"Most of the Site is on land owned by the Village of Endicott (the En-Joie Golf Course, the Sewage Treatment Plant, the Endicott Landfill and the Tri-Cities Airport). The Village operates four wells that serve 45,000 people and the Ranney Well supplies about half of the total drinking water of the system. EPA detected vinyl chloride and trace amounts of other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the discharge from the Ranney Well. The Endicott Landfill is approximately 70 acres in size and was found to be the source of the contamination to the Ranney Well. The Endicott Landfill accepted municipal refuse and industrial waste from approximately the late 1950's until 1977. Site Responsibility: This site was addressed through Federal and potentially responsible parties' actions.
The site is being addressed in four stages: immediate actions and three long-term remedial phases focused on cleanup of the public water supply, cleanup of the entire site and containment of the groundwater plume."
"EPA has conducted three five-year reviews at the site. These reviews ensure that the remedies put in place protect public health and the environment, and function as intended by site decision documents.
The most recent review, completed in 2011, found that response actions at the site are in accordance with the remedy selected by EPA and that the remedy continues to be protective of human health and the environment. "
