Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7234272

The Genzale Plating CompAny, Inc. is located at 288 New Hyde Park Road in the Hamlet of Franklin Square, Nassau County, New York. The area surrounding the site is predominantly residential. Subsurface soils and, to a lesser extent, near surface soils (0-2 feet) at the Genzale site have elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds and metals. The groundwater beneath the site is contaminated with VOCs and metals. Elevated levels of metals were found in the water of an off-site, downgradient, groundwater monitoring well and both metals and VOCs were detected in a downgradient inactive irrigation well. The site poses an indeterminate public health hazard. The available data do not indicate that humans are being or have been exposed to levels of contamination that would be expected to cause adverse health effects. However, data or information are not available for all environmental media to which humans may be exposed.
