fulton terminals

RTE 57

Millions of gallons of waste oils and sludges were stored in tanks at the 1 1/2-acre Fulton Terminals site, which is now inactive. From 1936 to 1960, the primary activity on the site was the manufacturing of roofing materials, which involved the storage of asphalt in aboveground tanks and fuel oil storage in underground tanks. From 1972 to 1977, the site was used as a staging and storage area for materials scheduled for incineration at the Pollution Abatement Services site, which also is on the National Priorities List. From 1981 to 1983, Fulton Terminals removed several tanks as part of a voluntary cleanup program. These activities ceased in 1983, after the facility was fined by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the improper disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls. The site, located in an urban area, has approximately 13,000 people living within 3 miles, is within 50 feet of the Oswego River, which is used for recreation. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through state, federal, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
