Superfund Site for Pollutant Manganese Found in Kentucky Avenue Well Field, Horseheads, Chemung, New York 14845
The pollutant Manganese has been found in Kentucky Avenue Well Field, Horseheads, Chemung, New York. New York State environmental authorities have established this Superfund to defer the cost of Manganese cleanup. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that Manganese is a hazardous material that has been known to cause serious health problems. The contamination of this site may include the groundwater, soil, or air, due to spills, leaching, or release of gases from hazardous materials.

Conditions at listing (July 1982): The Kentucky Avenue Well Field in Horseheads, New York, is part of the Elmira Water Board system, which supplies water to over 60,000 residents in Elmira, Elmira Heights, and Horseheads, New York. In September 1980, the well field was closed because it was contaminated with trichloroethylene. Private water wells believed to be in the same aquifer, including an industrial well serving Facet Enterprises, Inc., were also contaminated. The Elmira Water Board is using temporary alternative water supplies instead of the Kentucky Avenue Wells.
Four known disposal sites operated in the area in the 1940s and 1950s; the source of ground water contamination, however, is unclear. EPA detected metals, phthalates, and tetrachloroethylene in surface water upgradient of the well field.
Status (July 1983): EPA has conducted an initial evaluation of the need for remedial action at the site.
