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

It represents a density unit quantifying the mass of one long ton (2240 pounds) distributed over one cubic yard of volume.

When is nanogram per liter [ng/L] used?

Nanogram per liter is used to measure ultra-trace amounts of a substance per unit volume, typically in environmental, clinical, and biochemical contexts.

Why is there such a large number difference in conversion?

Because ton (long)/cubic yard measures bulk material density, and ng/L is a very small mass concentration unit, their scales differ by many orders of magnitude.
