sarney farm

BENSON HILL RD

The Sarney Farm site is a location where non-permitted disposal of hazardous wastes was conducted in a farming area in Amenia, New York. Several small villages are located nearby. A former owner was permitted to use a 5-acre section of the property as a landfill for municipal wastes, but industrial and municipal wastes were disposed at locations throughout the site. The site received a variety of hazardous materials from 1965 until 1969. Groundwater contamination was confirmed by the Dutchess County Department of Health in 1982 and by New York State in 1984. The site is adjacent to Cleaver Swamp, which has provided water for farm livestock in the past. There are 22 residential wells utilizing the bedrock aquifer within 3,000 feet of the site. There are no public water supplies located within the area. Approximately 3,000 people live within 1 mile of the site; 10,000 live within 3 miles of the site.
