GARVIES POINT ROAD

The 2-acre Mattiace Petrochemical Company site is an inactive chemical distribution facility located on Long Island. From the mid-1960s until 1987, Mattiace received chemicals by tank truck and redistributed them to its customers. The company also operated the M&M Drum Cleaning Company on the Site until 1982. During its operational period, the Mattiace property contained a Quonset hut, shed, concrete loading dock, and approximately 56 storage tanks, most of which were underground. In 1987, after seven years of failed negotiations and litigation regarding various waste-handling and environmental infractions, the State of New York seized the property. At that time, many drums and tanks of organic, acid, and alkali liquids remained. In 1988, the EPA implemented an emergency action to secure the Site and remove more than 100,000 gallons of hazardous liquids. Surrounding the Site are industrial areas, including the Li Tungsten and Captain’s Cove Superfund properties, Garvies Point Preserve (designated by the State as a significant natural habitat), tidal wetlands, and Glen Cove Creek. Hempstead Harbor and Long Island Sound are located within 3 miles of the Site and are used for recreation.
