Abstract |
Li Tungsten is an abandoned tungsten powders processing facility. Approximately 16, 000 tons of slag/ore exhibiting low levels of beta/gamma radiation are on site. The Li Tungsten site is located in the City of Glen Cove, New York. It is a 26-acre site consisting of two designated tracts of land. One portion consist of the property comprising the former Li Tungsten facility, and the other consist of the Captain's Cove condominium and Garvies Point dump site. This second piece of land is referred to in the ROD as the Captain's Cove property. The site is located in a mostly commercial area, along with some light and heavy industry, as well as a sewage treatment plant. It is located approximately 0.5 miles to the east of the Li Tungsten facility. Two state superfund sites are located to the north of the site as well as a federal superfund site. This facility operated as a metal processing plant from 1942 until 1985. A majority of the work involved the processing of a material known as tungsten which was then turned into several tungsten containing products. Contamination was most likely caused by the disposal of waste in various areas of the property. On July 21, 1989 the EPA signed a administrative Order of Consent with the current owner of the Li Tungsten facility property. The EPA then performed response activities in 1995 and 1996. This was followed by removal activities between 1996 and 1998. The activities resulted in the removal of large amounts of hazardous waste from the site. A feasibility study was completed in 1999 and was followed by a ROD in the same year. This is the selected remedy for both the Li Tungsten facility as well as the Captain's Cove property. The remedy calls for the excavation of contaminated soils, separation of radionuclide from non-radionuclide contaminated soils, and offsite disposal of all soils contaminated above cleanup levels to appropriate offsite facilities. |
