A branch of the NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) requested EPA removal support to address 14 bags of friable asbestos containing material (ACM) dumped under an unoccupied trailer in Harpursville, NY, approx. 10 miles northeast of Binghamton, NY. The ACM consists of what appears to be friable insulation and floor tiles. EPA will be coordinating removal and disposal activities with the NYSDEC and NYS Dept. of Labor.
EPA is responding to the request by sending two OSCs and a clean-up contractor to the Site to remediate the asbestos and transport it to a permitted disposal facility.
