DUBLIN ROAD
The FMC Corporation's Dublin Road Site is an inactive waste site located in north-western New York in Orleans County, a portion being in the Town of Ridgeway and a portion in the Town of Shelby. The 30-acre site is divided into two areas by Dublin Road creating a northern rectangular parcel of about 21 acres that contains two inactive rock quarries and wooded property, and a southern parcel of about 9 acres containing a waste pile, rectangular pond and a swamp. Since 1933, approximately 4 to 6 acres of the south parcel were used to dispose of coal ash cinders, laboratory wastes consisting of glass bottles and chemical residues, residues from lime sulfur filtration, building debris and residues from pesticide production areas. These materials contained metals in the form of salts and pesticides/insecticides. FMC stopped disposal activity at the site in 1968. This area is fenced and posted with warning signs. The area surrounding the site is sparsely populated. Approximately 100 people live within a 1/2-mile radius of the site. The site is bounded by the New York State Barge Canal and Jeddo Creek, both of which are used for recreational activities. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
