EPA Superfund site
FACET ENTERPRISES, INC.
Exposure status: insufficient data
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
As of May 2026, the Facet Enterprises, Inc. Superfund site is considered “Insufficient Data to make a Human Exposure evaluation” (HEID) due to an off‑site groundwater plume that requires further delineation. Additional information is needed to determine the extent of site‑related groundwater contamination beyond the industrial property, whether non‑site sources may be contributing, and whether actual or reasonably anticipated exposures (for example, use of private wells or other interactions with groundwater) could occur above acceptable risk‑based levels. The vapor intrusion (VI) pathway is being addressed under a 2021 remedy for residential and commercial properties; mitigation systems are being installed and operated where needed.
Planned activities to collect sufficient information include completing off‑site groundwater investigations by the potentially responsible parties (PRPs); installing and sampling additional monitoring wells beyond the facility boundary to delineate plume extent, trends, and migration; evaluating potential non‑site source contributions; and, where applicable, sampling private wells to assess exposure potential. EPA will evaluate the new data through the ongoing Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) and a Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) focused on groundwater exposure pathways. EPA currently anticipates there will be sufficient data to make a Human Exposure determination by March 2028 because off‑site plume delineation and the HHRA will be completed by that time and VI mitigation will continue to protect building occupants.
If you live or work near the site, you can reduce your potential exposure by using municipal water where available or testing private wells before use, allowing access for groundwater and indoor air sampling if requested, and following any local health advisories. Maintain any installed mitigation system per agency guidance. For more information, contact the EPA Community Involvement Coordinator Larisa Romanowski via the site webpage or at (518) 407-0400 or [email protected]. EPA will continue to meet with residents and stakeholders, issue public notices and updated fact sheets, and keep the site profile on EPA’s website up to date.
