Engineering Investigations at Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites in the State of New York Phase I - Preliminary Investigation Tronic Plating Company, Inc. NYSDEC No. 152028 EPA No. Not Available
This report presents the results of our Preliminary Investigation of the
Tronic Plating Company, Inc. site in Farmingdale, Suffolk County, New York.
This preliminary investigation fulfills the requirements of Phase I of our Contract
No. D000452 to perform engineering investigations at 40 inactive hazardous waste
sites in the State of New York. Phase JI involves field investigation services at
the sites.
The objective of Phase I was to:

This report contains six sections. Section 1.0 includes a description of
the site. Section 2.0 presents the preliminary HRS work sheets, the HRS
documentation records, and EPA site assessment forms (2070-12 and 2070-13).
Section 3.0 provides a brief summary of the history of site activities. Section
4.0 includes a discussion of existing site data. Section 5.0 provides on assessment
of the data adequacy identifying major data gaps. Lastly, Section 6.0 presents
the recommended Phase II Site Investigation Work Pion and costs. The sampling
and analysis plan and the health and safety plan ore not included. These ore to
be supplied by NYSDEC.
Tronic Plating Co. Inc.is on active electroplating and anodizing facility
- which performs industrial plating for the electronics industry. State and County
authorities have determined that hazardous wastes consisting primarily of heavy
metals were discharged from storage tonks and leaching pools on the site. The
owner of the Tronic Plating Co. site is reportedly Jerrold Roth (President) of
Central Avenue, Farmingdale, New York.
•
The HRS scores developed for the Tronic Plating Co., Inc. site ore as
follows:
SM = 41.60 (Sgw = 71.97 Ssw = 0.0 S0 = 0.0 )
SFE = N/A
soc = 12.so
The adequacy of data must be evaluated in view of the source of the available
information. Tronic Plating denied us permission to conduct on on-site inspection
of their facility. Therefore, oil of the currently available site specific data
were token from existing SCDHS site inspection reports and laboratory test
results. No known analyses and testing of soils or water from the site have
been conducted.

The work pion for Phase ll (field investigations) is specifically designed
to address the data gaps identified, and confirm allegations made regarding waste
disposal. The location, extent, character, and transport mechanism of the disposed
wastes are unknown. We have proposed a limited geophysical survey to better
define the possible presence of contaminant plumes. We also propose to install
three shallow (30 .±. ft.) monitoring wells, and to conduct ground water sampling
and analysis. A detailed description of the work plan and costs is provided in
Section 6.0. The total estimated cost for Phase II investigations at the Tronic
Plating site is $22,584.
If there are any questions or comments concerning the work plan or any
other portion of the Phase I report, please do not hesitate to contact us.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Tronic Plating Company Inc. is located at 168 Central Avenue in
Farmingdale, New York (Figure I). The site is located in southwestern Suffolk
County, approximately 11/i miles east of the Nassau County line. Tronic Plating
Co., Inc. currently occupies the southeast corner of a long building in an industrial
park area. The site presently consists of the building, 2 inside above ground
waste storage tanks, 4 below ground leaching pools, and a storm drain in the
paved area to the northeast of the building (SCDHS 1983).
At the time of the site survey (WCC, 1983), Tronic Plating was an active
electroplating facility and did not grant wee permission to visit the facility. As
a result the site survey was limited to the general vicinity of the site and details
of waste storage is based on available documents only. The area surrounding
the site is generally paved with other commercial and industrial facilities located
in the vicinity. Cemeteries are located Y- mile east and approximately 1,000 ft.
south of the site.

11.2 Prohibition of Eyp~ss of TreatT~nt ~orks
a. Bypass or diversion of wastes from any portion of the treatment facilities is prohibited except:
(1) Where unavoidable to prevent loss of life, serious injury or severe property Clarrage. Severe property darrage includes substantial pl·iysical narra.ge to property; daJ?age to the treat1J1ent facilities which would cause tr.em to become inoperable; or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonablsr be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. It does not include economic loss caused by delays in production; and
(2) vJ-,ere triere are no feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxjliary trcatrr.ent facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or JT'aintenance during nonral periods of equipment downtime; and

(3) vlhere the permittee promptly but in no event later t~ 24 hours after the permittee learns of the bypass, submits notice of the bypass or an anticipated need for bypass to the Department containing the inforrration requir~ by Section S of this Part.
Where the permittee knows in advance of the need for the bypass, this notification sh:Ul be submitted for approval to the Department before the date of bypass. Bypass shaJ.l be either:
(i) Prohibited by the Dep3.rbnent in consideration of the adverse effects of the bypass and the factors set out above, or
(ii) Allowed under conditions determined to be necessary by the Department to minimize any adverse effects.
s-pecial Condition - DiSfOSal SystB~S with Septic Tanks
If a septic tank is.:.instaJled as part of Hie disposal system, it shaJl be inspected by U1e :pE;,.~ittee or his agent for scum and s1udge accumu1ation at intervals not to exceed one year's duration, and such accumulation will be removed before the depth of either exceeds one-fourth (~) of the liquid depth so that no set"tleable solids or scum will leave in the septic tank effluent. Such accwT.ulation srall be disposed of in an ap~r0ved rr6Jlner.
Sludge Disp:?sal
a. The storage or disposal of collected screenings, sludges, other solids, or precipitates separated from the permitted discrarges and/or intake or supply water by the permittee shall be done in such a rra..nner as to prevent creation of nuisance conditions or entry of such-rrater·ials into classified waters or their tributaries, and in a rra.nner approved by the Department. P..:ny live fish, shellfish, or ot1ier anirrals collected or trapped as a result of intake water screening or treatment rray be returned to their y;ater bc<ly habitat. The permittee shall IJB.intain reC'Ords of disposal on all effluent screenings, sludges 211d other solids associated with the discha.J.~ge(s) herein described.
