Piles of radioactive slag ore remain on-site. The radionuclides in these waste piles are not likely to migrate. Exposures from piles are not likely to be significant. The groundwater plumes beneath the site are not expected to affect any drinking water supply because they are moving away from supply wells towards Glen Cove Creek. If groundwater is not remediated, the continued discharge of contaminants to Glen Cove Creek over time may contaminate the environment.
Data indicates that drums and tanks are likely to be buried on-site.
Sampling data from Glen Cove Creek are inconclusive about the extent to which the site has contributed to the contamination in the creek. Clams and fish from Glen Cove Creek have not been analyzed for chemical contaminants. Surface soil samples contain some PCB and metal contamination. Subsurface soils were not analyzed. The screening evaluation of the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory identified emissions which could have a significant effect on the ambient air quality in the community around the Li Tungsten site.
