Additional Property Attributes

The Property is located just west of the Village of Macedon, Wayne County, New York, at tax parcel ID
number 62111-00-212778. The Property is approximately 5 acres in size and located in a 60-acre
industrial park known as The Commons. The Property is occupied by a one-story, 35,000 square-foot,
brick and steel structure built in 1975 and previously used for manufacturing industrial machines. The
remainder of the Property is a combination of pavement and grass areas. The Property was vacant and
unoccupied at the time of the site reconnaissance. Access to the Property and interior of the subject
building was not provided during the site reconnaissance given an uncooperative owner and their tax
delinquency. As a result, the interior of the building was not inspected. The surrounding parcels to the
north, south, and west are used for a combination of light industrial and commercial, and to the east is
used for agricultural purposes (farmed field).
According to historical records, Rando Machine Corporation (Rando) manufactured and assembled
industrial machines on the Property from approximately 1975 through September 2019. The machines
were cleaned, painted, packaged, and shipped from the facility. The cleaning and painting process
utilized the chlorinated solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), a volatile organic compound (VOC). Between
the time that operations began and the mid-1980s, floor drains from the TCA storage area reportedly
drained into a buried container, called a dry crock, located immediately outside the northeast corner of the
building, as shown on Figure 2.
The Village of Macedon operated a well field as a source of public water approximately 0.25 miles north
northeast of the Property. Analytical results from a New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)
sampling event conducted in 1986 at the Village of Macedon municipal water supply Well #2 detected
TCA contamination. A preliminary investigation conducted by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) in 1987 identified Rando as a potentially responsible party for the
impacts in the municipal water supply with the dry crock as the likely source of the TCA contamination. In
1988, Rando conducted a soil vapor survey and concluded that the VOC groundwater plume extended
beyond the Property's eastern boundary towards the Village of Macedon wellfield.
In 1989, Rando conducted a subsurface investigation (SSI) consisting of the installation of groundwater
monitoring wells. The results of this investigation confirmed that the dry crock was the source of the TCA
contamination. Additional VOCs, including 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-
DCE) were also detected in groundwater near the dry crock. As a result, Rando conducted a voluntary source removal (soil excavation) under NYSDEC observation in 1989. Post excavation soil sampling from
the source area did not indicate residual soil contamination.
Remedial investigation (RI) activities were conducted at the Property from 1991 through 1993. A
Feasibility Study (FS) was also completed and approved, and a Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP)
was issued by the NYSDEC in 1995. Based on the Village of Macedon decision to permanently
discontinue the use of groundwater for a source of public water, Rando submitted an FS Addendum in
1996. The NYSDEC completed additional groundwater sampling in January 1997 which showed
groundwater contaminant levels had decreased. A Record of Decision (ROD) was subsequently issued
by NYSDEC in March 1998.
The NYSDEC selected no further action as the remedy for the Property as presented in the 1998 ROD.
As part of the no further action alternative, periodic groundwater monitoring (semi-annual for five years
and annual thereafter) was required to be conducted from selected groundwater monitoring wells. In
addition, the remedy required administrative controls be placed on the Proper
Industry (5.01)
