In August 2000, NJDEP removed five underground gasoline storage tanks and 1,200 tons of gasoline-contaminated soil from this abandoned gas station. After the heavily contaminated soil was removed, NJDEP backfilled the excavated area with clean fill and covered the site with stone. NJDEP plans to begin an investigation of the ground water at the site in 2001. Sampling of nearby private potable wells by the Cape May County Health Department and NJDEP has not identified any wells with contamination exceeding New Jersey Drinking Water Standards. For further information about this site, please see the site description.
