Health assessment for Batavia Landfill, Genesee County, Batavia, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD980507693. Preliminary report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7003845
The Batavia Landfill is a 30-acre site located in the Town of Batavia (Genesee County) New York. Drummed and undrummed wastes contributing to the contamination identified at the site include heavy-metal sludges, oils, and organic solvents. Analyses of ground water indicates the presence of heavy metal and volatile organic contaminants (VOCs). Surface-water analysis indicates the presence of heavy metal contaminants. Analyses of off-site ground water samples taken from private wells, from a well serving a trailer park and from municipal wells serving the Town of Oakfield found iron in concentrations up to 3.2 mg/L and VOCs in concentrations up to 240 microg/L. The Batavia Landfill has created a public health and exposure concern for those who use the contaminated ground water in the vicinity of the landfill. The extent of off-site contaminant migration by the ground water must be determined and a complete site characterization, including a thorough sampling plan of all media is necessary to evaluate the potential environmental impact of the landfill.
