ATSDR - PHA - Hooker-102nd Street, Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York
NIAGARA FALLS, NIAGARA COUNTY, NEW YORK ... The Public Health Assessment states that 102nd Street is not the sole contributor ofcontamination to the Niagara River. It also states that the current fish advisory is based uponPCB data, which is not a chemical of concern at 102nd Street Landfill. We agree thatorganochlorine analyses of fish caught in the upper Niagara River will not give specific data onthe impact of the landfill's discharges on fish. However, 102nd Street does contribute to the totalchemical loadings to the Niagara River. Discharges from the site, combined with loadings fromother sources could result in persons being exposed to contamination in fish at levels of publichealth concern. The Public Health Assessment evaluates total exposures to contamination at aspecific exposure point and may include both site-related and non-site-related contamination. ... [Read More]

NYPA Facilities: Niagara Power Project
With power production drastically cut, tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs were at stake and a long-simmering debate over Niagara's hydropower rights had come to a head. In 1957, Congress passed the Niagara Redevelopment Act, which granted the Power Authority a federal license to fully develop the United States' share of the Niagara River's hydroelectric potential. Within three years—on exactly the day predicted by Robert Moses, the "Master Builder" and then chairman of the Power Authority—the Niagara project produced first power. ... [Read More]

Based on the information reviewed, the 102nd Street Landfill in the City of Niagara Falls,Niagara County, posed a public health hazard because of past exposures to site contaminants inon-site and off-site surface soils and on-site wastes which cannot be characterized because ofinsufficient data. This site currently poses an indeterminate public health hazard because it isunknown to what extent persons may be exposed to surface soils off-site. Additionally, there is apotential for direct contact with or incidental ingestion of contaminated surface water, andcontact with sediments or off-site surface soils. The major public health concern is ingestion offish caught in the Niagara River or Lake Ontario that have bioaccumulated contaminants fromthe 102nd Street Landfill. However, there are inadequate data to assess the public healthsignificance of past, present and potential exposures to site contaminants in fish. ... [Read More]
ATSDR - PHA - Hooker-102nd Street, Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York
As indicated in Tables 6 and 7 , contaminated groundwater from the site is being discharged frombulkhead seeps and the 100th Street storm sewer into the Niagara River. River sediments havebeen contaminated from these discharges ( Tables 9 and 10 ). There are no known analytical dataon the Niagara River water near 102nd Street Landfill. The contaminant concentrations in thegroundwater, bulkhead seeps, and storm sewer discharges exceed the drinking water orgroundwater standards for many of the chemicals. These standards are primarily to ensure thatdrinking water is of acceptable quality. In this situation, this water is not used "as is" fordrinking water. The nearest public drinking water supply intake is about three miles downstreamof the site along the Niagara River. There is a stringent water monitoring program in place forthis supply, at the City of Niagara Falls Drinking Water Treatment Plant, in conjunction withanother site, the S-Area Landfill, thereby limiting the potential ...
