Findings

Bulk Soil Samples (ASBESTOS)

(USEPA) considers a material to be asbestos-containing if it contains one percent or greater (1%) asbestos by weight.

No asbestos fibers were detected in all four composite bulk soil samples, See Asbestos Analytical Results. Attachment A for

Bulk Soil Samples (METALS)

Of the eight elemental metals analyzed in the four composite bulk samples, only lead and arsenic have a regulatory limit for soil contamination. The limit for lead is set by the USEPA at 400 parts per million (ppm) in areas where children will likely have contact soil A play area is considered a lead hazard by the USEPA if the with contaminated samples meet or exceed 400 ppm. Other soil areas not likely to be contacted by children have a USEPA regulatory limit of 1,200 ppm.

The average of the four composite bulk soil samples for lead was 23,45 ug/Kg (or ppm). No lead hazard was found to b present in these samples.

Arsenic in soil is regulated by the USEPA at a limit of 20 ppm.

The average concentration of Arsenic in the four samples was 2.8 ppm. No arsenic hazard was found to be present in the samples.

The other six elemental metals analyzed do not have specific regulatory limits for soil contamination by any federal, state or city agency. However guidelines have been set by federal and state agencies as recommended soil cleanup objectives. In particular, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has recommended soil cleanup objectives for heavy metals as outlined in Technical and Administrative Guideline Memorandum #4046 (TAGM #4046), dated January 24, 1994. See Table 4 attached to this report for a list of heavy metals, background levels of these heavy metals found in the Eastern United States and the recommended soil cleanup objective.
