THE PID READINGS OF VES EFFLUENT ARE AN AVERAGE TO 50 PPM. 05/14/2002: CH, TW, AND PM MEET WITH MIKE SAUNDERS TO DISCUSS THE STATUS OF THE SITE. 12/12/2002: SITE STAUS REPORT FOR OCT 2002 RECIEVED 11/15/02. SVES CONTINUES TO OPERATE. QUARTERLY GROUNDWATER SAMPLING IS PERFORMED. DISSOLVED BTEX CONTAMINATION REMAINS MOSTLY UNCHANGED FROM PAST SAMPLING EVENTS. A MORE AGGRESSIVE REMEDIATION OR NEW TECHNOLOGY MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION TO LEVELS FOR CLOSURE. 10/27/2005: REVIEW QUARTERLY GROUNDWATER MONITORING REPORT FOR THE 3RD QUARTER OF 2005. MW-1, MW-3 WERE SAMPLED. MW-3 CONTINUES TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT BTEX CONTAMINATION. THE SVE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN DUE TO DIMINISHED RESULTS. BASED ON SAMPLING RESULTS THE DEPT SHOULD DRAFT A LETTER REQUESTING ALL WELLS TO BE SAMPLED DURING QUARTERLY SAMPLING. MW-2 HISTORICALLY HAD THE HIGHEST BTEX LEVELS AND IT HAS NOT BEEN SAMPLED SINCE SEPT 2003. SENTINEL SHOULD ALSO POSSIBLY INCLUDE MNA SAMPLING IF THEY ARE CONSIDERING NATURAL ATTENUATION AS A REMEDIAL SOURCE AT THE SITE. A NEW RAP SHOULD BE DEVELOPED FOR THE SITE SINCE THE EXISTING SVE SYSTEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HAVING ANY POSITIVE AFFECT ON GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION. 04/09/2007: SITE STATUS REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE DEPT ON MARCH 12, 2007. BASED ON THE REPORT, THE DEPT DRAFTS A LETTER TO SENTINEL REQUESTING MW-2 TO BE INCLUDED IN THE QUARTERLY SAMPLING PROGRAM, SAMPLE ALL WELLS AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, PREPARE A NEW RAP. IF NATURAL ATTENTUATION IS PROPOSED FOR REMEDIATION THEN MNA SAMPLING MUST ALSO BE PERFORMED IN SAMPLING PROGRAM. MW-3 CONTINUES TO EXCEED BENZENE LEVELS IN GROUNDWATER. 10/01/2007: QUARTERLY REPORT RECEIVED FROM SENTINEL TECHNOLOGIES FOR GROUNDWATER SAMPLING PERFORMED ON SEPT 5, 2007. MW-2 WAS INCLUDED IN THE SAMPLING AS REQUESTED BY THE DEPT. BENZENE LEVELS IN BOTH MW-2 AND MW-3 EXCEED STANDARDS. SENTINEL HAD PROPOSED IN A LETTER TO VAC OUT WELLS WITH A VAC TRUCK TO TRY AND REMOVE ANY RESIDUAL CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT AND FINES COLLECTED THAT MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE HIGH BTEX IN THE WELLS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THIS WAS PERFORMED OR AT LEAST THERE IS NO MENTION OF IT IN THE QUARTERLY SAMPLING REPORT. DEPTH TO WATER IS DEEPER THAN NORMAL BUT NOT DRASTICALLY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN GROUNDWATER RESULTS. 04/30/2008: SITE STATUS REPORT RECEIVED FROM SENTINEL TECHNOLOGIES. 07/21/2008: SITE STATUS REPORT RECEIVED FROM SENTINEL TECHNOLOGIES. 10/13/2009: SITE STATUS REPORT RECEIVED FROM SENTINEL TECHNOLOGIES. REVIEW OF THE REPORT SHOWS THAT CONTAMINATION LEVELS IN THE GROUNDWATER IN MW-2 AND MW-3 REMAIN HIGH. EFFLUENT FROM THE VES IS RELATIVELY NON DETECT WHICH WOULD INDICATE IT IS NOT ADDRESSING CONTAMINATION IN THE TWO IMPACTED WELLS. REQUEST TO DO ALTERNATE REMEDIATION TO ADDRESS CONTAMINATION SHOULD BE MADE TO RP. SITE STATUS REPORT FOR AUGUST 2010 RECEIVED. SITE SAMPLING WAS PERFORMED IN AUGUST. MW4 AND MW5 WERE NOT SAMPLED. MW-1 HAS BEEN LOW LEVELS OF BTEX TO ND. MW2 AND MW3 CONTINUE TO HAVE HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF BTEX WITH LITTLE TO NO REDUCTION IN LEVELS. A NEW REMEDIAL PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED TO ADDRESS RESIDUAL NON DECLINING CONTAMINATION. 03/22/11: SITE STATUS REPORT DATED MARCH 16, 2011 RECEIVED FROM SENTINEL. MW-2 TOTAL BTEX 292PPB AND MW-3 1372 PPB. THESE TWO WELLS REMAIN HIGH. LETTER REQUESTING TARGETED REMEDIATION TO BE FORWARDED TO SENTINEL. 04/14/11: RECEIVE A REVISED RAP FROM SENTINEL FOR THE SITE. THE PLAN PROPOSES A LIMITED SPARGE SYSTEM BE INSTALLED IN MW-2 AND MW-3. THEY PROPOSE MONTHLY O&M OF THE SITE FOR 6 MONTHS AT WHICH TIME THEY WILL SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN FOR ONE DAY AND THEN SAMPLE MW-2 AND MW-3 TO EVALUATE REMEDIAL PROGRESS. THE DEPT APPROVES THE PROPOSED PLAN. 08/2/11: SENTINEL INSTALLS THE SPARGE SYSTEM AT THE SITE. 04/24/2012: CLOSURE LETTER DRAFTED FOR THE SITE. SENTINEL OPERATED THE SPARGE SYSTEM AND PERFORMED FOLLOW UP SAMPLING. SENTINEL PROVIDED A MARCH 2012 SITE STATUS REPORT TO THE DEPT FOR REVIEW. GROUNDWATER SAMPLING PERFORMED IN MARCH INDICATED THE REMEDIAL EFFORTS HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE BTEX CONCENTRATIONS IN GROUNDWATER AT THE SITE. BTEX LEVELS WERE MINIMAL TO NON DETECT. BASED ON REVIEW OF THE SPILL FILE, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NECESSARY. 04/24/2012: PAPER FILE REMOVED PER FILE RETENTION POLICY. |

Under State law, petroleum and hazardous chemical spills that can impact the waters of the state must be reported by the spiller (and, in some cases, by anyone who has knowledge of the spills). This dataset contains records of spills of petroleum and other hazardous materials. Every year, DEC receives approximately 15,000 reports of confirmed or suspected releases to the environment. Approximately ninety percent of those releases involve petroleum products. The rest involve various hazardous materials, unknown materials, or other substances such as untreated sewage and cooking grease. Accidental releases of petroleum and/or other hazardous materials occur throughout New York State. Even small releases have the potential to endanger public health and contaminate groundwater, surface water, and soils.
Environmental damage from such releases depends on the material spilled, the quantity spilled and the extent of contamination. Many of these reports are releases of small quantities, typically a few gallons that are contained and cleaned up quickly with little or no damage to the environment. In other instances, material releases may seep through the soil and eventually into the groundwater, which can make water supplies unsafe to drink. Vapors from spilled materials may also collect in houses and businesses, creating potential indoor air health concerns or fire/explosion hazards. Uncontained spills, especially those that impact surface water, can kill or injure plants, fish, and wildlife, and cause damage to their habitats. Federal and State laws require prompt reporting of petroleum and other hazardous material releases to allow quick response. DEC responds to reports through the Spill Response Program. Both immediate response and continued cleanup vary depending on the type of material spilled and the resulting impacts to the environment. Federal and State law require the spiller, or responsible party, to notify government agencies and to contain, clean up, and dispose of any spilled/contaminated material in order to correct any environmental damage. This cleanup is typically undertaken by a qualified contractor hired by the responsible party. Any delay in containing or recovering a release allows contaminants to spread and may result in more extensive damage and more expensive cleanups. If the responsible party is unable or unwilling to do the necessary work, DEC will use its staff and contractors to complete the cleanup and seek to recover its costs from the responsible party. DEC can provide additional resources to local agencies during emergencies and will remain involved if continued cleanup of the environment is required. Continued cleanup is the responsibility of the spiller and is required if contamination and environmental damage remain after the initial containment and recovery. Continued cleanup may include determining the extent of contamination, selecting a cleanup technology, and completing remedial actions. DEC oversees the process to ensure the actions are protective of public safety, health and the environment pursuant to Article 12 Section 176 of the Navigation Law and regulations developed under Article 37 Section 105 of the ECL (i.e., 6NYCRR Parts 596-599).
This dataset includes records of spills of petroleum and other hazardous materials. Examples of what may be included in a spill record includes: Administrative information (DEC region and unique seven-digit spill number), Program facility name, Spill date/time, Location, Spill source and cause, Material(s) and material type spilled, Quantity spilled and recovered, Units measured, Surface water bodies affected, Close date (cleanup activity finished and all paperwork completed).
To give New Yorkers the access they deserve to government data and information, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo launched the Open NY initiative in March 2013 and signed Executive Order 95. It directs state agencies to identify, catalog, and publish their data on the state's open data website administered by the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS). Open NY increases transparency, improves government performance, empowers New Yorkers to participate in government, and encourages research and economic opportunities statewide.
