1.1.1 Incident Category
Abandoned drums of automotive chemicals including waste oil and other lubricants.
1.1.2 Site Description
The Site is a former automotive supply store and repair shop.
1.1.2.1 Location
The Site is located in Northumberland, Saratoga County, NY, a semi-rural area amidst residential and light commercial properties. It is bordered on County highway #50 on the south and an un-named brook on the north
There are private residences on the east and west sides of the Site.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
The threat is a release of oil based materials overland into the brook and thence into the Hudson River, approx. 2 miles to the east.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Preliminary observations of the Site revealed the presence of approx. 200 containers of what appears to be waste oil. Containers vary from 5-gallons up to 250 gallon home heating oil tanks. In addition there are some containers of automotive chemicals and other chemicals. The Site is owned but has been abandoned by the owner. There is no electricity in the building and no functioning fire or smoke detectors. There is no business being conducted so there is no one present to monitor fire or flood conditions.
In addition, there is evidence of drums and other containers having been buried in a filled-in area adjacent to the brook.
