Technical Report · Tue Jun 21 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:7003634

The Fulton Terminals Site is located in an urban area near the extreme northern edge of Fulton, New York, within 50 feet of the Oswego River. The site served as an oil, asphalt, and chemical storage area from 1936-1977. Sampling and analysis of site soil, sediments, ground water, and surface water revealed a number of Hazardous Substance List contaminants including arsenic, benzene, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and xylene. The identified pathways for contaminant migration include ground water, surface water, soil, air, and bioaccumulation. Under current conditions the site poses as a potential threat to human health in the event of unauthorized site entry, ingestion of contaminated groundwater, and use of the Oswego River adjacent to the site for recreational uses.
