Program to clean up Long Island City warehouse
Sound-and-lighting warehouse to go through environmental cleanup
BY MAX PARROTT
The Slate Property Group,
the purchasers of the building
that houses sound-andlighting
equipment company
See Factor, have submitted a
Brownfield Cleanup Program
application with the state
Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC), and are
looking for public comment.
The developer purchased
the site at 37-11 30th Street
from the estate of Bob See in
May 2018 for $33.27 million.
Now the real estate group
is using the BCP to clean up
possible contamination from
the property and facilitate
its redevelopment.
The historical use of
the site that is suspected
to have contributed to the
contamination includes
a garage and plastics
manufacturer, in addition
to the aforementioned See
Factor. But based on the
findings of an investigation
on the property, the process
is not cause for alarm for
neighborhood residents. The
NYSDEC has determined
that the site does not pose a
significant threat to public
health or environment.
The draft of the remedial
action work plan for the site
consists of the excavation
and offsite dumping of
historic soil, excavation of
hazardous waste, removal
of underground storage
tanks, analysis of soil
samples and backfilling the
affected areas.
NYSDEC will accept
written comments about the
proposed plan until June 29
and revise the cleanup plan as
necessary. The plan is publicly
available at the Queens
Library at Long Island City, 37-
44 21st Street, and the Queens
Community Board 1 office at
45-02 Ditmars Blvd.
The public should send
their comments to Hasan
Ahmed, the DEC project
manager, at 47-40 21st St., Long
Island City, NY 11101; to hasan.
ahmed@dec.ny.gov; or call
718-482-6505.
