Site Description
The Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC) owns the Electronics Park (EP) facility, which is located on Electronics Parkway in the Town of Salina, New York. The EP facility was constructed in the mid-1940's by the General Electric (GE) Company. Ownership was transferred from GE to the Martin Marietta Corporation in April 1993. In March 1995, Martin Marietta merged with the Lockheed Corporation, becoming Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMC). In September 1996, ownership of the EP facility was transferred to the Empire State Development Corporation. However, LMC remains responsible for addressing contamination associated with the Electronics Park operations.
In the past, various electronic components were manufactured
at the Electronics Park facility. These included television picture tubes,
semi-conductors, transmitters and receivers, and specialty products. Presently,
sonar and radar systems are manufactured at the facility.
Lockheed Martin Corp. has completed an investigation of releases of hazardous
waste at the facility. The company conducted an extensive soil and groundwater
investigation to evaluate the site. As a result of past manufacturing
and operations, a variety of chemicals used at the facility have impacted
soils, sediment and groundwater.
Site Responsibility and Legal Instrument
New York State Resource Conservation and Recover Act (RCRA) Order on Consent, Article 27 Title 9 and Article 71, Title 27.
Permit Status
Permit Exempt, because this facility currently stores only small quantities of hazardous waste for less than 90 days.
Potential Threats and Contaminants
During the RCRA facility investigation (RFI) of the site,
the company discovered elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), heavy metals, and hazardous constituents
found in petroleum-based products in on-site soils, sediments and groundwater.
The groundwater contamination is limited to the facility property and
does not pose a threat to the drinking water supply. In addition, elevated
levels of PCBs and metals were discovered in sediment of an off-site stream
(West Branch of Bloody Brook).
The section of the stream identified as containing the highest concentrations
of cadmium and PCBs is approximately 750 feet long, six feet wide and
located south of the New York State Thruway. This section runs through
a residential area. Since the discovery, contaminated sediment was removed
from the stream bed in 1998 and transported off-site for disposal. On-site
contaminated soils and groundwater have been addressed though a number
of remedial measures.
Cleanup Approach and Progress
On-Site Groundwater
Following the Resource Conservation and Recover Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation,
Lockheed Martin installed a groundwater collection and treatment system
that continues to capture contaminated groundwater for treatment. Monitoring
wells routinely sample at the perimeter of the Electronics Park facility
continue to determine that groundwater contamination is not leaving the
site.
Former Gasoline Storage Area
A bioventing treatment system to address contaminated soil was enhanced
in June 2003 by installing two additional air sparging wells. The progress
of this remedial effort will be determined by the use of monitoring wells.
Former Drum Storage Area
Contaminated soils were removed and disposed of off-site.
Storm Sewers
Contaminated groundwater entered old storm sewers and was transported
off-site into Bloody Brook. Repair and replacement of many storm sewers
has occurred, and contaminated groundwater is collected and treated on-site
prior to discharge under a DEC water discharge permit. Additional repairs
or replacement will be performed to sewers on as needed.
Off-Site Stream Contamination
Cleanup of contaminated sediments from Bloody Brook has been completed
in a 750 feet section south of the New York State Thruway in 1998. Contaminated
sediments were removed and disposed of in a solid waste landfill.
Final Cleanup Status or Projection
- Final Remedy Construction (RCRAInfo database code CA550) has been achieved.
- Final Remedy Decision (RCRAInfo database code CA400) has been achieved.
