SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
This site is also known as the A&L Oil Mobil service station and
is owned by Red Horse Shoppes, Inc. In 1990, NJDEP was notified that the
soil at the service station and an on-site potable well and several off-site
private potable wells were contaminated with petroleum products. The likely
source of the contamination was identified as a leaking underground gasoline
storage tank at the service station. NJDEP’s Responsible Party Remediation
Element issued two directives requiring the gasoline retailer to investigate
the site and take immediate corrective action. A&L Oil removed four
underground fuel storage tanks but left the soil excavated during the
tank removal on site and did not delineate the ground water contamination.
In addition, A&L Oil did not comply with a 1993 NJDEP directive that
required the gasoline retailer to address nearby private potable wells
believed to be contaminated with gasoline-related volatile organic compounds.
In 1999, NJDEP’s Remedial Response Element began a Remedial Investigation
and Remedial Action Selection (RI/RAS) to delineate the contamination
in the soil and ground water and evaluate cleanup alternatives. Sampling
of nearby private potable wells conducted as part of the RI/RAS identified
one well that was contaminated with volatile organic compounds at levels
exceeding New Jersey Drinking Water Standards and a Point-of-Entry Treatment
(POET) system was installed at that property. NJDEP began the soil and
ground water sampling phase of the RI/RAS in 2001. Two deep monitor wells
that were installed as part of the ground water investigation phase have
been determined to be free of contamination.
