampled and the results used to compare with the RI results. Reference sites are selected to have the same physical, chemical, geological, and biological characteristics as the site being investigated, but that have not been affected by activities at the site. The Historical Data Review will provide physical and Study Area characteristics that will be used to help identify appropriate reference sites. • Computer Modeling – Analytical and/or more complex numerical modeling will be used as a diagnostic tool to develop portions of the CSM and as a predictive tool to estimate sediment and surface water quality in the future. Physical data collected during the Historical Data Review will be used to help refine the CSM and will also

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

develop inputs to the hydraulic and sediment transport models developed for the RI/FS. • Screening Level Ecological Risk Assessment (SLERA) – The SLERA will be conducted to determine if the information available for the Study Area is adequate to make risk management decisions, to define a preliminary ecological CSM that incorporates the ecological risk-related issues of concern in the context of the CERCLA process, and to focus further evaluation on key receptors, pathways and constituents of potential ecological concern (COPECs) for evaluation in the BERA. Study Area biological and chemical data collected during the Historical Data Review will help inform the SLERA. • BERA – The BERA establishes and evaluates assessment endpoints (receptors and attributes) and exposure pathways under current and/or reasonable future conditions for the COPECs identified as the outcome of the SLERA. The BERA determines if a risk is present to ecological receptors and identifies a range of potential effects on the endpoints from Study Area-related impacts. Historical Data Review data from the three data categories (environmental, physical, and Study Area data) will be used during the BERA to understand current and future conditions of the Study Area. • Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) – The HHRA determines whether Study Area media pose potential unacceptable risk to human health under current and/or likely future uses and, if warranted, the HHRA assists in decisions regarding remedial actions for the Study Area. Historical Data Review data from the three data categories (environmental, physical, and Study Area data) will be used during the HHRA to understand current and likely future human use of the Study Area and likely future conditions of the Study Area media (e.g., surface water, sediment).

2.5 Results of Historical Data Review The results of the Historical Data Review will be presented in the Phase 1 RI Interim Data Report and in the Data Applicability Report. Each of these reports is discussed below.

The Phase 1 RI Interim Data Report will be prepared prior to the midpoint of the Phase 1 RI Field Program. In addition to summarizing the Historical Data Review information obtained up to that point in time, this interim data report will summarize the results of the surveys performed (bathymetric, side-scan sonar, and magnetic surveys; aerial photography survey;

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 11 110782.01-01

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

and shoreline assessment). This Phase 1 RI Interim Data Report will serve as the basis to identify potential significant loadings of COPCs to the Study Area. Using a weight of evidence approach, this interim data report will provide the basis to identify locations where further sampling, consistent with the provisions of the RI/FS Work Plan and the AOC, will be proposed to evaluate if those locations are sources of significant loadings of COPCs to the Study Area. The purpose of identifying sources of significant loadings of COPCs is not to fully characterize or delineate contaminant sources in the uplands located outside the Study Area, rather it is to identify where sources contribute significant loadings of COPCs to the Study Area. The sampling proposed in the Phase 1 RI Interim Data Report will be conducted in the second half of the Phase 1 RI Field Program following the approval by USEPA of a work plan addendum and the associated supporting plans for this work.

The Data Applicability Report will summarize the relevant historical data collected as part of the Historical Data Review and evaluate the quality and usefulness of the data in developing the CSM and providing input to modeling, risk assessments, and/or the FS. The report will include the following components:

• Objectives of the Historical Data Review • Methodology for collection of data and sources of data • Methodology for evaluation of quantitative and qualitative data • A bibliography of data collected organized by type (environmental, physical, and Study Area), noting that some may appear in more than one category • Results of the evaluation of quantitative and qualitative data, including a request to include specified historical data in the RI evaluation • Site summaries for upland sites which may be potential sources of significant loadings to the Study Area

The Data Applicability Report will also include a data gap analysis to identify where the collection of additional relevant data may be needed to better understand the relationship between a potential source of contaminant loadings to the Study Area and its impact on the Study Area. As indicated above, if appropriate, RI/FS activities consistent with the RI/FS Work Plan will be identified to fill these gaps as part of future field programs, including the Phase 2 RI Field Program and the BERA Field Sampling Program.

Study Area and RI/FS Overview

2.6 Schedule for Historical Data Review The Historical Data Review will primarily be conducted concurrently with the Phase 1 RI Field Program. The results of the Historical Data Review will be summarized in the Data Applicability Report that will be submitted near the end of the Phase 1 RI Field Program. As discussed in this DCP, some research has already been conducted in the preparation of the RI/FS Work Plan. Because the bulk of the data identified in this DCP will be provided by entities that are not Respondents to the AOC, the schedule for obtaining data from these entities is uncertain and may extend beyond the end of the Phase 1 RI Field Program. Data received after the submittal of the Data Applicability Report will be summarized in an addendum to this report.

3 OVERVIEW OF HISTORICAL DATA COLLECTION PROCESS This section describes the approach to data collection, types of available relevant historical data that will be collected to support the RI/FS, and the roles and responsibilities of personnel that have primary roles in the Historical Data Review process. “Available data” is defined as those data that are sufficient and appropriate for the intended uses, and which:

• Can be obtained via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), or similar requests for public information • Can be reviewed and obtained at public repositories • Can be identified and obtained via internet searches • Are supplied by others (i.e., are not from sources identified above and are not collected during the Phase 1 RI Field Program)

3.1 Approach to Data Collection Historical data collection began with the preparation of the RI/FS Work Plan. Initial research for environmental, physical, and Study Area data was conducted to develop a preliminary CSM, as presented in Section 2 of the RI/FS Work Plan. As a result, a number of documents or types of documents have already been collected and others have been identified for data collection. A brief summary of this initial research along with plans for collecting additional relevant data is provided, by data type, in Sections 4 through 6. The identification of additional data sources and documents will be conducted through web searches and review of documents already obtained. It is anticipated that documents will be available electronically via the internet, require a visit to an institution or Agency repository or office, or require a written request and possibly a follow up on-site file review. The data collection activities to identify and obtain data are provided in Figure 3-1. Any data which require a formal request (e.g., FOIL or FOIA requests) will be reviewed by the RI Manager and the Respondents prior to submission.

3.2 Types of Information Collected as Historical Data The following is a list of the types of information that will be searched and relevant data collected as part of the Historical Data Review:

• Reports (including environmental investigation and remediation reports, dredging

Overview of Historical Data Collection Process

reports, outfall surveys) • Numeric data (including groundwater monitoring data, analytical data, hydraulic/hydrologic model data, subway dewatering data) • Maps (including Sanborn maps, other historical maps, land use maps, industrial atlases, water well maps) • Aerial photographs • Permits (including State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System [SPDES]) • Other regulatory documents

These data will be available in various formats, as listed below:

• Report/document (electronic or hard copy) • Tabular – editable (electronic) • Tabular – non-editable (electronic) • Tabular (hard copy) • Database • Geographic Information System (GIS) coverage • Maps and aerial photos (electronic/non-editable or hard copy)

3.3 Roles and Responsibilities The following Anchor QEA personnel in the following roles have a primarily responsibility for the data collection as part of the Historical Data Review.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA COLLECTION As described in Section 2, environmental data are those data related to environmental sites, such as (but not limited to) those undergoing environmental restoration, sites at which Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Large Quantity Generators have operated, SPDES-permitted sites, Brownfields sites, sites that have or are undergoing remedial activities under the New York State VCP, environmental remediation sites with institutional or engineering controls in place, and sites at which leaks and/or spills are known to have impacted groundwater. Potential sources for these data include USEPA and NYSDEC websites and files and Respondents’ files.

Some research on environmental data was required for preparation of the RI/FS Work Plan (AECOM 2011). Environmental sites were identified from the New York State and Federal GIS databases of remediation sites and sites that store or have released chemicals to the environment and from other State and Federal sources (e.g., USEPA Expanded Site Inspection Report [Weston Solutions 2009]). Databases reviewed include:

• NYSDEC remediation sites in NYSDEC Region 2 (as provided by NYSDEC in August 2010) • Spills and releases in NYSDEC Region 2 (as provided by NYSDEC in August 2010) • Bulk storage facilities in NYSDEC Region 2 (as provided by NYSDEC in August 2010) • New York SPDES dataset (as provided by NYSDEC in August 2010) • USEPA RCRA/CERCLA sites (downloaded from USEPA Geospatial Data Download Service-Envirofacts Database, August 2010) • USEPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) sites (http://www.epa.gov/tri/)

A summary of these data were provided in Section 2 and Appendix B of the RI/FS Work Plan (AECOM 2011).

In addition to a review of the databases listed above, various websites have also been reviewed for the presence of environmental sites within the Historical Data Review Area, including the following:

Website Name Website Address USEPA Region 2 http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/region2.html USEPA Envirofacts RCRA Info http://www.epa.gov/enviro/facts/rcrainfo/search.html Search NYSDEC http://www.dec.ny.gov/ NYSDEC Environmental Site http://www.dec.ny.gov/cfmx/extapps/derexternal/index.cfm?p Remediation Database Search ageid=3 Habitat Map http://habitatmap.org/

Respondents’ data is also being compiled from existing data repositories regarding environmental activities at their own sites near the Study Area, including hydrogeologic information and remedial activities.

The review of the databases, websites, and available reports showed no USEPA CERCLA or RCRA Corrective Action sites, other than Newtown Creek, present in the Historical Data Review Area; however, numerous NYSDEC sites were identified (see Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1).

Based on the data identified by the time of the writing of this DCP, a bibliography of environmental site information was prepared along with initial site summaries for the environmental sites for which reports and data were available (see Figure 4-2 and Appendix A). An information request has been submitted to NYSDEC for additional data related to the sites identified (see Appendix B). The Historical Data Review Task Manager is working with the various NYSDEC Project Managers to collect data for these sites. Additional research concerning environmental sites is still required for SIUs and via the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) website (http://www.epa-echo.gov/echo/). This research will be conducted as part of the Historical Data Review.

It is anticipated that during the Historical Data Review, as well as during the course of the RI/FS, additional data needs regarding environmental sites will be identified. Any data identified will be collected in accordance with this DCP and managed in accordance with the Data Management Plan (DMP; Anchor QEA 2011b).

5 PHYSICAL DATA COLLECTION As described in Section 2, physical data are those data that describe the physical characteristics and uses of the Study Area and surrounding area over time. During the course of the development of the RI/FS Work Plan, various physical data were identified and obtained. These include zoning information, previous hydrographic survey information, aerial photography, and historical maps. An example of an aerial photograph obtained is provided in Figure 1-1. Data on the zoning around the Study Area and the SMIA for Newtown Creek are provided in Figure 5-1. Examples of previous hydrographic surveys for which information has been obtained include the Laurel Hill OU6 bathymetric survey performed in 2003 (Figure 5-2), the 2005/2006 NYCDEP bathymetric data for select portions of the Study Area (Figure 5-3), the NYCDEP maintenance dredging study hydrographic surveys performed in 2008 (NYCDEP 2009; Figure 5-4), and the 2009 United States Army Corps of Engineers Controlling Depth Reports and Surveys (not reproduced in this Data Collection Plan because of the size and format of the data). One of the historical maps obtained is provided in Figure 5-5.

Additional physical data on the characteristics and uses of Newtown Creek may be obtained from various sources. Table 5-1 contains a list of agencies and institutions identified to obtain some of these data, as well as contact information, the anticipated data to be collected, and the anticipated type of data collection activity required. This table will be updated with additional data sources, the agencies and institutions contacted, and the data obtained during the course of the Historical Data Review and provided as part of the Data Applicability Report.

It is anticipated that during the Historical Data Review, as well as during the course of the RI/FS, additional physical data needs will be identified. Any data identified will be collected in accordance with this DCP and managed in accordance with the DMP (Anchor QEA 2011b).

6 STUDY AREA DATA COLLECTION As described in Section 2, Study Area data are chemical and biological data collected within the Study Area. During the course of the development of the RI/FS Work Plan, various types of Study Area data were identified and obtained. These include sediment, surface water, Sedflume, and current meter data. The Laurel Hill OU6 RI included studies of these media (see Figure 6-1 for sampling locations). The USEPA ESI included investigation of sediment (see Figure 6-2 for locations). Surface water and sediment data were collected of portions of Newtown Creek and Whale Creek as part of the NYCDEP maintenance dredging study (see Figure 6-3 for locations). The data for these locations has been obtained and will be evaluated, as described in Section 8 and in the DMP, for use in the RI/FS.

Additional reports and topics of interest regarding the Study Area have also been identified, including various data on chemical and biological evaluations of the Study Area (see Table 6-1). Efforts are underway to obtain the data in this table that has not already been obtained.

It is anticipated that during the Historical Data Review, as well as during the course of the RI/FS, additional data needs will be identified. Any data identified will be collected in accordance with this DCP and managed in accordance with the DMP (Anchor QEA 2011b).

7 DATA COLLECTION PROCESS As discussed in Section 3, data may be made available for collection as follows:

• Documents may be obtained from the internet. • Agencies and other entities may provide their files electronically (e.g., by e-mail, by file transfer protocol (FTP), on CD, or in hard copy (e.g., by mail, delivery service, or fax). • In-office reviews of an Agency’s or other entity’s files may be conducted.

As data are collected, Form 1, Record Batch Collection Transmittal Form (see Figure 7-1) will be completed by the Data Collector and sent, with the data, to the Historical Data Review Task Manager.

For data obtained in hard copy, Form 1 will be completed in hard copy and physically attached to the data. For data obtained electronically, Form 1 will be completed, scanned, and electronically attached to the data.

During an in-office file review, photocopies will be made of documents that are only available as hard copies. Documents that are available electronically will be saved to a stick drive or other portable storage device for transmittal to the Historical Data Review Task Manager.

Files saved to a portable device will be named in accordance with a pre-determined naming convention, “yyyy-mm-dd [Document title].” Any missing elements in the date will be replaced by a question mark (“?”). Naming conventions are further described in Section 8.1.

The Historical Data Review Task Manager will then oversee the review, evaluation and qualification of the data in accordance with the DMP (Anchor QEA 2011b), as summarized in Section 8.2.

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 42 110782.01-01

8 HISTORICAL DATA REPOSITORY A variety of data (including various technical reports, sampling results, and other relevant information) will be collected, reviewed, and evaluated during the Historical Data Review. An electronic data repository will be established for the historical documents collected. Hard copy and static documents will be scanned, and stored electronically on Anchor QEA’s computer network.

8.1 Naming Conventions Historical data will be assigned of a document name using the following format:

• Date first: yyyy-mm-dd. (This allows documents within a topical folder to be sorted by date and facilitates orderly review and analysis of related materials.) • Title: Actual titles visible on the document will be incorporated into the name of the Portable Document Format (PDF) using the significant key words of the title and approved abbreviations. This will include subject lines on letters and memoranda, headings on charts, title blocks on maps.

− Example Document Citation: Handex, 1995. Annual Groundwater Sampling/ Monthly Monitoring Report. Shell Oil Terminal, 25 Paidge Avenue, Brooklyn, New York June 30.

− Example Repository File Name: 1995-06-30 Shell Annual GW Sampling.pdf.

For large complex documents that are scanned and converted to PDF files in logical units, the part number of the document will be appended to the title (e.g., -01, -02, etc.).

8.2 Historical Data Review Quality Assurance/Quality Control Processes The quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) process serves to evaluate the completeness and accuracy of data collection and management.

Minimum Data Acceptance Criteria (MDAC) have been established for the analytical data collected during the Historical Data Review. The MDAC will determine if data are acceptable for potential use in specific elements of the RI/FS without additional review and signoff. These MDAC include:

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 43 110782.01-01

Historical Data Repository

• Data are from a known, documented source (e.g., government agency, scholarly research article or document, other technical documents) • Data are from the original source (as opposed to quoted/referenced in a secondary source) • Data have adequate QA documentation • For analytical data:

− Data tables are available (i.e., not summary format) with laboratory reports and data validation information

− Standard, currently acceptable methods were used for data analysis

− Appropriate detection limits are achieved so that that data meet RI/FS Data Quality Objectives (DQOs)

Data not meeting MDAC may undergo further review by the RI/FS Project Manager, RI Manager, or their designees for alternate acceptance for use. Based on this review, the data may be accepted for only limited use, accepted for broader use subject to Activity Specific Acceptance Criteria (ASAC), or rejected for all uses. However, data will not be removed from the data repository.

ASAC are need-specific criteria (e.g., age of data, detection limits, methods use) as appropriate for a specific data use. They are developed for specific technical uses and may include required (must exist for use) and desired (beneficial but not essential for use) criteria. These criteria are not addressed in detail in this document, but will be provided if data are used for activity-specific uses.

As discussed above, analytical data collected from historical sources will be evaluated for quality, including a QA/QC review if appropriate, related to their addition to the analytical database and use in the RI/FS. This quality review, including how the quality of the data relates to the use, will be submitted to the USEPA in reports in which the data are used. These reports are subject to USEPA’s review and approval.

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 44 110782.01-01

9 RESOURCES REQUIRING ASSISTANCE FROM USEPA AND NYSDEC The RI/FS Work Plan states that this DCP will identify where USEPA and NYSDEC assistance is needed to obtain historical data. Currently, the assistance needed from the USEPA is to submit Section 104(e) Information Requests to companies that are or have operated in the area around the Study Area.

As stated in Section 4, the Historical Data Review Task Manager is working with the various NYSDEC Project Managers to collect data for sites located within the Historical Data Review Area.

Further requests for assistance may be made as the historical data collection process continues.

Results of Investigations:

• Elevated volatile organic compounds (e.g., chloromethane, methylene chloride, benzene, and ethylbenzene) in wastewater • Facility received notice of violation (NOV) related to oil leak and failure to clean up the leak. • High atmospheric concentrations of xylene, toluene, alcohol in sewer system near the facility. • Gross failures of tank tests for isopropanol and methanol tanks. • Concerns about explosive concentrations of chemicals in sewers throughout 1989. • April 10, 1990 - no evidence was found which would indicate a severe impact to the site's soils/groundwaters due to any past failures of methanol or xylene storage tank systems. • According to the Report on the Preliminary Site Assessment data collected during the 1993 PSA indicated that groundwater beneath the site has been impacted by leaks in the xylene wastewater treatment system. The plume of xylene-contaminated groundwater extends 100 feet downgradient of the site approximately to the intersection of 37th Street and Starr Avenue. However, due to the absence of potential sensitive receptors downgradient of the site, the plume of contaminated groundwater does not represent a significant threat to public health of the environment. • Xylene impacted soils beneath building from the xylene wastewater treatment trench

At 7.48 gallons per feet3, this results in 1,683,000 gallons. Assuming a porosity of 0.3, this means that there are 504,900 gallons of xylene-impacted groundwater water in the aquifer. This does not account for the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remaining in the capillary fringe zone. Therefore, SMC Environmental estimates that approximately 500 gallons of xylenes remain in a dissolved state in the groundwater and capillary fringe zone. Since a total of 4,700 pounds of xylenes have been removed since interim remedial actions were initiated in 1994 and 1995, it was concluded that most of the xylenes were in the soils. As documented in the RI, all of the levels of xylenes in the soils have been remediated via the SVE system to below the New York State Department on Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) standards, with the exception of a 25 square foot pocket of xylene-impacted soils. However, this area is located more than 20 feet below the floor of the building. The levels of xylene in soils within this area decreased from 2,000 parts per million (ppm) to 9 ppm. Therefore, the amount of xylenes remaining in soils should be less than 3 pounds. (from 2002 Operations and Maintenance Monitoring Manual Vol 1)

3.1 101-105 West Street (DCP Site No. 135) Site Description: 101-105 West Street is located in the Greenpoint area of Brooklyn, NY 10310, Block 2556, Lot 58. The site is a 0.2-acre parcel used as a construction material storage yard. It is located between Kent Street and Java Street, on the west side of West Street. A commercial property borders the site to the east. The intended use of the site remains to be a construction material storage yard. The surrounding uses are mainly residential with some commercial divisions. Contamination at the site was predominantly in the soil and represented by Semi Volatile Organic Compounds and metals, and resulted from historic fill and uncontrolled dumping of oil and oil-related products from trucks loading construction materials. The Remedial Investigation work plan was approved in 1999 and the RI was completed in 2000. The groundwater is 8-10 feet below ground. The soil is sandy and it is covered with 3-4 feet of fill material. The Remedial Work Plan was approved in 2001 and the field remedial work was completed in 2002. The remedy involved excavation of the entire site and off-site disposal. Clean backfill material has been placed in the former excavation. Remedial work at the site is completed.

Site Number on Figure 4-1 and in Table 4-1 of the Data Collection Plan: 135

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• Voluntary Cleanup Program Site Number V00231

Site Environmental Assessment: The contaminants of concern in soil at the site were Semi Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) and heavy metals. The groundwater has not been impacted by the contaminants. In 1998, the Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment have revealed that the contaminants of concern in soil were above TAGM 4046 RSCO. The SVOCs had exceedances ranging from non detected to Benzo(a)anthracene 43 ppm, benzo(a)fluoranthene 1500 ppm, benzo(b)fluoranthene 41 ppm, benzo(k)fluoranthene 26 ppm, benzo(a)pyrene 41ppm, Chrysene 38ppm,Dibenzofuran 12 ppm. Some of the heavy metal exceedances were Arsenic 52 ppm, Selenium 5.6 ppm, Chromium 49 ppm, Cadmium 12.5 ppm, Lead 1930 ppm, Zinc 1490 ppm, and Mercury 3.5 ppm. The source was presumed to be in the fill material and also produced by uncontrolled dumping. During the remedial phase, the site has been excavated and the end point samples showed that the concentrations of the contaminant

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 112 110782.01-01

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review levels were very close to TAGM 4046 RSCO. The excavation has been backfilled with clean soil. The remediation was completed in 2002.

Site Health Assessment: Soils contaminated with metals and semi-volatile organic compounds were identified at this site. Contaminated soils have either been excavated and disposed of offsite or are covered by a concrete slab or the onsite building, thereby minimizing the potential for direct contact exposures. Groundwater has not been impacted; therefore there is no potential for ingestion exposures. Volatile organic compounds were not detected at this site therefore; inhalation via soil vapor intrusion is not a potential exposure pathway.

3.2 2 Ingraham Street (DCP Site No. 24) Site Description: The site is located at 2 Ingraham Street in the East Williamsburg Area of Brooklyn, NY. The site is a 0.5 acre warehouse and is bordered on the south by Harrison Place, on the north by Ingraham Street, on the west by Bogart Street, and on the east by Morgan Avenue. The current zoning of the property is M1-2 (light manufacturing), and current use of the property is light industrial. The neighborhood is mixed industrial, residential and commercial. A New York City Transit Authority subway line is located underneath of Harrison Place. The regional groundwater flow direction is generally to the northeast toward the English Kills. The prior use that appears to have led to site contamination is metal plating operations by the Former Jayar Plating Co. in the northwestern section of the warehouse. Previous investigation at the site, performed by the previous owner, revealed high concentrations of heavy metals in the subsurface soils and groundwater at the northwestern portion of the warehouse. As of this update, a Brownfield Cleanup Agreement has been executed. A Remedial Investigation Work Plan will be developed.

3.3 192 Ralph Avenue (DCP Site No. 23) Site Description: The site is located in an urban area in Brooklyn and occupies 188-190- 192 Ralph Ave. It is a building used for commercial purposes with 3 stories at 188-190 Ralph Avenue, and a one story building with a basement at 192 Ralph Avenue. Surrounding land uses are residential and commercial; a church is directly to the east of the site on Ralph Avenue. A dry cleaner operated on the 192 Ralph Avenue part of the site from approximately 1946 to 1998. The contamination identified at the site appears to be associated with the former dry-cleaning facility operation at the site. Completed investigations include a Subsurface Investigation (2002, a Remedial Investigation (2006), and a Supplemental Investigation (December 2007). Samples collected from the site buildings and from an adjacent residential building indicate that soil vapor is impacting indoor air. A mitigation system was installed in January 2008. Additional investigations to support the design of a site remedy are underway. Brooklyn Properties 5, LLC (the Volunteer) declined to perform the cleanup of the off-site contamination. The portion of the site where former dry-cleaning operations took place has been placed on the NYS Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal sites (I.D. No. 224042).

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• Voluntary Cleanup Program Site Number V00669

Site Environmental Assessment: Investigations conducted at the site confirm that chlorinated solvent contamination is present in the basement area where the former dry- cleaner operated from about 1946 to 1998. Contaminants of concern are tetrachloroethylene (PCE), Trichlorethylene (TCE), and its breakdown products which were detected in soil, soil gas, indoor air, and groundwater and exceed standards, criteria and guidance levels. PCE has been detected on-site with concentrations up to 344 ppm in soil, up to 10 ppm in groundwater, and up to 55,000,000 μg/m3 in soil vapor. Investigation data also indicate that contamination appears to have migrated off-site. PCE was detected at off-site locations with concentration up to 1,100,000 μg/m3 in soil vapor beneath the adjacent residential apartment building, and up to 7.10 ppm in off-site groundwater.

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review Site Health Assessment: Soil contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) has been identified at this site. T he site is located in a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood. The contaminated soil is located beneath the building and is inaccessible. Exposure to groundwater is not likely since the area is served by a public water supply. Elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds have been identified in on-site and off-site soil vapor. On-site indoor air sampling has detected PCE above NYSDOH air guidelines. Therefore, on-site inhalation exposures via vapor intrusion is a completed exposure pathway. Soil vapor beneath the adjacent apartment building is extremely elevated. However, the data indicate that vapor intrusion is not currently occurring. Significant soil vapor concentrations have been detected migrating off-site. Therefore, off-site inhalation exposure is a potential exposure pathway.

• Brownfield Cleanup Program Site Number C224102

Site Environmental Assessment: Phase I and Phase II Site Investigations (2003 and 2004) were performed prior to the Site's entry into the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP). The Volunteer entered into the BCP, and a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved in November 2005. The Remedial Investigation (RI) was conducted late 2005/early 2006. The RI Report was approved in April 2007. The RI confirmed that onsite soils and groundwater are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) consisting primarily of trichloroethene (TCE) and petroleum hydrocarbons. The major findings from the RI Report were: Two release areas (designated as Hotspots HS-1 and HS-2) were identified. The exact release mechanisms associated with HS-1 and HS-2 are unknown, but likely are associated with the historical industrial uses of the property or illegal dumping when the Site was vacant and uncontrolled. The predominant contaminant of concern in subsurface soils in HS-1 is TCE. The predominant contaminant of concern in subsurface soils in HS-2 are VOCs (including ethylbenzene, xylene, TCE, and trimethylbenzene). Subsurface soil samples collected from HS-2 also exhibited physical evidence of petroleum staining and/or odors. Groundwater on-site is impacted by the soil

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review contamination. Elevated concentrations of VOCs in soil vapor concentrations have been detected in the soil beneath the Site and at the perimeter of the Site. Based on these findings, the site was determined to pose a significant threat to human health and the environment. The draft Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP) was en submitted in February, 2008 and after two revisions, it was approved by NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health in August, 2008. The RAWP and corresponding fact sheet were placed in the repositories for public review. As part of the Remedial Design for the proposed remedy, a scope of work for a pilot study was submitted on June 23, 2008. The purpose of the pilot study is to define the design specifications for the proposed remedial actions namely the air sparging (AS) and soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems. The Pilot Study was completed and the report detailing the AS/SVE system design was submitted on October 23, 2008. The Final Remedial Design document was approved February 17, 2009.

Site Health Assessment: The area is served by municipal water, therefore exposures to contaminated groundwater are not expected. Site Assessments have identified contamination in surface and subsurface soils. The extent of soil contamination is being evaluated during the Remedial Investigation. A soil vapor survey is underway to evaluate the potential for exposures due to soil vapor intrusion in future buildings.

3.5 ACME Steel/Brass Foundry (DCP Site No. 25) Site Description: The site is located in a mixed residential/commercial/industrial area of the East Williamsburg section of Kings County (Borough of Brooklyn, New York City). The site is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Anthony Street and Porter Avenue. The site is covered by a multi-story brick building and a portion of a storage lot adjacent to the building on its eastern side. The site is currently occupied, and is utilized as a warehouse. A small residential area is located two blocks south of the site. The site had been utilized as a brass foundry from the mid-1960's to approximately 1993. The Department began a Site Characterization in this area during the spring of 2007 as part of a plume trackdown investigation (Meeker Avenue Plume Trackdown, DEC Site ID #224121). This location was specifically targeted for investigation based on Sanborn fire insurance map data indicating the site’s former usage as noted above, and the Phase 1 EDR report which lists the site as a generator of F001 waste (spent halogenated solvents used in de-greasing).

Site Number on Figure 4-1 and in Table 4-1 of the Data Collection Plan: 25

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• State Superfund Site Number 224132

Site Environmental Assessment: The primary contaminants of concern at the site are tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). PCE has been found in on-site soils at concentrations up to 220 ppm, and in on-site shallow groundwater up to 6,100 ppb. TCE has been found on-site in deep groundwater at concentrations up to 12,000 ppb. Groundwater standards have been exceeded for both PCE and TCE. The unrestricted use RSCO for PCE has been exceeded. The plume of PCE and TCE-contaminated groundwater has migrated at least 400' off-site. Soil vapor with elevated levels of PCE and TCE has been found in sub-slab samples collected from the nearby residential area. The site poses a significant environmental threat due to ongoing release of PCE and TCE into soil and groundwater.

Site Health Assessment: Exposure to site-related contamination in drinking water and soil is unlikely since area homes and businesses are supplied with public water and

This site was vacant from approximately 1980 to 1996 when Pep Boys entered the VCP program. In October 1998, the Volunteer transferred title and control of the Site as well as the Voluntary Cleanup Agreement (VCA) to Autozone, Inc. Currently, this site is an AutoZone retail auto-parts store consisting of a single story building and a parking lot (1798 Atlantic Avenue). Surrounding properties include residential dwellings and commercial buildings. The Boys and Girls High School is located across Atlantic Avenue at 1700 Fulton Street, Brooklyn NY. The source of contamination was the gasoline UST_s formerly located in the northeast corner of the property. Since 1996, Preliminary Site Investigation, Remedial Investigation and Remedial Action (cleanup) have been completed. See spill #9605043 Upon completion of the VCA in January 2009, environmental remediation has been completed to the satisfaction of the department.

Site Number on Figure 4-1 and in Table 4-1 of the Data Collection Plan: 26

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:  Voluntary Cleanup Program Site Number V00131

Site Environmental Assessment: The site has been remediated through the 1997 removal of underground gasoline and fuel oil storage tanks, hydraulic reservoirs, and contaminated soils. Treatment of residual contamination in soils and groundwater was accomplished through the use of Vacuum Enhanced Recovery (VER) and Oxygen Releasing Compound (ORC). A limited amount of gasoline contaminated soil in the northeast corner of the site was not removed to avoid undermining the sidewalk. Groundwater in the northeast corner exceeds standards for BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylenes), but is anticipated to naturally attenuate and meet standards over time. A deed restriction was executed on November 5, 2008 by AutoZone Inc., limiting site use to commercial or industrial, and prohibiting groundwater use without treatment.

Site Health Assessment: Contact with contaminants in soil is not expected since any residual contamination at the site is located at depth and the site is paved and/or covered

3.7 Atlas Park (DCP Site No. 1) Site Description: The Atlas Park Site is located at 8000 Cooper Avenue in Glendale, County of Queens, New York 11385. The Shops at Atlas Park (hereafter referred to as Atlas Park) is proposed for a 12-acre portion of a former 20-acre industrial park called Atlas Terminals, which is located in Glendale, Queens County. Future Shops at Atlas Park Project are located on the western portion of Atlas Terminals, originally a 20-acre site bound by 80th and 83rd Streets to the west and east, respectively, and Cooper Avenue and the LIRR right of way to the north and south, respectively. The original BCA covered a 12-acre site. However, Atlas Park was subsequently separated into two distinct areas: Parcel A (formerly known as the IRM Area and, retained the original BCA site No. 241045) and Parcel B (formerly known as the RI Area now designated BCA No. 241088). With concurrence of NYSDEC, the owner of the site proceeded with administrative process to separate Parcels A and B into separate Brownfield Cleanup Agreements. The original BCA has been amended to reflect the IRM Area as Parcel A, and the RI area as Parcel B. Amendment agreements were executed on October 11, 2005. Parcel A (the Site) consists of an 8.474-acre portion of the 12-acre Atlas Park site. Atlas Park now includes nearly 400,000 square feet of shopping, entertainment, dining, and office space. Atlas Terminals, an 80-year-old industrial park, is situated at the intersection of Cooper Avenue and 80th Street, in the Glendale Section of Queens. The former 44-building, one million square-foot park once served as an urban industrial park. The site was a center for the rag and knitting trades. As the industrial base of Queens declined, the site uses shifted to a mix of distribution/warehousing and knitting. The areas surrounding the Site are zoned mixed and manufacturing. The Site is located directly south of St. John's Cemetery. The areas west of the Site is Atlas Park - Parcel B, which consists of former industrial use buildings undergoing renovation. Further west, the properties across 80th Street are predominantly zoned for light manufacturing, with some private residences. There is an industrial, triangular-shaped property to the south between the Site and Long Island Railroad easement; the areas immediately south of the LIRR easement are primarily residential. The remaining Atlas Terminals industrial site lies due east of Atlas Park; the area further to the east across 83rd Street is a mixture of residential and manufacturing properties. In 1867 the site consisted primarily of farmland. Several buildings occupied the Site prior to 1922, although their historical use is unknown. In 1922, the approximately 20-acre property was sold to the Hemmerdinger Corporation and the Site

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 124 110782.01-01

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review became known as Atlas Terminals. The Hemmerdinger Corporation leased portions of the Site to various manufacturing and processing companies from 1922 to the present. A Certification of Completion was issued on December 31, 2005.

Site Environmental Assessment: The contaminants of concern within Parcel A included (prior to remediation) some metals and semi-volatile organic compounds, and very limited volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the groundwater and soil vapor beneath the Site. No on-site source of VOCs was identified in the historic fill or soil at the Parcel A. Given the detected concentrations of individual VOCs were below TAGM 4046 recommended soil cleanup objectives, VOCs were not contaminants of concern for the remedial activities which were completed on Parcel A in December 2005. The contaminants of concern (COCs) are discussed below: Soil – The COCs for the historic fill layer were identified to be seven PAHs, namely benzo(a) anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, ideno (1,2,3-cd)pyrene, and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and metals, which consisted of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, and lead. During implementation of the remedial excavation, previously unknown pockets of hazardous waste contamination have been discovered, which were associated with discovery of underground storage tanks, drums, vaults, etc. These pockets of hazardous waste contamination have been excavated and end-point confirmatory sampling verified that the remedial objectives have been met. Groundwater - PCE and TCE were detected in the groundwater aquifer more than 55 feet beneath the Site at concentrations above their respective Ambient Water Quality Standards. However, they were not considered COCs for groundwater because direct contact with groundwater is unlikely. PCE and TCE in groundwater were considered with respect to their potential to volatilize from the groundwater beneath the Site and migrate upwards in a vapor phase (see below). Soil Vapor - PCE was detected in the one soil vapor sample collected on the Site at a concentration above the NYSDOH guidance value. However, PCE is not considered a COC for soil vapor because there were no on-Site sources

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 125 110782.01-01

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review identified on Parcel A. The occurrence of PCE (and TCE) was considered and evaluated given their presence in groundwater beneath the Site and potential to migrate upwards from groundwater towards the planned new Site buildings, and given the recent NYSDOH guidance values limiting their concentrations in indoor air and soil vapors. Soil gas and the potential for soil vapor intrusion within proposed buildings was investigated across the site. As a precautionary measure to prevent potential human exposures from soil vapor intrusion, several sub slab depressurization systems were installed beneath the new buildings. These systems will be continually operated and annually certified as part of the separate but adjacent Parcel B final remedial measure. The remediation of the Parcel A site was completed in late 2005 and Certificate of Completion was issued in December 2005. The concentrations of constituents of concern underlying the existing and future buildings in the IRM area (Parcel A) were allowed to remain in place provided the building's concrete floors remain intact and a subfloor depressurization system is installed to vent soil gasses to the outside air. Based on low concentrations of Contaminants of Concern (COCs) in groundwater, no identified on-Site source on Parcel A, and absence of potential exposure pathway, i.e., not used a local drinking water source, no further investigation nor remediation of groundwater is warranted on Parcel A. The regional groundwater conditions and the concentrations of contaminants found beneath the Parcel A site, did not warrant groundwater to be considered a media of concern and did not require any deed restrictions or engineering controls. Soil gas and the potential for soil vapor intrusion within proposed buildings was investigated across the site. As a precautionary measure to prevent potential human exposures from soil vapor intrusion, several sub-slab depressurization systems were installed beneath the new buildings. Presumed future use of the site will remain a commercial and retail complex, these systems will be continually operated and annually certified as part of separate but adjacent Parcel B final remedial measure.

Site Health Assessment: The site remediation has been completed to Track 1 cleanup levels and is now open to the public. No source for soil vapor contamination was found on the Atlas Park Parcel-A site and the mitigation measures installed in the new on-site buildings are managed under the Parcel -B site management plan. The site is served by public water and no exposure to on-site groundwater is expected.

3.8 Atlas Park Site-Parcel B (DCP Site No. 1) Site Description: The Atlas Park Site-Parcel B (the Site) (Tax Block 3810, Lot 350) is an approximately 3.506 acre site located in an urban portion of Glendale, Queens County, New York. The address of the site is 8000 Cooper Avenue. Parcel A (C241045), which is contiguous with the Site, received a Certificate of Completion on December 31, 2005. The principal environmental history of the Site is related to the textile industry. There were industrial tenants present over the years, which were suspected to have contributed contamination to the Site. The surrounding parcels are currently used for a combination of commercial, light industrial and residential uses. As a point of reference, the Department accepted Atlas Park’s request that the property subject to the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement Index # W2-0984-04-02 be divided into two separate sites, with the portion of the property originally described as the IRM area designated as the Parcel A site subject to the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement, Index # W2-0984-04-02, and the portion of the property originally described as RI areas designated the Parcel B site subject to the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement, Index #W2-1070 -05-06, which effectively is the Atlas Park Site-Parcel B. An Environmental Easement was filed in the Queens County Clerk's office and the Certificate of Completion was issued on December 29, 2006. Annual periodic review report for 2009 was reviewed and approved.

Groundwater and soil vapor was contaminated primarily with PCE and TCE. Off-site soil vapor measurements of PCE and TCE have triggered the NYSDOH to require additional investigation proximal to the site and within residential structures south and northeast of the site. Localized pockets of solvent impacted soil were located beneath building 3, which was concluded to be a source of the observed PCE/TCE soil

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review vapor and groundwater plume. A break in the piping was observed where the highest PID readings were observed and VOC-impacted liquids had drained into the soil. Another source is believed to be located underneath Building 8. Exceedances of standards, criteria and guidance for soil include: total SVOCs (maximum: 340.1 mg/kg), total VOCs (maximum: 26.6 mg/kg); Total cPAHs (maximum: 70.8 mg/kg), and metals (including: arsenic maximum 32 mg/kg; barium maximum 1260 mg/kg; cadmium maximum 3.9; chromium maximum 42 mg/kg; copper maximum 870 mg/kg; lead maximum 1230 mg/kg; magnesium maximum 25,900 mg/kg; mercury maximum 2.6 mg/kg; nickel maximum 37 mg/kg; zinc maximum 2060 mg/kg) Exceedances of standards, criteria and guidance for groundwater include: PCE (maximum concentration of 329 ug/l), and TCE (maximum concentration of 23.4 ug/l). Exceedances for sub-slab soil vapor include: PCE (maximum concentration of 16,559.28 ug/m3) and TCE (maximum concentration of 1208.71 ug/m3) The NYSDEC and NYSDOH have declared that this site presents a significant threat to public health and/or the environment. The site remedy consists of site-wide composite cover of asphalt and concrete; subslab depressurization systems under all occupied site buildings and 2 off-site buildings; AS/SVE systems in two areas; monitored natural attenuation (MNA) for off-site groundwater; removal of selected soil hot spots; and implementation of Engineering Controls and Institutional Controls under a Site Management Plan (SMP).

Site Health Assessment: The site cleanup has been completed to Track 4 restricted commercial use criteria and is now open for public access. On-site groundwater and soil vapor contamination will be remediated by two Soil Vapor Extraction/Air Sparging systems operating full time. All buildings open for public access have had active sub-slab depressurization systems installed in them. The public is not expected to come in contact with any contamination remaining on-site since it is capped and managed with a site management plan. Public water supplies serve area residents from the New York City public water system.

3.9 Atlas Park Parcel C (DCP Site No. 1) Site Description: This BCP application pertained to the Atlas Park Parcel C property located at 82-00 Cooper Avenue, Glendale, Queens County. This site is approximately 6.812 acres in size. A small portion of the site is property that was not included in the adjacent completed BCP projects known as Atlas Park C241045 and Atlas Park - Parcel B C241088 has also been included in this application. Current use of this site is for commercial and industrial purposes. Future use of this site will be for commercial purposes. Historically the site was used as a mixed use manufacturing industrial park including oil distribution, fabric dying, steel fabrication, manufacturing of Citrate Magnesia, and plastics production. The BCP application states suspected contaminants at this site are petroleum, chlorinated solvents, other VOC's, SVOC's and metals. The application states these contaminants are impacting soil and potentially groundwater, and soil gas is also a concern. The initial data presented from a 2002 investigation by Metcalf and Eddy concluded there was no evidence of a chemical or petroleum spill, and contamination of SVOCs appeared to be related to historic ash/cinder fill. No groundwater investigation was conducted at that time. 28 samples were taken from soil borings in 28 locations during the 2002 investigation. Three of these samples exceeded Part 375 commercial soil cleanup objectives for individual PAHs. The investigation also found mercury and copper are present at low levels in a few samples at concentrations exceeding unrestricted soil use cleanup objective but below residential restricted use. In July 2008 the applicant submitted additional data from a more detailed investigation conducted in the spring of 2008. This investigation included 73 soil samples, 5 monitoring wells installed and sampled, 12 soil vapor samples, and 4 indoor air samples. (See attached tables) Soil samples exceeded Part 375 unrestricted levels for 25 contaminants, primarily SVOCs and metals. Soil samples exceeded Part 375 commercial levels for only 7 contaminants, and no sample exceeded Part 375 commercial levels by an order of magnitude. Groundwater was not impacted and there were some minor soil vapor impacts. The site had 29 tanks registered under the PBS program, all now closed, including 7 which exceeded 15,000 gallons. Two 20,000 tanks are recorded as existing since 1930. There have been no documented spills reports from these tanks. The 2002 soil boring investigation beneath 9 former and current tank locations indicted the presence of TPHC over 500 mg/kg in 3 of 12 locations, with a maximum concentration of 1866 ppm. This BCP application was initially denied due to insufficient evidence of site

3.10 Cornish Knit Goods/Cornish Mini-Malls (DCP Site No. 28) Site Description: The site is located at 121 Ingraham Street/89 Porter Ave., East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11237 (Block 2993, Lot 1). On site is a three story wood- frame industrial building built in 1926, and an adjacent wing which was added in 1956. The buildings are bordered by Porter Avenue to the west, by Ingraham Street to the south, by Joyva Candy Factory's parking lot to the east, and by Johnson Avenue to the north. The area is zoned M1-2, light manufacturing. There are also residential buildings in the neighborhood. The property was operated by Cornish Knit Goods/Cornish Mini Malls as a textile factory until 1980. After 1980, the building was illegally operated as a dry cleaning facility and as a stolen car scrap yard. In 2003, the investigation field work was completed and the RAWP was approved. A vapor barrier and an Air Sparge/Soil Vapor Extraction System (AS/SVES) were installed and are operating on site to remediate the PCE and TCE contamination plume in groundwater and soil vapor. Drums of dry cleaning solvent and two dry cleaning machines were disposed of off-site. The boiler room and a vaulted heating oil tank were also removed and the excavation backfilled with clean soil. The building has been renovated and is currently operated as a shelter and education center for homeless men. Remediation has been completed and the site in the Site Management phase.

Site Number on Figure 4-1 and in Table 4-1 of the Data Collection Plan: 28

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• Voluntary Cleanup Program Site Number V00406

Site Environmental Assessment: The site contamination consisted of the dry cleaning solvent tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and its breakdown products trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-1,2,-dichloroethene (c-1,2,-DCE), and vinyl chloride, as well as chromium in soil; PCE (13,000 ppb), TCE (620 ppb), DCE (310 ppb), and vinyl chloride (620 ppb) in groundwater and soil vapor. A 10,000 gal and a 5,000 gal heating oil tank were closed. The vault, the boiler room, and two soil hot spots have been excavated and disposed of off-site. A soil vapor barrier and an Air Sparge/Soil Vapor Extraction System (AS/SVES) have been installed under the first floor slab. The concentrations of PCE and TCE in groundwater have diminished since the remedial system has been operating. The operation of the

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review AS/SVE system continues. Quarterly reports are submitted to the Department and NYSDOH. The Site Management Plan (SMP) was approved and a Deed Restriction was recorded on April 13, 2010.

Site Health Assessment: Groundwater beneath the site is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily tetrachloroethene (PCE), at levels above NYS drinking water standards. There are no active public water supply wells within a one mile radius of the site and public exposure to contaminated groundwater is unlikely because all businesses and residences are supplied by public water. Exposure to contaminated soil is not expected since the site is covered by buildings and is paved. A vapor barrier and active soil vapor extraction system is at the site to prevent exposures from soil vapor intrusion.

3.11 Former Klink Cosmo Cleaners (DCP Site No. 101) Site Description: The site is located in a mixed residential/commercial/industrial area of the East Williamsburg section of Kings County (Borough of Brooklyn, New York City). The site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Vandervoort Avenue and Richardson Street. The site is completely covered by a one-story brick building. The site is currently occupied, and is utilized for light manufacturing. A small residential area is located one block downgradient (north) of the site. The site was historically operated by Klink Cosmo Cleaners from the mid-1950s until sometime around 1995. The Department began a Site Characterization in this area during the spring of 2007 as part of a plume trackdown investigation (Meeker Avenue Plume Trackdown, DEC Site ID #224121). This location was specifically targeted for investigation based on interviews with multiple residents indicating the site’s former usage as noted above (including one former employee), and the Phase 1 EDR report which lists the cleaners as a generator of F002 waste (spent halogenated solvents).

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• State Superfund Site Number 224130

Site Environmental Assessment: The primary contaminant of concern at the site is tetrachloroethene (PCE). PCE has been found on-site in shallow groundwater at concentrations up to 33,000 ppb. PCE has also been found at 310,000 ug/m3 in an on-site soil gas monitoring well. Groundwater standards have been exceeded for PCE. The plume of PCE-contaminated groundwater has migrated at least 1,200 feet downgradient of the site. Soil vapor with elevated levels of PCE has been found in sub-slab samples collected from the nearby downgradient residential area. The site poses a significant environmental threat due to ongoing release of PCE into soil and groundwater.

Site Health Assessment: Exposure to site-related contamination in drinking water and soil is unlikely since area homes and businesses are supplied with public water and contaminants are below the ground surface. Since the possibility exists for vapors from

3.12 Former NuHart Plastic Manufacturing (DCP Site No. 29) Site Description: The site is located in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn in a mixed industrial/commercial/ residential area. The approximately 1 acre site is described on the county tax map as Block No. 2487, Lots No. 1, 10, 12, 72 and 78. The dimensions of the site are approximately 240 feet by 200 feet. The building consists of a number of smaller buildings that have been joined together. A line of row houses is situated across the street to the south. Commercial buildings are situated directly across the street to the north. To the west is a park and to the northwest is a paved lot which is used for truck storage. The site has been in existence since 1887. It has been used for manufacturing, as an office, for storage, and for shipping and receiving. Prior to the late 1940s, the site and the surrounding lots were used as a boiler shop for Logan Ironworks, two stables, a gas and light fixture factory, a sheet metal works, a soap factory, a waterproofing factory, and a scrap metal facility. The subject property was developed for plastic manufacturing purposes in late 1940s to early 1950s and remain relatively unchanged since that time. From 1983 to 2004, NuHart and Company made vinyl siding and sheeting at the site. After 2004, NuHart removed all of their equipment and offices. The site is now used for the storage of plastic wrapping and many large (36 cu. ft.) fabric bags containing pellets of resin. There are 12 underground storage tanks located on the Site. According to records, these tanks were emptied and closed as part of an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM). There are also two large aboveground silos on site. The Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) number is 2-608875, and the Chemical Bulk Storage (CBS) number is 2-000444. Liquid plasticizers stored included bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, bis(2- ethylhexyl)adipate, and palatinol 711P phthalate.

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review sheeting at the factory. After manufacturing ceased in 2004, environmental investigations were performed. The investigations identified soil and groundwater contamination consisting of liquid plasticizers and petroleum. The amount of each material that was released is unknown. Soil concentrations as high as 20,000 ppm of bis(2- ethylhexyl)phthalate were detected in soil boring SB-44. Non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was found at thicknesses of up to 5 feet in one well. According to the Interim Investigation Report dated April 2010, a large plume of plasticizer NAPL mixture consisting of phthalates and paraffinic petroleum was identified under the western end of the factory where the plasticizer USTs were located. A small plume of NAPL consisting primarily of phthalate was identified beneath Lot 12 near one of the plasticizer tanks. The large plume has migrated off-site in a northwesterly direction under the sidewalk. Previous interim remedial measures (IRMs) implemented under the spill program involved cleaning the floors of the factory, cleaning out the USTs, cleaning all sumps and pipe gallery wells, installing monitoring wells, and installing NAPL collection wells and recovery equipment. NAPL recovery has been ongoing since 2007. As of December 2008, the total NAPL recovered was 8,356 gallon. The most recent gauging data (April 2010) indicates the thickness of the NAPL ranges from 0.15 feet to 4.87 feet.

Site Health Assessment: It is unlikely that people will drink contaminated groundwater since the area is provided with public water. It is also unlikely that area residents will come in contact with contaminated soil since it is under the ground surface, however, if the site is redeveloped, construction workers or future site occupants may come in contact with site related contamination in soil if it is not handled properly. Also, the potential for nearby residents and building occupants to breathe site-related contaminants that may migrate into nearby structures via soil vapor intrusion needs to be evaluated.

3.14 Former W.L.K. Corp. (DCP Site No. 30) Site Description: The Former W.L.K. Corp. Site (58-30 57th St.) is located near the intersection of Grand Avenue and 57th Street in Queens County. The site is identified on the Queens Business Borough Tax Map as Block 2610, Lots 412 and 440 and is approximately 2.01 acres in size. The site is bordered on the north by MTA/LIRR rail lines, on the south by Grand Avenue, on the east by 57th Street, and on the west by a property owned by Start 56-19 Grand Holding LLC. The site is mostly paved, with a small area overgrown with vegetation (former railroad spur) present adjacent to the western portion of the building. The northern portion of the site has historically been used by a radiator distribution facility (1930s-1940s), a steel pipe distributor (1950s- early 1970s), corrugated box company (early 1980s), a beer distributing company (mid/late 1980s), and a recycling facility (early 1990s - early 2000s). The southern portion of the site is currently occupied by offices and has been used for several businesses. A lubricating oils company occupied this portion of the site at least from 1936 into the 1970s. Over the years other occupants included an oil company sales office, a milk products company, and an engineering firm. Also, a filling station was located on the site at the corner of Grand Avenue and 57th Street from early 1930s to early 1970s. The site is currently used as a lumber yard with some offices. The surrounding parcels are currently used for a combination of commercial, light industrial, and transportation. The closest residential area is directly across 57th Street. The regional groundwater flow direction is generally to the southwest. Previous investigations in the area, by a third party, revealed high concentrations of chlorinated solvents (specifically TCE, 1,1,1-TCA, and 1,2-DCE) in the groundwater at the northwestern portion of the site. Based upon groundwater samples results, the groundwater contamination is decreasing southward beneath the adjacent property. The groundwater contamination detected at the site indicates a source area around the loading dock located at the northern end of the site main building and/or an alley (former railroad spur) between the western property fence line and the building. A site characterization was completed and it was determined that the need exists for a full remedial investigation. As of this update, the Department entered into an Order dated 2/11/10.

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• State Superfund Site Number 241097

Site Environmental Assessment: The primary contaminants of concern detected in the Spring/Summer 2007 included Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (TCA) and their respective breakdown products. Exceedances of standards, criteria, and guidance in the on-site soils include TCE (max. 31 ppm), 1,1,1-TCA (1.1 ppm), PCE (max. 2.6 ppm), and total 1,2-DCE (max. 46.2 ppm). Exceedances of standards, criteria, and guidance in the groundwater include 1,1,1- TCA (max. 16 ppb), TCE (max. 710 ppb), PCE (max. 47 ppb), and total 1,2-DCE (max. 548 ppb). Samples taken off-site, adjacent to the former railroad spur area, revealed exceedances in the groundwater of 1,1,1-TCA (max. 71,000 ppb), TCE (360,000 ppb) and 1,2-DCE (max. 42,000 ppb). The site presents a significant threat to the environment due to the elevated soil and groundwater concentrations.

Site Health Assessment: Further investigation is needed to assess the nature and extent of site-related contamination and the potential for exposure to site contaminants. The site currently has several buildings and a paved parking lot, therefore, contact with subsurface contamination is unlikely. Exposure to site-related contaminants in drinking water is not expected because the area is served by public water. NYSDOH and NYSDEC will evaluate the need for additional investigations to determine the potential for soil vapor intrusion to occur.

3.15 Frito Lay (DCP Site No. 31) Site Description: The site is located at 202-218 Morgan Avenue, an urban area, in the north end of the Borough of Brooklyn, Kings County. The site is currently undeveloped with no standing structures and is zoned for industrial use. The site property is approximately 2.791 acres in size and approximately 2 miles east of East River. To the north of the property is a warehouse, to the east and south is English Kills tributary to the Newtown Creek and to the west it is bordered by Morgan Avenue, between Ten Eyck Street and Stagg Street. The surrounding parcels are currently used for a combination of commercial and industrial. The site was previously used as a scrap metal yard. Activities related to this type of business and the fact that the site consist mostly of fill material are believed to be the cause of the site wide PCB and metals contamination. The site remedial program is being performed by Frito- Lay, Inc. as a volunteer in the DEC's Brownfield Cleanup Program. As of this update, completed investigations include a phase I preliminary site assessment (2006) and Phase II Environmental Assessment (2007). The site owner was accepted to the Brownfield Program and a site investigation has been completed. A Remedial Work Plan is under review.

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• Brownfield Cleanup Program Site Number C224133 • Petroleum Bulk Storage # 2-600093

Site Environmental Assessment: Based upon investigations conducted to date, the contaminants at the site known at this time include: chlorinated VOCs; SVOCs, metals and PCBs. The predominant VOCs consist of: cis-1,2-dichloroethene; vinyl chloride and tetrachloroethene. Tetrachloroethene is found in soil at concentrations as high as 140 ppm at SB-11, located at the center of the site, which exceed the soil SCO for unrestricted use of 1.3 ppm. The predominant SVOCs are the carcinogenic PAHs: benzo(a)anthracene; benzo(a)pyrene; benzo(b)fluoranthene; benzo(k) fluoranthene; chrysene; dibenzo(a,h)anthracene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene. These PAHs are found consistently throughout the site from the surface to a depth of 11ft at concentrations as high as 110 ppm. PCBs and metals appear to be the primary contaminants of concern. These

Data Collection Plan October 2011 Newtown Creek RI/FS 142 110782.01-01

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review contaminants are found throughout the surface and subsurface soils of the entire site. Maximum concentration of PCB's detected in soil was 3,200 ppm which greatly exceeds the soil cleanup objective (SCO) for unrestricted use (0.1 ppm). The metals that exceed SCGs are: arsenic (up to 168 ppm, unrestricted SCO 13 ppm); barium (up to 1,980 ppm, unrestricted SCO 350 ppm); chromium (up to 1,610 ppm, unrestricted SCO 30 ppm); cadmium (up to 60.8 ppm, unrestricted SCO 2.5 ppm); copper (up to 14,000 ppm, unrestricted SCO 50 ppm); lead (up to 110,000 ppm, unrestricted SCO 63 ppm); mercury (up to 15.1 ppm, unrestricted SCO 0.18 ppm); nickel (up to 933 ppm, unrestricted SCO 30 ppm) and zinc (up to 43,800 ppm, unrestricted SCO 109 ppm). These metals are found throughout the site from the surface to a depth of 11 feet. Greater concentrations predominately exist at the southern portion of the site. Groundwater data indicates vinyl chloride, cis-1,2-dichloroethene and arsenic are above Class GA groundwater standards. Vinyl chloride was found above the groundwater standard of 2 ppb in monitoring well MW-2 in the southwest corner of the site at a concentration of 42 ppb. Vinyl chloride and cis-1,2-dichloroethene are breakdown products of PCE and TCE. While chlorinated VOCs (primarily PCE) have been found in site soil, data suggests that CVOCs found in onsite groundwater (DCE/VC) may be attributable to a potential off-site source. Arsenic concentrations in groundwater are 42.9 ppb and 74.6 ppb at monitoring wells MW-3 and MW -4 which exceed the groundwater standard of 25 ppb. The site is approximately 13 feet above mean sea level. Depth to groundwater is approximately 11 to 15 feet below ground surface. The nearest water body is the English Kills tributary to the Newtown Creek, which is adjacent to the east and south sides of the site. Groundwater flow is to the southeast. The site consists of fill material to the water table. Below the fill material the site is underlain by unconsolidated cretaceous to quaternary age sand and gravel deposits that comprise Long Island groundwater system. The site presents a significant environmental threat due to the ongoing release of arsenic contamination from source areas in the soil to groundwater as well as the high levels of PCBS and metals such as lead and mercury in soil throughout most of the site. More information regarding the site can be found in the documents placed in the site document repository.

Site Health Assessment: Contact with contaminants in on-site surface soil is not expected since the site is completely fenced and monitored. Exposure to site-related contamination in drinking water is not expected since the area is served by municipal water. Since the

3.16 Maspeth Project (DCP Site No. 35) Site Description: The Maspeth Railroad Place site is located in an industrialized area of Queens County, New York. The site is approximately 3-acres in size, and can be found at 57-15 49th Street. The main site features include a fenced lot which constitutes the majority of the site. There are no permanent structures on the lot. The headwaters of Maspeth Creek are located approximately 100 hundred feet from the site. The site is currently vacant, though there is evidence of some trespassing. The site is surrounded by industrial/commercial properties on all sides. The site has had several industrial/commercial uses over the years, but is reported to have been most recently the site of a bus maintenance facility. A former chemicals blending operation was located immediately adjacent to the site, and there was some concern that wastes from that operation could have contaminated the site. The Remedial Investigation is complete, and the alternatives analysis has been submitted in draft form. In the spring and summer of 2008, the City of New York performed an Interim Remedial Measure by removing a 20,000 gallon storage tank which was found during the site investigation. The NYSDEC is currently involved in negotiations with a neighboring land owner regarding the cleanup of petroleum believed to be emanating from their property onto the Maspeth property. Resolution of the negotiations is expected in the fall of 2010.

Regulatory Numbers/Codes:

• Voluntary Cleanup Program Site Number V00326 • RCRA NYR000089441 • Spill Numbers 96-14406, 304106

Site Environmental Assessment: Investigations conducted at the site revealed the presence of petroleum (transformer oil) contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in both soil and groundwater. Residual PCB-containing free-phase product was detected in groundwater (approximately 15 to 17 feet below grade). Laboratory analytical data reports the maximum concentration of PCBs (Aroclor 1260) at 328 ppm. An Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) consisting of excavation and removal of PCB-contaminated surface soil took place prior to the sale of the property in 1996. An additional IRM consisting of removal of PCB-contaminated oil from monitoring wells on site began in October 1999 and continued through 2003. Con Edison (the Volunteer) submitted and the Department approved a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP) which involves excavation and removal of contaminated soil and groundwater to a depth of up to 30 feet below grade. Implementation of the RAWP began in March 2005. As of this update the on-site soil removal has been completed. In addition, limited excavations have been completed on off-site properties along the north boundary of the site to remove small

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review areas of soil contamination. The Volunteer is preparing FER to be submitted to the Department for review.

Site Health Assessment: Contaminated soil has been excavated and disposed of off-site and remaining contaminated soil lies at depth. The site is completely fenced-off; therefore, human exposure to soil is unlikely. Exposure to groundwater is unlikely since the area is served by public water. Additional investigations are being performed to determine the potential for off-site impacts.

3.18 Levco Metals Property (DCP Site No. 131) Site Description: The Levco Metals Finishers property is located in an industrial area of Long Island City. The entire site is occupied by a one story building which covers approximately 21,900 sq.ft. Levco was a metal finishing facility which conducted metal stripping, etching, and plating processes for over 30 years. Company operations ceased with the death of the owner, in November 1990. The site was first investigated in 1987. Elevated levels of 1,1,2-trichloroethylene (TCE) were found in the groundwater, along with various breakdown products. The round of sampling, conducted in 1992, indicated higher amounts of TCE in the groundwater and soil around a floor sump located in the eastern portion of the building. An Interim Remedial Measure (IRM) consisting of the removal of 13.5 cubic yards of contaminated soil from within and beneath the sump took place in October 1994. Following the IRM, the supplemental site investigation was performed in November 1994. It showed that soil on site was remediated to the levels of the soil cleanup objectives, except for insignificant exceedances in a former sump area. The primary source of groundwater contamination, being the soil beneath the sump, has been removed. In April 1995, additional groundwater monitoring was conducted. It confirmed the expected reduction of VOC concentrations in groundwater in the sump area and in downgradient wells. In March 1996, the Record of Decision (ROD) was executed, which recommended delisting of the site from the Registry. The site has been delisted from the Registry in May 1996. The ROD also recommended additional groundwater monitoring on a semi-annual basis. From 1996 to 2001, several rounds of groundwater monitoring have been conducted and showed that the contaminant levels in the groundwater beneath the site have not declined to acceptable levels. To address remaining contamination in the groundwater, the Site owner entered into the Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with NYSDEC in 2002 and designed Remedial Action Work Plan to remove remaining contaminants. This additional remedy has commenced in 2005 and is ongoing. See also site V00600. In late 2008 a State Superfund project was initiated to address offsite contamination.

Site Environmental Assessment: IRMs achieved the main remedial goals of the removal of hazardous waste in the former sump area and the cleanup of on-site soil to levels protective of the public health and the environment. Additional remedial action commenced in 2005 which is intended to address residual contaminants in the groundwater. An off-site vapor investigation is required to determine if off-site remedial measures are required. Site Contamination Soil: Prior to IRM: elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds (e.g., 2 ppm trichloroethane; 3.5 ppm trichloroethene) and metals (e.g. 21.2 ppm cadmium; 12 ppm chromium) were detected in the soil beneath the sump area. Contaminated soil from this area was excavated and disposed off site in October 1994. Groundwater and soil gas: On-Site groundwater is contaminated as a result of disposal activities. Predominant contaminants above Class GA groundwater standards are trichloroethene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and cis-1,2-dichloroethene.

Site Health Assessment: Soil and groundwater are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Exposure to contaminated groundwater is not expected since the area is served by public water. Contaminated soil is subsurface, therefore exposure is unlikely. A soil vapor extraction system is in place on-site to remediate VOCs in soil and soil vapor. Therefore, inhalation exposure via soil vapor exposure has been minimized. Additional data is needed to evaluate the potential for off-site exposure due to soil vapor intrusion.

The site had formerly been used for chemical manufacturing. From 1901-1978, West Chemical Co. owned the property and manufactured commercial and disinfectant products such as disinfectants, insecticides, soaps, floor wax, and paper products dispensing machines. Manufacturing operations employed various chemical substances including creosote, coal and acids, cresylic acids, degreasing solvents, iodine, and assorted oils and pesticides. Metal plating and gasoline filling operations were also conducted at the property. In 11/78, Outlet City acquired title to the property from West Chemical. During Outlet City's ownership, a flea market and various vendor operations have been conducted at the property. The property is currently used primarily as offices and a warehouse for a chain of retail stores. The site is being investigated under the Voluntary Cleanup Program. An underground storage tank, which had contained gasoline, was removed in 2003 as an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM). A ventilation system was designed and installed in 2004, as an IRM. The ventilation system was started up on June 8, 2004. The final engineering report for this IRM was approved in September 2006. The revised Additional Investigation Work Plan was approved in December 2005. A revised draft Remedial Investigation Report was submitted in April 2007. In 2007, part of this site was approved for the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP). The Site number for this site is C241105 (Queens Plaza). An IRM work plan for the upgrade of the Bldg. 4 sump was approved. Construction hasn't begun yet (April 2010). An IRM work plan for free product removal in Areas D&E was submitted to the Dept. and rejected. A new plan has been developed and is being reviewed by the Department. This new work plan proposes SISCO. A draft RI report has been submitted and commented on several times. Currently the Dept. is waiting for a revised RI. (April 2010).

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review Site Environmental Assessment: The site is contaminated with creosote, petroleum, and solvents. Both soil and groundwater are affected. A ventilation IRM is in place in the basement of building No. 4, a low point of the site and where creosote presence is most noticeable.

Site Health Assessment: Exposures to contaminated groundwater is not expected because the area is served by public water. Soils contaminated with tetrachloroethene are beneath the site, however, exposure to this soil is not expected because the site is capped with asphalt. Indoor air samples collected in a portion of the on-site building contained levels of tetrachloroethene that exceeded the New York State Department of Health Guideline for tetrachloroethene in Indoor Air. NYSDOH and NYSDEC will evaluate the need for additional investigations to determine the potential for soil vapor intrusion into structures near the site.

3.20 Popular Hand Laundry (DCP Site No. 38) Site Description: The site is located at 88 Ingraham Street in Brooklyn, NY. It consists of a two story building with an adjoining garage. The building comprises approximately 11,000 sq ft. and occupies almost the entire site. Since 1933 the building has been used for skein dying, dry cleaning and laundry operations. The site was acquired by Popular Hand Laundry (circa 1970) which operated dry cleaning services. Prior to 1970, a dry cleaning and laundry facility was operated by Klink. The site is currently used as for storage and restoration of antique furniture and artwork. The surrounding area is industrial. The site remedial program is being performed by 88 Ingraham Realty Corp. and Popular Hand Laundry and Cleaners of Richmond Hill, Inc. under the DEC's Voluntary Cleanup Program. An investigation was completed in 1997 and the remedial action work plan was approved in 1998. Remedial action began in 2001. An air sparge/soil vapor extraction system (AS/SVES) was operating from 2001 to early 2007. Additional soil vapor, soil and groundwater samples were collected during 2005 to 2006. The results of those samples indicate that the AS/SVES required modification. During 2008, a pilot test was completed at the site to obtain design parameters for the new AS/SVES to address the contamination identified at the site. The new AS/SVE system design was approved and installation of the AS/SVES is complete. System start up is expected in January 2010.

Site Environmental Assessment: The contaminants of concern are perchlorethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloroethylene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC) in the groundwater, soil and soil vapor. Investigations conducted at the site between 1997 and 2006 included the collection of soil vapor samples, indoor air samples, subsurface soil and groundwater samples. These investigations have found: PCE was found in shallow soil (0 to 6 feet) with maximum concentration of 9.5 ppm, 19.4 ppm, 5.7 ppm, and 11 ppm; PCE, TCE, DCE and VC were found in groundwater samples above groundwater standard with maximum concentrations of 550 ppb for PCE, 470 ppb for TCE, 5500 ppb for DCE, and 440 ppb for VC; PCE, TCE, DCE, and VC were found in soil vapor samples at maximum

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review concentrations of 6104 ug/m3 for PCE, 2526 ug/m3 for TCE, 2260 ug/m3 for DCE, and 46 ug/m3 for VC; Sub-slab vapor samples indicate that elevated chlorinated solvent and petroleum products are present; PCE concentration was detected at maximum concentrations of 572,000 ug/m3, TCE at 45,200 ug/m3, and total petroleum VOCs at 15,765 ug/m3.

Site Health Assessment: The area is served by public water; therefore, exposure to contaminated groundwater is unlikely. One goal of the soil vapor extraction (SVE) well operating on-site is to prevent vapors from migrating into the building; however, the potential for off-site migration of soil vapors needs to be evaluated.

3.21 Quanta Resources (DCP Site No. 39) Site Description: The Quanta Resources Site is an approximately 1.8 acre parcel located at 37-80 Review Avenue, within a highly industrialized area of Long Island City, Queens, New York. Zoning in this area is designated as heavy manufacturing. The site is bounded on the northeast by Review Avenue and on the southwest by the Southern Line of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). On the northwest it is bounded by an alley (Preston Street) that runs from Review Avenue to the LIRR tracks. On the southeast it is bounded by the property currently owned by Phoenix Beverages (an imported beer distributor). Farther to the northeast, across Review Avenue, is Calvary Cemetery. Farther to the northwest, across the alley, is the North Capasso property, also referred to as Review Avenue Development I (RADI). Farther to the southwest, across the LIRR tracks, is the South Capasso property. Newtown Creek lies beyond the South Capasso property farther to the southeast approximately 450 feet from the site. Fencing bounds the property on all sides. A Consent Order was signed with numerous PRPs in May 2002 for the undertaking of investigation and remediation activities. An RI/FS was completed. Soil and groundwater contamination has been confirmed. The primary contaminants of concern include petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, PCBs, heavy metals and PAHs. Measurable LNAPL was found in 24 of 29 onsite and offsite monitoring wells. The Site was accepted into BCP. The BCA agreement was executed on 12/2/05 (see C241005). A PRAP was issued in June 2006. A PRAP Public Meeting was held on June 28, 2006 and the public comment period closed on August 3, 2006. The ROD was signed 2/9/07 requiring a $15,560,000 remedy which includes an LNAPL recovery system. Remedial Design is underway. The Quanta Resources property and surrounding properties have been used for a variety of industrial purposes since the late 19th century. A Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from 1898 indicates that the site was partially occupied by vacant and dilapidated brick wrecks of an oil refinery. Available information indicates the earliest recorded actual owner of the property was American Agricultural Chemical Company. In 1931 the property was transferred to Triplex Oil. Triplex Oil used the property for refining of used crank case oil for approximately 40 years. From 1972 until 1980 the facility was operated by several different owners including Pentalic Corporation, Sea Lion Corporation, Ag-met Oil Service, Inc., Hudson Oil Refining Corp., and Portland Holding Corp. In 1980 Quanta Resources acquired the property, and used the property for the rerefining of used crankcase oil and other liquid recycling before filing for bankruptcy on

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review October 6, 1981. The site has been inactive since being abandoned in November 1981. Tanks and several buildings remain on site. A number of potential LNAPL source areas existed on the Quanta Resources Site throughout its operational history, however, the primary suspected source area is the tank farm area located in the northeastern portion of the site. A New York City emergency remedial action removed approximately 640,000 gallons of waste oil from the property. Some of the waste oil contained tetrachloroethene, methyl chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethene. Sludge, waste oil, and diesel fuel, all contaminated with PCBs, were also removed from badly deteriorated leaking tanks and drums. As part of NYSDEC's Phase II Investigation, three on-site groundwater monitoring wells were installed. During installation it was discovered that there was a seven foot layer of oil lying above the groundwater table. A Consent Order was signed with numerous PRPs in May 2002 for the undertaking of investigation and remediation activities. An RI/FS was completed. Soil and groundwater contamination has been confirmed. The Site was accepted into BCP. The BCA agreement was executed on 12/2/05 (see C241005). A PRAP was issued in June 2006. A PRAP Public Meeting was held on June 28, 2006 and the public comment period closed on August 3, 2006. The ROD was signed 2/9/07 requiring a $15,560,000 remedy which includes an LNAPL recovery system. See Site Code C24100 for post ROD updates.

Site Health Assessment: Waste oil previously stored on-site has caused widespread contamination of groundwater and soils. Approximately 500,000 gallons of contaminated waste oil remains at the site, floating on the water table. The aquifer of concern is not used as a source for drinking water. Groundwater wells in this area of Queens are used only for commercial and industrial purposes. A fence surrounds the site restricting access and minimizing the potential for direct contact exposures to on-site contaminates. The potential exists for the floating oil plume to migrate into the nearby Newtown Creek which empties into the East River. Further investigation is required.

3.22 Queens West (Hunter’s Point) Center Boulevard (DCP Site No. 133) Site Description: This Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) site covers the portion of Center Blvd between 47th Road and 48th Avenue, which is the portion between Queens West Development Parcels 8 and 9. The site is currently covered with asphalt and in use as a City street. Historically, Parcel 8 (to the West) housed industrial operations and was occupied by the Warren Chemical Co. until 1915, which produced roofing materials, tar paper and asphalt. Pumps, tanks, condensers, dryers, steam stills, and stacked drums associated with the production of these products are known to have been used on Site. Following Warren, the Site was used by the Liquid Carbonic Company, which produced liquefied carbon dioxide for soda fountains, from the 1930s until the 1950s. In 1970 the Site was occupied by a metal storage warehouse. Hallen Contractors occupied the Site from the 1970s until the Site was vacated in 2001. Parcel 9, adjacent to the east, has been occupied by varnish and paint manufacturers on the eastern portion of Parcel 9, and a variety of manufacturing uses on the western portion, including the Blau Gas Company, an asphalt company, the Harlem Chemical Co., a plumbing supply manufacturer, a refrigeration equipment manufacturer, a barrel manufacturer, and an auto repair shop. Parcel 8 is currently in the Brownfield Cleanup Program (C241087) and Parcel 9 (C241049) is completely remediated for restricted residential use. A Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP) for Center Blvd was approved in August 1998 and proposed excavation of site soils with elevated levels of mercury in the area around monitoring well B/MW-8A, which was identified as a "hot spot" during the Remedial Investigation. Remedial work was performed in 2001 and consisted of hot spot excavation in two stages. During the first stage, approximately 320 cubic yards of soil was excavated and disposed off-site. A second excavation resulted in excavation and disposal of an additional 20 cubic yards of soil. End-point soil samples confirmed that remedial objectives had been met for mercury. However, elevated levels of PAHs, particularly naphthalene, prompted NYSDEC to request additional excavation, which was performed in March and April 2001. End-point samples showed that naphthalene was within TAGM RSCOs in the sidewall samples, but elevated in the bottom samples. Target PAHs in all end-point samples were below hazardous levels. Additional investigation in Center Blvd was performed as part of off-site investigations of Parcel 9 in 2006 and with Parcel 8 in 2009. Identified contaminants of concern include benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) including naphthalene, chrysene,

A supplemental RAWP was prepared to address residual petroleum contamination and Center Blvd remediation will be addressed at the same time as Parcel 8. The public comment period for the Center Blvd RAWP ended on September 30, 2010. The RAWP was approved on November 23, 2010.

Site Environmental Assessment: The site-specific contaminants of concern consist of coal tar-derived dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL), as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), all related to the former uses on the site,. Based on site history, field observations and analytical results, coal tar/creosote-like material leaked from operational areas of the former Warren Chemical facility. The contaminant distribution suggests that the release history was one of continual leaks to the subsurface above the water table from processing units and piping, or possibly shallow trenches. The bulk of the contamination is near the former operational foot prints on the southwest and west central part of Parcel 8 (C241087) and in portions of Center Boulevard. This area also corresponds to where NAPL thickness is greatest. Most of the contaminant mass is from near the water table to 24 feet-bg. Some DNAPL did reach the till layer at approximately 30+ ft-bg. All of the DNAPL is residual, and no free-phase DNAPL was found. Numerous attempts to gauge DNAPL accumulation in wells failed to identify measurable free-phase NAPL. Along the eastern side of Parcel 8 and in Center Boulevard, groundwater flows east toward Center Boulevard, and southward in Center Boulevard due to the local influence of steel sheeting and subsurface utilities running the length of Center Boulevard. Dissolved VOC concentrations are on average almost two times greater in the deep wells than in shallow wells. The highest VOC concentrations are in groundwater are near the southwest side of Parcel 8. Dissolved naphthalene concentrations are slightly higher, on average, in the deep wells and naphthalene is approximately two times greater on average in the wells in Center Boulevard than on Parcel 8. The dissolved concentrations of benzene, the most mobile VOC, appear most elevated near the greatest concentrations of contaminant mass and

Work in Progress Site Summaries – Historical Data Review drop off significantly from these areas after a short distance. Tidal influences, while measurable, do not appear to influence groundwater flow in a way that would affect contaminant transport. Benzene was not detected in any surface water sample or in sediment samples.

Site Health Assessment: Public water is provided to the area, thereby preventing exposures to groundwater. Most contaminated soil has been removed from the site. Cover material or site buildings will prevent direct contact with any residual contamination. The on-site building will include a sub-slab depressurization system to prevent vapor intrusion into the building.

Parcel 11 is an approximately 0.45-acre area, which is part of the larger Queens West Development - Stage I Site. Parcel 11 is bounded by 49th Avenue to the north, 50th Avenue to the south, residential/commercial properties to the east, and Center Boulevard to the west. Surrounding land use consists of a high-rise residential building and public elementary school to the north, the Queens West waterfront park and East River to the west, a tennis club to the southwest, and the former Schwartz Chemical building site (currently being redeveloped with condominiums) to the southeast. The buildings immediately east of the Site are not part of the Queens West Development and are occupied by a mix of light industrial, commercial, and residential uses. The East River is located roughly 400 feet west of the Site. Historically, the Site was occupied by freight yards for the Long Island Railroad, a Hardwood Sawdust Supply Company, and later a variety of warehouse and light industrial uses, including a building equipment manufacturer. Historic uses of surrounding properties include: a varnish manufacturing facility (Keystone Varnish Company) and a vegetable oil refinery (Crown Oil Products Company) to the east; a coal-fired power generating facility and later Schwartz Chemical company (manufacturer of pigments and dyes) to the southeast; railroad tracks and freight yard facilities to the north (Parcel 10), west (Waterfront park area) and southwest, and a variety of manufacturing facilities further to the north (Parcels 8 and 9), including the Warren Chemical Company (manufacturer of roofing materials, tar paper and asphalt) and the Blau Gas Company (manufactured gas from petroleum products). Development on Parcel 11 includes a high-rise residential building with ground level retail on the southern portion of the Site (remedial work and building slab completed May 2003), and a second residential building, containing federally-subsidized housing for the elderly, on the northern portion of the Site. The residential buildings were constructed on-grade with no basements or other subsurface spaces, other than utility connections, elevator pits, and transformer vaults. Development of the Site is complete. The Final Engineering Report and Site Management Plan were approved in March 2008 for Track 4 - restricted residential use. No Further Action has been granted, and a Release and Covenant Not To Sue was issued in March 2008. A deed restriction is in place.
