16.  Abstract (Limit: 200 word*)

  The  120-acre SMS  Instruments site is a commercial  area surrounding a military aircraft
  component repair  facility located in Deer Park,  Suffolk County,  New York.  Land use in
  the  area is predominantly light  industrial and  residential.  The site also is located
  directly adjacent to a large ground water recharge basin and in  the recharge zone of
  the  Magothy Aquifer,  a sole-source aquifer for  Long Island, which provides drinking
  water  for the surrounding residential population.   From 1967 to-1990, SMS Instruments
  used the site to  overhaul military aircraft components. Site operations consisted of
  cleaning,  painting,  degreasing,  refurbishing, metal-machining, and testing the
  components.   These operations also involved the purchase, storage, and use of chemical
  products and the  generation of hazardous wastes, which were stored onsite for disposal.
  From 1987 to 1989,  EPA conducted studies that revealed organic and inorganic
  contamination in  the soil and ground water.  Soil  contamination  was concentrated around
  three  areas: the  former leaching pool, the vicinity of the excavated underground
  storage  tank (UST),  and, to a lesser extent, a  drum storage area.  Until 1980,
  wastewater from the site was discharged directly into a leaching pool.  In 1980, a
  leaching pool,  into which untreated wastewater  from site operations had been
  discharged,  was pumped out and filled with sand; the discharge drains and pipes were

Abstract  (Continued)

filled with concrete; wastewater was drummed for disposal; and a leaking UST was emptied,
taken out of service, and later removed.  A 1989 ROD addressed onsite soil and ground
water contamination and provided for in-situ steam or air stripping of contaminated soil
and extraction, treatment, and reinjection of ground water.  This ROD addresses the
commercial area upgradient and surrounding the site in order to quantify potential
upgradient sources contributing to onsite ground water contamination, as OU2.  Soil-gas
screening and extensive ground water investigation revealed that the previous remedial
action successfully lowered contaminant concentrations to below health-based concentration
levels; therefore, there are no contaminants of concern affecting this site.

The selected remedial action for this site is no further action because EPA, in
consultation with the State, determined that the site does not pose a significant threat
to human health and the environment.  There are no present worth or O&M costs associated
with this no action remedy.

STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE

This decision document presents the selected remedial action for
the second operable unit of the SMS Instruments, Inc. site
(Site), which was chosen in accordance with the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601-9675, and the National
Contingency Plan (NCP).  This decision document explains the
factual and legal basis for selecting the remedy for this Site.
The information supporting this remedial action decision is
contained in the administrative record for this Site.  The
administrative record index is attached (Appendix III).

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
concurs with the "No Further Action" remedy, as per the attached
letter (Appendix IV).


DESCRIPTION OF THE SELECTED REMEDY - NO FURTHER ACTION

This operable unit represents the second and last operable unit
planned for this Site.  The first operable unit addresses the
treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater underlying the
Site, which are contaminated primarily with volatile organic
compounds.  This second operable unit addresses the potential
upgradient groundwater contamination at the Site.  The United
States Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA) in consultation with
the State of New York has determined that there is no evidence of
contamination upgradient of the Site contributing to the
contamination at the Site; therefore, remediation for the second
operable unit is not appropriate.  Thus "No Further Action" is
the selected remedy  for the second operable unit.

-------
DECLARATION

In accordance with the requirements of CERCLA,  as amended, and
the NCP, it has been determined that no remedial action is
necessary for the second operable unit to protect human health
and the environment at the Site.  Present and future cleanup
activities conducted by EPA will remediate the significant
contamination present at the Site.  Because this remedy will not
result in hazardous substances remaining on-site above health
based levels, the five-year review will not apply to this action.

SITE NAME, LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The SMS Instruments, Inc. site  (Site) is a 1.5-acre facility
located at 120 Marcus Boulevard in Deer Park, New York (see
Figure 1).  The facility was in operation from 1967 to 1990.  It
is located in a light industrial and residential area of Deer
Park and consists of a 34,000 square-foot (ft2) building  on  a
1.5-acre lot.  About 90% of the lot is paved with asphalt.  The
immediate vicinity also includes more than 50 industrial
facilities within a one-mile radius and a large groundwater
recharge basin located directly adjacent to the Site on the east
side (see Figure 2).  The Site is located in the recharge zone of
the Magothy aquifer, a sole-source aquifer for Long Island,  which
is the only source of drinking water for the surrounding
residential population of more than 124,000 persons.

According to the Suffolk County Department of Health Services
(SCDHS), public water is used in the vicinity of the Site by the
majority of residents although some private wells may still be in
use.  Private wells are most likely used for irrigation purposes;
however, the possibility of potable use remains.   The nearest
public water supply well is located approximately one mile
southwest and downgradient from the Site.

The Site is not located in a floodplain, wetland, or the coastal
zone as designated by the State of New York.  Additionally,  there
are no federally designated endangered or threatened species in
the proximity of the Site.

The study area for the second operable unit of Site investigation
includes a 120-acre commercial area upgradient and surrounding
the Site.  This area is marked by Grand Boulevard to the south
and Commack Avenue to the east.  The northern boundary is just
north of Long Island Avenue, including Evergreen Place and
Prospect Place (dead end roads feeding to Long Island Avenue).
The western boundary line is CarlIs Straight Path.  Figure 3
shows the extent of the study areas for the initial and second
operable units of Site investigation.


SITE HISTORY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

SMS Instruments started operations in early 1967 when Mr. Sol
Schusheim (now deceased) rented the property from Marcus
Associates of Farmingdale, New York.  In April 1967, the Site was
sold to Ogden Technology, and, in September 1973, Mr. Schusheim
purchased the Site property at 120 Marcus Boulevard.  The
facility has been inactive since 1990.

The primary operation at the Site was the overhauling of military
aircraft components.  Overhauling operations consisted of
cleaning, painting, degreasing, refurbishing, metal-machining,

-------
and testing of the components.   These activities involved the
purchase, storage and use of chemical products and the generation
of hazardous wastes which were  stored for disposal.

Until January 1980, wastewater  from Site operations was
discharged directly, without treatment,  to a leaching pool on the
south side of the property (see Figure 2) .  Samples collected
from the leaching pool in 1979  and 1980 by the SCDHS contained
levels of various metals (e.g., copper,  chromium,  lead, cadmium,
silver, nickel and zinc), as well as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g.,
benzene, toluene, and xylene) and halogenated aliphatic
hydrocarbons (e.g., 1,1,1-trichloroethane and methylene
chloride).

In May 1980, the leaching pool  was pumped out and filled with
sand, and the discharge drains  and pipes were filled with
concrete.  After closing the leaching pool, SMS drummed the
wastewater for disposal.  In 1981, SCDHS ordered a leaking
underground storage tank (UST)  on the property to be emptied and
taken out of service.  The tank was removed from the ground in
1988, in accordance with State  and local regulations.

The Site was proposed for the National Priorities List (NPL)  in
October 1984 by the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation.  In June 1986, EPA included the Site on the NPL.

EPA performed a remedial investigation and feasibility study
(RI/FS) at the Site from May 1987 to February 1989.  The RI
identified organic and inorganic contamination in the soils and
groundwater.  Soil contamination was concentrated around three
areas: the former leaching pool, the vicinity of the excavated
UST, and, to a lesser extent, a drum storage area.  Organic and
inorganic contamination was found in on-site and downgradient
monitoring wells.  Contamination was also detected in upgradient
wells, indicating that the SMS  facility may not be the sole
source of groundwater contamination found on-site.

The RI/FS and Proposed Remedial Action Plan were released to the
public in July 1989.  A Record of Decision (ROD) was signed in
September 1989.  The remedial actions specified in the ROD
included: in-situ steam or air stripping of contaminated soil and
groundwater extraction, treatment and reinjection to restore the
upper aquifer quality to meet federal and State drinking water
standards.  The September 1989  ROD also specified that a second
operable unit be designated and a second RI/FS be performed to
determine potential upgradient sources of contamination.


SCOPE AND ROLE OF OPERABLE UNIT

This is the second and last of two operable units planned for the
Site.  The objective of this operable unit was to investigate a

-------
120-acre commercial area upgradient and surrounding the Site in
order to identify potential upgradient sources contributing to
the groundwater contamination at the Site.  As indicated above,
the first operable unit addresses remediation of contaminated
soils and groundwater underlying the Site.


HIGHLIGHTS OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The RI and the Proposed Plan for the second operable unit were
released to the public on July 15, 1993.  These documents were
made available in both the administrative record file at the EPA
Documentation Control Center in New York City and in two
information repositories maintained at the Deer Park Library in
Deer Park, New York and in the Department of Environmental
Control in Babylon, New York.  The notice of the public meeting
and the availability of the above-referenced documents appeared
in the Babylon Beacon on Thursday July 22, 1993.  The public
comment period was held from July 15, 1993 to August 16, 1993.

On July 28, 1993, EPA conducted a public meeting at the Community
Presbyterian Church in Deer Park, New York to inform local offi-
cials and interested citizens about the Superfund process, to
present the results of the second operable unit RI and EPA's
preferred "No Further Action" remedy, and to respond to any
questions from area residents and other interested parties.

EPA did not receive any comments regarding the RI or Proposed
Plan at the public meeting, nor were any written comments
concerning the "No Further Action" remedy received during the
public comment period.  As a result, a Responsiveness Summary was
not prepared.  The New York State Department of Health, however,
requested that private wells in the area be inventoried and
sampled, which is outside the scope of work for this second
operable unit.  Therefore, EPA will respond to this request
separately from this action.


SITE CHARACTERISTICS

The initial RI/FS for the Site was conducted by EPA from May 1987
to February 1989.  The results of the study indicated that the
highest concentration of contaminants were found in the leaching
pool, the UST and, to a lesser extent, the drum storage area  (see
Figure 2).  The highest level of volatile organic compound (VOC)
contamination in the groundwater was 24,000 micrograms per liter
(ug/1) of trichloroethene.  Other prevalent VOCs included xylenes
(2,200 ug/1), ethylbenzene  (240 ug/1) and chlorobenzene (670
ug/1).

The second operable unit RI was planned using a two-phased
approach: 1) the Phase I investigation consisted of a grid-based,

-------
soil-gas screening to assess areas of potential contamination
upgradient of the Site and 2)  a proposed Phase II investigation,
if necessary, consisting of an extensive groundwater
investigation upgradient of the Site.

The initial field investigation for Phase I consisted of a soil-
gas screening and soil-gas survey.  A coarse-grid, soil-gas
screening was performed throughout the study area to identify
potential areas of concern to be investigated further during a
more detailed soil-gas survey.  Figure 4 identifies the areas of
soil-gas sampling, located northeast of the Site, and Table 1
lists the HNu readings which correspond to specific grid areas.
A total of nine grid areas were screened, including three
designated as background areas (namely, Areas H-15, H-18 and I-
18).  As Table 1 indicates, the most significant contamination
was found in Areas G-15, F-18 and G-18.  The highest contaminant
HNu reading of 250 parts per million (ppm) was measured in Area
G-15.  Areas F-18 and G-18 had maximum HNu readings of 100 ppm.
This information suggested that there may be potential sources of
contamination to the northeast of the Site that may be impacting
the groundwater underlying the Site.

In order to determine if the above-identfied upgradient
contamination was affecting groundwater underlying the Site, the
groundwater flow direction was determined by installing six
piezometers (PZ-01 through PZ-06) upgradient of the Site (see
Figure 5).  Groundwater level measurements were recorded four
times during 1992 (see Table 2) and were used to determine the
direction of groundwater flow.  Figure 6 is a potentiometric
surface map which shows that the relatively homogeneous,
isotropic Upper Glacial Aquifer groundwater flows in a south-
southeasterly direction beneath the study area.  The water table
in the vicinity of the recharge basin shows a slight mounding
effect (as indicated by the slightly elevated water level of
55.72 at location MW-03), causing minor radial groundwater flow.

In order to verify the soil-gas survey results with respect to
potential groundwater contamination, two rounds of groundwater
sampling were conducted.  Round One was conducted in August 1992
and Round Two in December 1992.  Groundwater samples from two
upgradient on-site monitoring wells  (MW-02 and MW-03), two
upgradient off-site monitoring wells (MW-08 and MW-09) and three
upgradient piezometers  (PZ-01, PZ-04, and PZ-05) were collected
for VOC analyses  (see Figure 5).

An abbreviated summary of the most significant groundwater
contaminants (1,1 dichlorethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and
chloroethane) detected in the upgradient monitoring wells is
presented in Table 3.  This table also includes a summary of the
levels of the contaminants found in the upgradient piezometers.
Table 4 lists the complete analytical results for all
contaminants.

-------
The highest levels of contaminants were found in MW-03, namely
90 ug/1 of 1,1 dichloroethane, 670 ug/1 of 1,1,1-trichloroethane
and 83 ug/1 of chloroethane  (see Table 3).  These levels were
attributed to the mounding effect from the nearby recharge basin
mentioned above  (see Figure 5).  Lower levels of contaminants
were found in MW-09 which may also be due to possible mounding
from the recharge basin.  MW-06S, located near the leaching pit,
was also sampled.  The highest VOC-concentration found was 96
ug/1 of 1,2 dichloroethene.  High semi-volatile contaminants
included 570 ug/1 of chlorobenzene, 290 ug/1 of ethylbenzene and
2000 ug/1 of xylenes.  As indicated by the analytical results
shown in Table 4, nearly all of the other contaminants tested for
in monitoring wells MW-02, MW-03, MW-06S (Round 1), MW-08 and MW-
09 were reported below the method detection limit of 10 ug/1 for
most samples.

Thus, results from the two rounds of groundwater sampling
indicated some low levels of volatile organic compounds in both
the upgradient on-site wells and off-site wells.  Analytical
results from the upgradient piezometers (PZ-01, PZ-04 and PZ-05)
located north/northwest of the Site revealed estimated
concentrations of VOCs below the method detection limits of 5
ug/1 (see Tables 3 and 4).  These data indicate that the
upgradient groundwater is not contributing to contamination at
the Site.  [The 22 ug/1 of acetone reported in Table 4 for PZ-04
was deemed to be a laboratory contaminant, as acetone was also
found in the laboratory blank.]

Groundwater sampling was also performed during the remedial
design of the groundwater extraction system which is part of the
first operable unit groundwater remedy.  Samples were collected
from upgradient drive points DP-A, DP-B, DP-C and DP-P at depths
of 25, 50 and 75 feet (Figure 5).  Table 5 shows the analytical
results at sampling point DP-C at depths of 25, 50 and 75 feet.
All other drive point locations can be found in Appendix A of the
RI document.  The analytical results indicated that the levels of
all VOCs were below the detection limit of the analyses, the
majority of which were at 5 ug/1.

Hence, since the groundwater flows in a south-southeasterly
direction, EPA has concluded that the potential sources of
contamination to the northeast, particularly in grids F-18, G-15
and G-18 (see Table 1 and Figure 4), are not contributing to the
contamination at the Site; therefore, a detailed Phase II
groundwater investigation upgradient of the Site was not
conducted.  It is also noted that any potential low level VOC
contamination upgradient of the Site, such as that found in MW-08
and MW-09, would be captured by the groundwater extraction system
which is part of the first operable unit remedy.

-------
SUMMARY OF SITE RISKS

Based upon the results of the RI,  a baseline risk assessment was
conducted to estimate the risks associated with current and
future site conditions.  The baseline risk assessment estimates
the human health risk which could result from the contamination
at the site if no remedial action were taken.

Human Health Risk Assessment

A four-step process is utilized for assessing site-related human
health risks for a reasonable maximum exposure scenario:  Hazard
Identification—identifies the contaminants of concern at the
site based on several factors such as toxicity, frequency of
occurrence, and concentration.  Exposure Assessment—estimates
the magnitude of actual and/or potential human exposures, the
frequency and duration of these exposures, and the pathways
(e.g., ingesting contaminated well-water)  by which humans are
potentially exposed.  Toxicity Assessment—determines the types
of adverse health effects associated with chemical exposures and
the relationship between magnitude of exposure (dose) and severi-
ty of adverse effects (response).   Risk Characterization—summa-
rizes and combines outputs of the exposure and toxicity assess-
ments to provide a quantitative assessment of site-related risks.

EPA conducted a baseline risk assessment to evaluate the poten-
tial risks to human health associated with the Site in its
current state.  The Risk Assessment focused on contaminants in
the groundwater which are likely to pose significant risks to
human health and the environment.   A summary of the contaminants
of concern for human receptors in groundwater is provided in
Table 6.

EPA's baseline risk assessment addressed the potential risks to
human health by considering several potential exposure pathways
by which the public may be exposed to contaminant releases at the
Site under current and future land-use conditions.  No ground-
water receptors are currently present at the site; therefore,
only potential future receptors were assessed in the risk
evaluation.  Residential (adult, child) and light industrial
(adult) exposure scenarios were chosen based on projected future
land uses in the study area.  For the residential groundwater
ingestion and showering pathway, adult and child (1-6 years age)
receptors were considered.  For the light industrial groundwater
ingestion pathway, only adult receptors were considered.
Potential future exposure pathways are listed in Table 7.  The
reasonable maximum exposure was evaluated.

Under current EPA guidelines, the likelihood of carcinogenic
(cancer-causing) and noncarcinogenic effects due to exposure to
site chemicals is considered separately.  An assumption  is made
that the carcinogenic toxic effects of the site-related  chemicals

-------
would be additive.  The same assumption is made for the
noncarcinogens found at a site.

Potential carcinogenic risks were evaluated using the cancer
slope factors developed by EPA for the contaminants of concern.
Cancer slope factors (SFs) have been developed by EPA's Carcino-
genic Risk Assessment Verification Endeavor for estimating excess
lifetime cancer risks associated with exposure to potentially
carcinogenic chemicals.  SFs, which are expressed in units of
(milligrams/kilogram-day (mg/kg-day) J'1,  are multiplied by the
estimated intake of a potential carcinogen, in mg/kg-^day, to
generate an upper-bound estimate of the excess lifetime cancer
risk associated with exposure to the compound at that intake
level.  The term "upper bound" reflects the conservative estimate
of the risks calculated from the SF.  Use of this approach makes
the underestimation of the risk highly unlikely.  The SFs for the
contaminants of concern are presented in Table 8.

For known or suspected carcinogens, EPA considers excess upper-
bound individual lifetime cancer risks of between 10"4 to 10*  to
be acceptable.  This level indicates that an individual has not
greater than a one-in-ten-thousand to one-in-a-million chance of
developing cancer as a result of site-related exposure to a
carcinogen over a 70-year period under specific exposure condi-
tions at a site.

The highest cumulative upper-bound cancer risk at the Site,
involving the future residential adult scenario, was SxlO"6, which
is within EPA's acceptable range (see Table 9).  These estimates
were developed by taking into account various conservative
assumptions about the likelihood of a person being exposed to
these media.

Noncarcinogenic risks were assessed using a hazard index  (HI)
approach, based on a comparison of expected contaminant intakes
and safe levels of intake (Reference Doses  (RfDs)).  RfDs have
been developed by EPA for indicating the potential for adverse
health effects.  RfDs, which are expressed in units of mg/kg-day,
are estimates of daily exposure levels for humans which are
thought to be safe over a lifetime  (including sensitive
individuals).  Estimated intakes of chemicals from environmental
media (e.g., the amount of a chemical ingested from contaminated
drinking water) are compared to the RfD to derive the hazard
quotient for the contaminant in the particular medium.  The HI is
obtained by adding the hazard quotients for all compounds across
all media that impact a particular receptor population.

An HI greater than 1.0 indicates that the potential exists for
noncarcinogenic health effects to occur as a result of site-
related exposures.  The HI provides a useful reference point for
gauging the potential significance of multiple contaminant
exposures within a single medium or across media.  The RfDs  for

-------
the contaminants of concern at the Site are presented in Table
10.  A summary of the noncarcinogenic risks associated with these
chemicals across various exposure pathways is found in Table 11.

Table 11 shows that the maximum HI for noncarcinogenic effects
from groundwater ingestion and inhalation (reasonable maximum
exposure for children) is 0.06; therefore, noncarcinogenic
effects are highly unlikely to occur from these exposure routes.
The noncarcinogenic risk was attributable to several compounds,
including 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethene,  1,1,1-
trichloroethane and chloroethane.

It should be noted that, since the study area is industrial in
nature, it is unlikely that the area would be developed for resi-
dential use.  The residential exposure scenario was used as a
means by which the most conservative estimate of the site risks
could be assessed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE "NO FURTHER ACTION11 REMEDY

The risk assessment indicates that the levels of contaminants
present in the groundwater upgradient of the Site present risks
which fall within or below EPA's allowable risk range.  In
addition, sampling results indicate that, with the exception of a
few instances above analytical detection limits in the
groundwater, the contaminants do not exceed these limits in the
groundwater.

Based upon the findings of the RI performed at the Site, EPA, in
consultation with NYSDEC, has determined that the Site does not
pose a significant threat to human health or the environment.
EPA; therefore, has selected a "No Further Action" remedy for the
Site.  Since this remedy will not result in hazardous substances
remaining on-site above health-based levels, the five-year review
will not apply to this action.

DOCUMENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

There are no significant changes from the preferred alternative,
as presented in the Proposed Plan.
