Health assessment for York Oil Company, Moira, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD000511733. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7003628
York Oil Company site is approximately 17 acres located in the Town of Moira, northwestern Franklin County, in upper New York State. York Oil Company was a waste-oil recycling facility which operated for approximately 18 years, collecting and refining oils from the New England area. Off-site migration of contaminants has occurred via groundwater and overland flow. There are thirteen residential wells within one-half mile of the site. Currently, the residential wells are not contaminated by compounds from the site; however, the contamination appears to be migrating toward three residential wells downgradient of the site. The site poses a public health concern as a result of the potential for indirect ingestion and direct contact exposures to: Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)- and lead-contaminated wastes on-site, PCB-contaminated soil on-site, and PCB-contaminated sediments off-site. The potential health threats posed by inhalation exposures to vapors, fumes, and dusts from the site and ingestion of contaminated food-chain entities could not be evaluated.
