#10 South Fork Wind Tests to AVOID detecting PFAS contaminat

Avg. depth of soil bores wells (inches): 19A = 10, 19B = 3, & 20A = 3.

Total excavation depth is approx. 96 inches

#13 South Fork Wind Tests to AVOID detecting PFAS

South Fork Wind tested the soil along its construction

corridor only near the surface to avoid PFAS contamination.

#14 South Fork Wind Tests Shallow Surface only

South Fork Wind has concealed soil test results for “PFAS samples [taken]

[…] directly above the groundwater table”  (see HWPWP, Apr 2021).

#15 South Fork Wind avoids testing a site of reported PFAS c

South Fork Wind was required to test the site of a house fire

where firefighting foam was used.  Still, no one has seen any PFAS test results.

#17 Airport PFAS contamination = 8,388 ppt

Total PFAS contamination at Airport Well EH-19A = 8,388 ppt.

It exceeds the Michigan plume. South Fork Wind is upgradient within 1,000 feet.

#18 Town conceals full nature and extent of PFAS plume.

The Town was first notified of suspected PFAS contamination at the Airport in June 2016.

Still, after nearly six years, no one has seen a heat map of the PFAS contamination plume.

Slides #19-20 - Groundwater levels not taken into account.

PFAS Contamination moves with the groundwater level.

The groundwater level north of Wainscott Pond fluctuates 5 feet.

PFAS Contamination moves with the groundwater level.

The groundwater level at East Hampton Airport fluctuates 8.1 feet.

#21 PFAS travels with groundwater.

PFAS contamination travels with groundwater, which rises and falls from 5 to 8 feet.

South Fork Wind has not tested the lower levels of its planned excavation for PFAS contamination.

#22 PFAS adsorbs into South Fork Wind's concrete duct banks

PFAS contamination in groundwater will adsorb into South Fork Wind's concrete duct banks & vaults.

South Fork Wind's underground infrastructure will prolong and exacerbate the PFAS contamination.

Slides #34-38 - Airport Superfund Citizen Participation Plan

The New York State DEC approved the Citizen Participation Plan in July 2020.

The Town is legally required to implement the plan "as early as possible" (see ECL §27-1417).

The appendices were amended in August 2020 to include additional contact names and addresses a month after the Citizens' Participation Plan was first approved.

Since the Citizens' Participation Plan was first approved nearly 2 years ago, the Town has changed only the name of the plan (in August 2021) to the Public Participation Plan.

The Town is almost one year into the Airport Remediation Investigation/Work Plan.  Regardless, the Town has not

implemented the Citizen Participation Plan.

According to NYS Environmental Conservation Law, the Town is supposed to "encourage citizen involvement [...] as early as possible [and] disclosure and sharing of information[.]"

#22 PFAS adsorbs into South Fork Wind's concrete duct banks

Empire Wind I is landing at the Gowanus Substation next to the Gowanus Canel Superfund Site.  Unlike East Hampton Airport, the Gowanus Canal site is being redeveloped.  Nearby, the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal is also being developed.

"Superfund cleanups provide health and economic benefits [...]  research has shown residential property values increase up

to 24 percent within three miles of the site after cleanup. "
