CHAPTER10:HAZARDOUSMATERIALS

INTRODUCTION

This chapter assesses the potential for human and/or environmental exposure to hazardousmaterialsinsoiland/orgroundwaterattheProjectedandPotentialdevelopmentsitesidentifiedintheReasonableWorst‐CaseDevelopmentScenario(RWCDS)oftheproposedBayStreetRezoningandRelatedActionsProposal.TheProjectAreaisanapproximately20‐blockareaonStatenIsland’sNorthShorethatincludesportionsoftheTompkinsville,Stapleton,andSt.GeorgeneighborhoodsinCommunityDistrict1.TheRWCDSidentified30ProjectedDevelopmentSites(sitesconsideredmorelikely to be developed by the 2030 analysis year) and 23 Potential Development Sites (sitesconsideredlesslikelytobedevelopedoverthesameperiod.BothProjectedDevelopmentSites(1–30) and Potential Development Sites (labeled A – W) are included in this Hazardous Materialsassessment(Figures10‐1through10‐3).

As described in the CEQR TechnicalManual, the goal of a hazardousmaterials assessment is todeterminewhethertheproposedprojectmayincreasetheexposureofpeopleortheenvironmenttohazardousmaterials,and,ifso,whetherthisincreasedexposurewouldresultinpotentialsignificantpublic health or environmental impacts from (i) elevated levels of hazardousmaterials on a sitewhere pathways to human exposure would be increased, (ii) introduction of new activities orprocesses using hazardous materials, or (iii) introducing a population to potential human orenvironmental exposure fromoff‐site sources. If significant adverse impacts are identified,CEQRrequiresthattheimpactsbedisclosedandmitigatedoravoidedtothegreatestextentpracticable.1

Potentialroutesofexposuretohazardousmaterialscaninclude:directcontact,e.g.,contactbetweencontaminated soil and skin (dermal contact); breathing of VOCs or chemicals associated withsuspendedsoilparticles(inhalation),swallowingofsoilorwater(ingestion).Publichealthmayalsobethreatenedwhensoilvaporsmigratethroughthesubsurfaceand/oralongpreferentialpathways(e.g.,buildingfoundations,utilityconduits,orductwork)andaccumulatebeneathaconcreteslaborinsideabasement,resultinginanexplosive,oxygen‐deficient,orhazardousatmosphere.2

Apreliminaryscreeningbytaxlotofpotentialhazardousmaterialsimpactswasperformedforall30Projected Development Sites and 23 Potential Development Sites. Each Projected and PotentialDevelopment Sitemay be comprised ofmore than one tax lot. This screeningwas performed todeterminewhether an (E) designation or other comparablemechanism should be placed on theProjectedandPotentialDevelopmentSitesidentifiedintheRWCDSfortheProposedActions.Ifan(E)designation is indicated,additional investigationandremediationwouldberequired, therebyavoidingthepotentialforimpactspertainingtohazardousmaterials.

METHODOLOGY

ConsistentwiththeCEQRTechnicalManual,reviewsofregulatorydatabasesand/orSanborn®mapswereusedtodeterminehistoricalusesandincidentsthatoccurredonpropertiesorwithina400‐footStudyAreaofthepropertiestodeterminewhetherthetaxlotwouldbeeligibletoreceivean(E)designation.

Chapter24ofTitle15oftheRulesoftheCityofNewYork(15RCNYChapter24)specifiestheprocessfor determining whether an (E) designation should be placed on a specific site. Section 24‐04describesthepreliminaryscreeningprocess,whichincludesreviewinghistoricaldocumentationforpastorcurrentusesthatmayhaveaffectedorbeaffectingaProjectedorPotentialDevelopmentSiteor an adjacent site. Appendix A of 15 RCNY Chapter 24 provides a list of facilities, activities, orconditionsthatwouldrequireasiteassessment.

The development under the No‐Action Condition isexpected to result in an incremental increase over existing conditions of approximately six (6)residentialunits(two(2) in theBayStreetCorridorProjectAreaand four(4) in theCanalStreetCorridor Project Area) and 24,789 sf of additional community facility space; and result in a netdecreaseof32,825sfofcommercialspace.Initsentirety,thedevelopmentintheNo‐ActionConditionisanticipatedtoconstitutetwelve(12)dwellingunits,343,235sfofcommercialspace,and37,879sfofcommunityfacilityspace.

The applicant must submit to the New York City Office of Environmental Remediation (OER), for review and approval, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the site along with a soil and groundwater testing protocol, including a description of methods and a site map with all sampling locations clearly and precisely represented. Ifsitesamplingisnecessary,nosamplingshouldbeginuntilwrittenapprovalofaprotocolisreceivedfromOER.Thenumberandlocationofsamplesitesshouldbeselectedtoadequatelycharacterize thesite, thespecificsourceofsuspectedcontamination(i.e.,petroleumbasedcontamination and non‐petroleum based contamination), and the remainder of the site’scondition.Thecharacterizationshouldbecompleteenoughtodeterminewhatremediationstrategy (if any) is necessary after review of sampling data.

STAPLETONWATERFRONTPHASEIIIDEVELOPMENTSITES

A Phase II ESI Report for the Stapleton Homeport Redevelopment (Appendix F, “HazardousMaterials”),whichencompasses two(2)ProjectedDevelopmentSitesonBlock487,Lot100 (theStapleton Waterfront Phase III Sites) was prepared on behalf of the New York City EconomicDevelopment Corporation (EDC) in August 2008. The investigation activities performedwere asfollows:

Sitereconnaissance;

Utilityclearanceandsite‐widegeophysicalsurvey;

Soil,groundwaterandsoilvaporinvestigation;and

Asbestos,leadandmoldsurveys.

The2006PhaseIEnvironmentalSiteAssessment(ESA),citedinthePhaseIIESIReport,identifiedthefollowingRecognizedEnvironmentalConcerns(RECs):REC1‐TheExpansionoftheShorelineBasedon reviewof aerialphotographsandsitehistory, the shorelinewasexpanded through theplacementof importedfill.Thismaterialmayhavebeencontaminatedwithcompoundsincludingvolatileorganics,semivolatileorganicsandmetals.REC2‐TheHistoricalUsesofthePropertyThehistoricaluseof theproperty and surroundingareasmayhavenegatively impacted the site.Potential uses of the surrounding areas include coal yards, auto repair facilities and petroleumstorageareas.
