 Gruner Recommended Decision - October 29, 1998
The evidence of chlorobenzene in a ground water monitoring well down gradient from the Applicant's surface impoundments raises concern that the impoundments no longer are demonstrated to have "no significant adverse impact on public health, safety or welfare, the environment or natural resources" as required by 6 NYCRR §364.4(b)(2).
Even now, with chlorobenzene in the ground water, the existence of a "threat" to public health or the environment is questionable since the nearest drinking water well is a distance away and the chlorobenzene has apparently not migrated very far.
I recommend that the renewal be denied as to those impoundments containing chlorobenzene and be granted as to impoundments where chlorobenzene is not present or is present in negligible amounts.

Effect of chlorobenzene treatment of the low-severity liquification of coals
