Public health assessment for Ramapo Landfill, Ramapo, Rockland County, New York, Region 2. Cerclis No. NYD000511493. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5333965
The Ramapo Landfill site is an inactive landfill in the Town of Ramapo, Rockland County, New York. On-site groundwater, leachate seeps and landfill gas are contaminated at levels of public health concern as are off-site groundwater monitoring wells and surface water. Exposure to several metals in on-site leachate seeps could present an increased public health risk. Persons on the landfill may be at increased risk of noncarcinogenic effects from exposures to xylene and ethylbenzene in ambient air. A public health threat may exist due to the generation of methane which could migrate off the landfill and accumulate in closed buildings, such as the baler building, weigh station and adjacent homes. Off-site groundwater monitoring wells are contaminated at levels of public health concern with volatile and semi-volatile compounds and metals. There exists the potential for exposure to site-related groundwater contaminants which may reach residential wells and the baler building well.
