  • South Fork Wind has sampled soil for PFAS compounds within the cable corridor.  As shown in the charts and tables, every soil sample has found levels below NYSDEC’s unrestricted guidelines of 0.88 parts per billion (ppb) for PFOS and 0.66 ppb for PFOA, which are NYSDEC’s most stringent parameters.  As also shown in the chart, the only constituent in SFW’s soil samples that exceeded NYSDEC’s criteria was iron, which is a metal that occurs naturally in Long Island soils.
