SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:As
of 28 June 2004
This gasoline service station is located at the intersection of Route
31 and Asbury-Anderson Road. In 2001, after learning that a nearby private
potable well was contaminated with the gasoline additive methyl tertiary-butyl
ether (MTBE), NJDEP directed the owner of Petro 31 to investigate the
service station for discharges and sample additional potable wells in
the area. The owner removed contaminated soil and leaking underground
storage tanks from the property and conducted sampling that revealed five
additional nearby private wells were contaminated with MTBE at levels
exceeding the New Jersey Drinking Water Standard for this compound. The
owner installed Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) systems on the contaminated
wells to supply potable water for the residents but did not monitor or
maintain the units. NJDEP’s Remedial Response Element will monitor and
maintain the POET systems and sample additional private potable wells
in the area to monitor ground water quality.
