Data limitations: Proximity to a Superfund site boundary does not mean your property is contaminated. EPA site boundaries show the area designated for cleanup, not the full extent of contamination. Groundwater plumes can extend beyond site boundaries. This tool shows publicly available EPA federal data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by EPA, and is not a substitute for a professional environmental assessment.
About this site's exposure pathways
There is insufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the LCP Chemicals Inc. Superfund Site. The site is currently fenced and access is controlled. EPA is currently conducting a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study to identify the nature and extent of contamination at the site. Preliminary sampling of soil, surface water, and sediment and groundwater revealed elevated levels of mercury, and other metals. Site contaminants potentially impact the Arthur Kill, which is used for recreational boating and fishing. Eating contaminated fish, shellfish, crabs, and other marine organisms and accidental ingestion of site soils and sediments may be potential health threats.
EPA ensures community participation throughout the remedial process by meeting with residents and affected stakeholders, issuing public notices and updating fact sheets. A site profile has been established on the EPA website to keep the community informed of recent progress at the site. Additionally, an EPA Community Involvement Coordinator is assigned to the site and can address specific community concerns as they arise.
