little valley

INTERSECT OF RTES 242, 353, AND BAKER RD

The Little Valley site is located in a rural, agricultural area between the Village of Little Valley and the City of Salamanca. In 1982, the Cattaraugus County Health Department (CCHD) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) detected trichloroethylene (TCE) in nearby private wells. A plume of TCE extends approximately 7 miles from the southern end of Little Valley to the northern edge of Salamanca, which is part of the Allegheny Indian Reservation. NYSDEC installed a number of monitoring wells in the area to investigate possible sources of the contamination, including a former drum storage area, a private disposal site next to the former drum storage area, an inactive municipal landfill which accepted industrial wastes, and industrial facilities. There are approximately 200 residences and small businesses in the immediate vicinity of the site which use private wells as the sole source of drinking water.
