Public health assessment for GCL Tie and Treating, Sidney, Delaware County, New York, Region 2: CERCLIS Number NYD981566417. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:305775
GCL Tie and Treating (GCL) is a two-acre inactive sawmill and wood-treating plant in the Village of Sidney, Delaware County, New York. Because of past exposure, the site posed a public health hazard. Past remedial measures have minimized the potential for exposure to physical hazards and contaminants at the site. Currently, the site poses no apparent public health hazard although additional investigation and possibly remediation are needed to ensure that future exposures do not occur. Groundwater at the site boundaries is contaminated. Elevated levels of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons are present in soil in the area north of the GCL property fence line. Access to this area by the public is currently unrestricted. Although there is no evidence of use currently, future use of the site is uncertain. The ATSDR`s Health Activities Recommendations Panel has evaluated the site to determine appropriate follow-up health actions. The panel determined that no other follow-up health actions are indicated at this time.
