Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Manhattan Beach Army Housing Units, Brooklyn, New York
Abstract
The Manhattan Beach housing area does not present an imminent or substantial threat to human health or the environment. There is no evidence that hazardous or toxic materials have been released from the property. Immediate remedial actions, therefore, are not warranted for the site. Although these housing units were previously used in support of a U.S. Air Force Station, it is unlikely that Air Force operational wastes were delivered to this property for management or disposal. However, potential environmental impacts have been identified at the property, and these warrant continued investigation. Once a comprehensive asbestos survey has been completed, remedial action plans to address all identified problems caused by deteriorated asbestos should be developed and implemented. In addition, prior to the release of this property, three pole-mounted electrical transformers located on-site and owned by the Army should be sampled for the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls; and the transformers labeled appropriately. These recommendations assume that the property will most likely continue to be used for residential housing. (edc)
