198-300 MILL STREET
The Eighteen Mile Creek Site is located in Niagara County, New York and consists of contaminated sediments, soil and groundwater. The Creek flows north for approximately 15 miles and discharges to Lake Ontario in Olcott, New York. The headwaters consist of an East and West Branch which are immediately north of the New York State Barge Canal. The branches merge to form the main body of the Creek at the Clinton Street bridge in Lockport, New York The Site has been divided into two parts: the Eighteen Mile Creek Corridor, which extends from the Creek's headwaters at the Barge Canal to Harwood Road in Lockport, and contamination north of the Creek Corridor. The Corridor contains most of the Site's legacy contamination. The Corridor includes approximately 4,000 feet of the Creek, as well as properties located along Mill Street, Water Street and Clinton Street in the City of Lockport. The Corridor was the focus of a Remedial Investigation (RI) and Supplemental RI completed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) in 2009. The study area north of the Creek Corridor extends from Harwood Road to the Creek's discharge into Lake Ontario and includes numerous contaminated depositional areas. Sediment samples were collected in the study area for almost the entire length of the Creek to Burt Dam, and was the focus of a Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) study which was completed in March 2011.
