Summary

Raynor & D'Andrea Funeral Service, Inc., has an on-site septic system which received embalming fluids until March, 2006, when the facility implemented the medical waste box/waterless aspirator. The facility remediated the sanitary system in the summer of 2004. This remediation was in response to a letter, dated April, 2004, from the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS), citing unpermitted discharges of industrial waste. The SCDHS approved the remediation of the facility’s sanitary system, documented in a letter to the funeral home, dated September, 2004. Following remediation, embalming waste fluids continued to be injected. At the time of the EPA inspection, on August 2, 2007, the facility had not sampled the septic system to determine whether new contamination was deposited between September, 2004 and March, 2006. Initial sampling and analysis results, from 2008, indicate that contaminants are below soil cleanup objectives or below method detection limits. EPA, therefore, is not requiring well remediation; however, EPA is requiring that Respondent pump out the facility’s septic tank and provide documentation that all floor drains in the prep room have been sealed.
