ellenville scrap iron and metal

34 CAPE ROAD

The Ellenville Scrap Iron and Metal site (Site) is a 24-acre, inactive scrap iron and metal reclamation facility located in the rural Village of Ellenville, Ulster County, New York. Approximately 10 acres of the 24-acre Site were used for scrap metal operations. The Site is bound to the north by Cape Road and to the south by Good Beer Kill. Historically, the Site consisted of a hydraulic bailing machine used for metal cans and other small parts; scrap metal piles, construction and demolition debris, railroad ties, automobile battery casings pile and brush piles. The Site is divided into upper and lower portions by an embankment (landfill), approximately forty feet in height, composed of finely shredded waste, scrap brick, concrete, wood and other debris. The embankment runs in a crescent along a northwesterly to southeasterly axis which bisects the Site. Operations at the Site began in 1950. In 1997, the Site was also used as a landfill and used tire dump. From 1987 to 1998, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) inspected the Site on numerous occasions and directed the owner to remediate some of the debris conditions at the Site. Approximately 4000 people relying on both public and private drinking water supplies live in the area. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal and State actions
