55 MOTOR PARKWAY
The Liberty Industrial Finishing Superfund site includes a thirty-acre property located at 55 Motor Avenue in the Village of Farmingdale, Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County, New York. The Site was used for airplane parts manufacturing and associated metal finishing activities during World War II and the Korean War. In the late 1950's, the Site was converted to an industrial park and was used for a variety of industrial operations including metal plating and finishing and fiberglass product manufacturing. Since the 1980's, the Site had been used for light manufacturing and warehousing. A groundwater plume contaminated with organic and inorganic substances underlies the 30-acre former industrial area and extends approximately a mile to the south (designated as Plume A). Portions of the Massapequa Preserve, a nature preserve located about one-half mile to the south, were also contaminated from past activities and addressed as part of the Superfund cleanup. A separate plume of organic contamination, designated as Plume B, originates to the north of the Liberty site and migrates in a southerly direction before commingling with a portion of Plume A. Site Responsibility : This site is being addressed through Federal, State, and potentially responsible party (PRP) actions. In August 2004, a Consent Judgment between the United States and responsible parties became effective. The Consent Judgment requires the responsible parties to implement the primary cleanup described below. Additional studies and cleanup are being undertaken by State authorities in connection with Plume B
