Ildefonso Acosta EPA Region 2 NPL Coordinator Dear Mr. Acosta: I am writing in support of adding the Dewey Loeffel toxic waste site to the Federal Superfund National Priorities List. The site is one of the largest in the state with 46,000 tons of toxic waste. There is significant off-site contamination of private drinking water wells and Nassau Lake. I am especially concerned about the people who unknowingly eat the PCB-polluted fish in Nassau Lake and its tributaries, as many people are unaware of the state fish advisory warning. I am also concerned about the residents whose wells are polluted from the toxic groundwater plume. The residents of Nassau need a health-protective cleanup of the site and the off-site contamination. I strongly support adding the site to the Federal Superfund. I lived in Nassau for 45 years, and my niece lived on Nassau Lake for 5 years. I also have many friends who live in the area. We deserve to live without the fear of our environment attacking our health! I used to drive by Nassau Lake every day, and I would see people who had taken the bus from Albany to fish in the Lake. The locals knew not to eat the fish, but I doubt that outsiders were aware of the PCB's. I wonder if they ate the fish, and I wonder if they are still alive. It's a scary thought. Thank you for considering my comments.
