Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:200239

The Islip Landfill site (also known as the Blydenburgh Landfill), which is on the National Priorities List (NPL), is in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York. On-site and off-site groundwater is contaminated with chlorinated solvents. As many as 18 private water supply wells downgradient from the landfill are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In late 1979 and during the early part of 1980, the Town`s consultant determined that soil gas was migrating from the landfill onto neighboring properties. Based on the information reviewed and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry`s (ATSDR) criteria, the Islip Landfill was a public health hazard in the past.
