The Original Consent Decree that was entered in 1996 involves the Cortese Landfill Superfund Site, located in the Town of Tusten, Sullivan County, New York. The Amendment to the Consent Decree modifies the Original Consent Decree to require implementation of a modified remedy that the United States Environmental Protection Agency has selected for the Site. In the course of the performance of the original remedy, two additional sources of contamination were discovered beneath a former drum disposal areas at the Site, which required the selection of an additional response action to address this newly identified source-area contamination. Accordingly, EPA modified the original remedy to provide for air sparging/soil vapor extraction and amendment addition (i.e., injection of soil amendment into the subsurface), subsequent application of in-situ chemical oxidation, if necessary, to address the sources of contamination beneath the former drum disposal areas, and monitored natural attenuation to address the groundwater downgradient from the landfill perimeter.
