What does one ton (long) per cubic yard represent?

It represents the density of a material where one long ton (2240 pounds) is contained in one cubic yard of volume, commonly used for bulk materials.

Why convert from ton (long)/cubic yard to mg/L?

Converting allows translation from bulk material densities in imperial-based units to mass concentration units used for aqueous and chemical analyses.

Can ton (long)/cubic yard and mg/L be directly compared in all cases?

No, since ton (long)/cubic yard measures solids' bulk density and mg/L measures dissolved concentrations in liquids, direct comparison depends on context.
