435 FIRST STREET

The Jackson Steel site is an inactive "roll form metal shapes" manufacturing facility located in Mineola/North Hempstead. Jackson Steel operated at the site as early as 1970 and ceased operations in 1991. Degreasers, including tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), were used at the facility until March 1985. Sludges from degreasing equipment were stored in drums. During a 1981 inspection of the facility by the Nassau County Department of Health, improper spill control at the waste storage area was noted. The site is located in a mixed-use area, with commercial and industrial properties located to the south and west and residential properties located to the north and east. Within 4 miles of the site, over 300,000 people obtain drinking water from wells screened in the aquifers that are or could be potentially affected by contamination emanating from the site. The nearest well is located approximately 1,670 feet east-southeast and side-gradient to the site. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal actions.
