Technical Report · Mon Aug 22 04:00:00 EDT 1994

OSTI ID:6839039

The Pasley Solvents and Chemicals site, which is on the National Priorities List, is situated between the borders of the Village of Garden City and Uniondale in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. Soils at the site are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily solvent constituents and petroleum hydrocarbons compounds; semi-volatile compounds (primarily polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds); and several metals. Groundwater in the shallow and deep aquifers under the site is contaminated with VOCs, primarily solvent constituents and petroleum hydrocarbons compounds, and two semi-volatile compounds at the concentrations exceeding public health assessment comparison values. Limited information is available on soil gas intrusion and indoor air contamination, and this pathway is of concern since occupied buildings are nearby and above contaminated groundwater plumes.
