Health assessment for Warwick Landfill, Orange County, Warwick, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD980506679. Preliminary report
Warwick Landfill is located in the southeastern portion of Orange County in the Town of Warwick, New York. The 13-acre municipal landfill was operated as a refuse-disposal facility from the late 1950s until 1979 when the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation issued a restraining order. Industrial waste was allegedly disposed at the site. Environmental contamination has been confirmed in on-site ground-water monitoring wells and leachate seeps. Historically, sampling has included: surface water (Long Pond Inn), leachate/surface water, ground-water on-site, private wells off-site (5 homes), and sediment and soils on-site. Contamination of surface water by organics and inorganics has been identified in seeps off-site. Ground-water contamination has been identified on-site in all four of the shallow monitoring wells. The site represents a potential public health threat. Monitoring of private wells should continue to ensure domestic water sources for the area residents.
