Additional Property Attributes

The site was reportedly first developed in the 1930s and has been used for industrial usage, including iron and steel wholesaling, a machine shop, and zinc galvanizing. The site has been vacant since 1994. A previously performed Phase I indicated that storage tanks on the site historically contained sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sodium hydroxide, zinc ammonium chloride, molten zinc and fuel oil. Previous investigations and cleanup operations were performed by New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) and EPA between 1988 and 2000. Remedial efforts, including stabilization and securing of vats, sumps, drums and other containers (including off-site disposal of numerous drums and other containers) was performed. Environmental consultants also identified vent/fill pipes and the possible locations of suspect underground storage tanks (USTs). Large amounts of solid waste were also present and suspected asbestos containing materials were noted by at the site. The City of New York does not currently own or have access rights to the site. An off-site investigation was therefore performed in the adjacent sidewalks as the closest representation to assess on-site groundwater condition and the potential of any off-site contamination migration.

Former Use: Due to decades of industrial foundry operations at the site and the improper storage and disposal of chemicals EPA has already engaged in two operations in the 1990's to remove improperly secured and stored drums of chemical waste from the site, combined with the fact that the floor of the foundry was not covered, but simply a dirt floor, the soil at the site is likely very contaminated and in need of remediation.
