stanton cleaners area ground water contamination

110 CUTTER MILL ROAD

The Stanton Cleaners Area Groundwater Contamination site (Site) includes an active dry-cleaning business, located at 110 Cutter Mill Road in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County. The Stanton Cleaners Property (SCP) is approximately 1/4-acre in size and includes a one-story building in which the dry-cleaning business operates and an adjacent one-story boiler/storage building. At the present time, the Site also includes a two-story operations building in which the Environmental Protection Agency houses its ongoing soil and groundwater treatment operations. Most of the SCP has been paved with asphalt except for a narrow strip at the rear of the property. Adjoining properties include an indoor tennis facility (which has been demolished), a synagogue and Hebrew school, a condominium and a service station. The surrounding community is zoned commercial/residential and is serviced by public sewer and water. The public water is supplied by the Water Authority of Great Neck North (WAGNN). Three public water supply wells are located approximately 1000 feet downgradient of the SCP. As a result of past disposal practices, tetrachloroethene or PCE, a volatile organic compound (VOC), migrated from the subsurface soils into the indoor air environments of the above-referenced affected buildings adjacent to the SCP and into the groundwater beneath the Site. Levels of PCE, a solvent commonly used by dry cleaners, have been found above Federal and State drinking water standards in the WAGNN public water supply wells.
