Technical Report · Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7246889

The Pasley Solvents and Chemicals site, a National Priorities List site, is located in the Town of Hempstead, immediately east of the Village of Garden City in Nassau County, New York. Between 1969 and 1982, Pasley operated a chemical distribution facility on the lot, occasionally storing waste chemicals. Prior to this, Commander Oil used the site for gasoline storage and fuel oil distribution. The Nassau County Health Department (NCHD) investigated the site in 1981 and found the on-site soil and ground water to be contaminated with organic solvents and petroleum products. On-site sampling by NCHD and the owner has revealed organic chemicals and petroleum products in both soil and ground water. Six chlorinated solvents and four aromatic compounds are in ground water above the part per million. The site is a potential threat to public health.
