Health Assessment for Old Bethpage Landfill (the 'Landfill') National Priority List (NPL) Site, Old Bethpage, Town of Oyster Bay, Long Island, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD980531727

摘要

The Old Bethpage Landfill National Priority List site is located in Old Bethpage, Town of Oyster Bay, Long Island. The primary contaminants of concern at the site are a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A methane gas collection system was installed with the intention of preventing any further off-site migration of landfill gas. Partial landfill capping provides some interim remediation for groundwater contaminant migration. In addition to these remedial activities, the Record of Decision calls for pumping of the contaminated groundwater through a system of recovery wells, capping the remainder of the landfill with a clay cover to significantly reduce leaching of contaminated groundwater, establishing a water treatment system, and disposing of the treated water.
