Introduced by M. of A. SALADINO -- read once and referred to the Commit-
  tee on Environmental Conservation

AN  ACT in relation to directing the department of environmental conser-
  vation to issue a report outlining a plan to hydraulically contain and
  remediate the Navy Grumman plume emanating of contaminants and  chemi-
  cals in the underground aquifer and drinking water of the southeastern
  portion of Nassau county

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The New York state department of environmental conservation
shall create and deliver to the state legislature a report detailing the
options of intercepting and remediating a groundwater plume  of  contam-
inants,  including  but  not  limited to PCE and TCE, emanating from the
former Naval Weapons Industrial Plant operated by the United States Navy
and the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation facilities in Bethpage,
town of Oyster Bay, county of Nassau.
  S 2. This report must focus on the utilization of  hydraulic  contain-
ment  and state of the art remediation practices to remove these contam-
inants without utilizing well head treatment, which is a measure of last
resort only. It must focus on how to accomplish this goal  in  a  timely
manner  so  as to stop the migration of the Navy Grumman plume before it
reaches the public water supply wells of the Massapequa  water  district
and  the South Farmingdale water district as well as the New York Ameri-
can Water Corporation wells. It must be designed  to  also  protect  the
natural  resources,  specifically  the  fresh water bodies, tributaries,
wetlands and the salt water natural resources of  the  Great  South  Bay
from these contaminants.
  S 3. This report shall estimate the cost, scope, and timetable of such
a  project  and  how the department of environmental conservation would,
along with enlisting the assistance of the New York State department  of
Law  and  the  United  States Department of Justice, enforce the law and
cause the United States Navy to pay for or reimburse the  costs  associ-
ated with this project.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
