The draft investigation work plan, called a “Remedial Investigation Work Plan,” was submitted to NYSDEC under New York’s Brownfield Cleanup Program. The investigation will be performed by Port Chester OZ Fund III QOZB, LLC with oversight by NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health.
NYSDEC is accepting written comments about the Draft RIWP for 30 days, from May 4 through June 3, 2022.

The investigation will define the nature and extent of contamination in soil, surface water, groundwater and any other parts of the environment that may be affected.
Previous investigations have detected volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, metals and pesticides in soil and/or groundwater on site.
Key components of the investigation work include drilling and sampling soil borings to identify possible on-site sources of contamination; collecting soil vapor samples; and installing and sampling ground water wells to monitor impacts from areas of concern both on-site and off-site.
NYSDEC will consider public comments, revise the plan as necessary, and approve the work plan. NYSDOH must concur with the plan. After the work plan is approved, the activities detailed in the work plan will be implemented.
