January 24, 2008 - The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Health will hold a public meeting from 6:30 to 9 p.m. today at Ithaca Town Hall to discuss the progress of ongoing environmental investigations into contamination at different South Hill locations.
The sites under investigation are Emerson Power Transmission on South Aurora Street, the South Hill Business Campus, located across the street from Ithaca College, and the NCR Sewer. The sewer runs along the Emerson site and down South Aurora Street to Columbia Street and Turner Place.
According to a fact sheet prepared by the DEC and mailed to many South Hill residents in November, a series of tests performed in and around the Emerson plant in the late 1980s revealed high levels of tricholoroethene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds in the groundwater.
