PUBLIC NOTICE State Superfund Program PUBLIC NOTICE State Superfund Program Receive Site Information by Email. See next page to Learn How. Site Name: 64th Street Storage Yard July 2018 Site No. 241106 Tax Map No. 4-1185-20 Site Location: 33-32 64th Street, Woodside, NY 11377 State Superfund Site Classification Notice The Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Program (the State Superfund Program) is the State's program for identifying, investigating, and cleaning up sites where the disposal of hazardous waste may present a threat to public health and/or the environment. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) maintains a list of these sites in the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites (Registry). The site identified above, and located on a map on the reverse side of this page, has been added to the Registry as a Class 2 site that presents a significant threat to public health and/or the environment for the following reason(s): Previous operations at the site have resulted in chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOC) contamination of soil, groundwater, and soil vapor at levels exceeding applicable standards, criteria and guidance values. VOC contamination has also been detected in soil vapor off site and in groundwater downgradient from the site. There is a potential for people to be exposed to site-related contamination via direct contact with soil and groundwater and there is also a potential for exposure resulting from soil vapor intrusion. When the site was in the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) under BCP Project 64th Street (C241106), the site was determined to represent a significant threat to public health and the environment. The site has since been terminated from the BCP and remedial actions under the Superfund program are needed to address the potential for exposure to site-related contaminants. DEC will keep you informed throughout the investigation and cleanup of the site. If you own property adjacent to this site and are renting or leasing your property to someone else, please share this information with them. If you no longer wish to be on the contact list for this site or otherwise need to correct our records, please contact DEC’s Project Manager listed below.

Community outreach is the cornerstone of the Kosciuszko Bridge Project, and we would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide.
