State Superfund Site Reclassification Notice  
Class 02 to Class 03

The Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Site Program (the State Superfund Program) is the State's program for identifying, investigating, and cleaning up sites where the disposal of hazardous waste may present a threat to public health and/or the environment. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) maintains a list of these sites in the Registry of Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites (Registry). The site identified above, and located on the attached map, has been reclassified on the Registry as a Class 3 site as it no longer presents a significant threat to public health and/or the environment for the following reason(s):

• Human exposures at the site have been addressed. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were not detected during the most recent groundwater sampling event and previous investigations have not identified any significant sources of contamination on-site. The on-site private well is no longer used for potable purposes and sampling of off-site private wells shows levels of VOCs below drinking water standards.
