Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Rocky Point Army Housing Units, Rocky Point, New York
Abstract
The Rocky Point (New York) housing area presents no imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. Although the area was originally developed to support a Nike missile battery, there is no evidence that any wastes associated with missile operations were ever delivered to or managed at the housing property. A number of 55-gallon drums have been deposited at the northern property boundary. Four empty drums are located on the housing property itself. Approximately 50 additional drums were positioned north of the property on land now owned by the town of Brookhaven. A locked fence between the properties prevented close inspection of the rusted and discarded drums. Appropriate Army housing authorities have already begun actions to address potential problems from asbestos and radon at the housing area. Those actions should continue to completion. Additional actions are recommended prior to release of this property. These recommendations assume that the property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. Housing dwellings; Army facility closures. (edc)
