County: Queens Lead Agency: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Project Title: Availability of Voluntary Cleanup Project Remedial Action Work Plan for Comment, Former Maspeth Substation, Site No. V00326-2 Project Location: Region 2, 57-77 Rust Street, Maspeth, Queens, New York, 10078
Brief Project Description: The Site was formerly an electrical substation which housed transformers and other PCB-containing equipment. Operations ceased in 1988. Site investigations conducted prior and after implementation of the Voluntary Cleanup Agreement revealed the presence of transformer oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). An Interim Remedial Measure consisting of the excavation and removal of PCB-contaminated soil took place prior to the sale of the property in 1996. An additional Interim Remedial Measure consisting of removal of PCB-contaminated NAPL from monitoring wells on the Site began in October 1999 and is on-going. The Volunteer has submitted the Remedial Action Plan proposing the following:
Excavation and removal of soil, NAPL and groundwater (to approximately 2 feet below the water table, which is approximately 16 feet below grade).
Prior to initiating excavation, sheeting will be driven at the limits of the excavation to provide structural stability and allow for maximum excavation and removal of contaminants.
Remedial goals will be attained when soil monitoring data indicate that PCB concentrations are below 1 ppm for surface soil and 10 ppm for subsurface soil. The goal is to also achieve 6 NYCRR Part 703 standards for Class GA groundwater in on-site monitoring wells. Once the excavation is completed and the Site is backfilled with clean soil, a minimum of eight additional quarterly monitoring well sampling and analysis events will be conducted. Remedial monitoring will be performed until low levels are measured and the point of diminishing returns is reached, as determined by NYSDEC. If these samples remain consistent, the project will be closed out. These requirements will be contained in the site’s Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring Plan.
A Site Management Plan would be required to control residual contamination in soil.
A Deed Restriction would be required to monitor residual contamination.

Notice is made that Mr. Daniel Tran, Partner of:
S. KOHAN FRENCH CLEANERS
73-17 Main Street
DEC ID: 2-6306-00727
§232.3 Variances, allow Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facility owners who meet the specific requirements of this section to petition the Department to be relieved of certain Part 232 requirements. In this instance, Mr. Daniel Tran, Partner of S. Kohan French Cleaners
sought a §232.3 Variance in relief of the §232.6 requirement to install only new fourth generation equipment at an existing facility. In particular, in January 2002 S. Kohan French Cleaners purchased and installed a used COLUMBIA, model MEC 340/2F, S/N 99K3501, fourth generation perchloroethylene dry cleaning machine. At that time a used, refurbished fourth generation machine was considered "as new" pursuant to a then current DEC policy interpretation which was rescinded on May 28, 2003. Please see the PUBLIC NOTICE on this policy matter published in the May 28, 2003 edition of the New York State Environmental Notice Bulletin. The Department grants S. KOHAN FRENCH CLEANERS, 73-17 Main Street, Flushing, NY 11367; DEC ID 2-6306-00727, a variance from the requirements of 232.6 and 232.16 for this one instance. This variance shall be maintained by operating the facility in full compliance with Part 232 and any and all other applicable regulations. Permitting and Compliance Section
