Public Health Assessment for Li Tungsten Corporation, Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NYD986882660
The Li Tungsten Site, which is on the National Priorities List, is on the North Shore of Nassau County, near Hempstead Harbor in the City of Glen Cove. Low levels of radioactive slag are in piles throughout the site and drums of radioactive slag are in an on-site building. Trespassers have probably come in contact with on-site surface soils, waste water, and sediment contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and metals. Trespassers may have also been exposed to external gamma radiation from on-site drums and piles of low level radioactive slag/ore. Glen Cove Creek sediments are contaminated with metals and people could be exposed to contaminants if sediments are dredged and placed where they may be available for human contact.
