416 LANZA AVE

The 1-acre Curcio Scrap Metal, Inc. (CSMI) site is an active scrap metal yard that contains 10,950 square feet of warehouse and office space. CSMI and Cirello Iron and Steel Company (CISC) recycle scrap iron, copper, aluminum, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals on this active yard. In 1982, CSMI received shipments of 50 electrical transformers and, while cutting the transformers, oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) spilled onto the ground. The State became aware of the site in 1982 when a citizen became concerned over CSMI's activities. The State found the soil and runoff from a drainage ditch to be contaminated with PCBs. In 1985, the State discovered an oil spill that flowed from the site to a pond approximately 300 feet from the Curcio site and determined that CISC was responsible for the spill. The company spilled approximately 200 gallons of hydraulic fluid on the CSMI site. Approximately 30,000 people depend on public wells within 3 miles of the site as their sole source of drinking water. An estimated 1,000 to 3,000 people live within a 1-mile radius, with the closest residence being 300 feet from the site. The site is located above the Brunswick Aquifer. Schroeders Brook is located nearby.
