HOLMAN CITY RD
The 18-acre Ludlow Sand & Gravel site is a landfill and gravel pit located on a 130-acre parcel of land. Disposal at the site began in the early 1960s and included domestic wastes, septic tank effluent, industrial wastes such as dyes and waste oils, and animal parts from a meat processing plant. Area residents expressed concern in 1966 when large areas of the site were left uncovered and a strong odor could be detected at a considerable distance. In 1982, trace quantities of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected in the leachate pools located at the southern portions of the property. The District Court of Binghamton ordered the landfill closed and dumping ceased in 1988, although the gravel pit was still in operation. A New York State-designated wetland is located to the southeast of the site. The landfill is in a groundwater recharge zone to an aquifer along Sauquoit Creek, which serves as a major discharge point for groundwater flowing from this aquifer and is a tributary of the Mohawk River. The residents east of the landfill obtain their drinking water supply from the aquifer. The municipal water supply for the community of Clayville is obtained from ground water. The nearest residence is 1/2 mile from the landfill. Three residential wells are located within 1,000 feet of the site, and eight additional wells are 1,000 to 3,000 feet away. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible parties' actions (PRPs).
