SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
This site formerly operated as a gasoline service station and auto repair
shop. In 1994, high levels of xylene, a volatile organic compound that
is a component of gasoline, were detected in a private potable well at
a neighboring property. This well was later taken out of service. The
gas station owner performed a preliminary investigation that identified
extensive gasoline contamination in the subsurface soil at the property.
The gas station owner removed four of the eight underground gasoline storage
tanks in 1995 but did not address the contaminated soil or ground water.
Sampling of nearby private potable wells has not identified any additional
wells that are contaminated with volatile organic compounds at levels
exceeding New Jersey Drinking Water Standards. In 1998, 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 remedial alternatives. NJDEP implemented an Interim Remedial
Measure (IRM) in 2000 to excavate the remaining four tanks and 1,500 tons
of contaminated soil and backfill the excavations with clean soil. Sampling
conducted after the IRM revealed that gasoline was still present in the
subsurface soil and confirmed that the ground water at the site was highly
contaminated with volatile organic compounds. NJDEP plans to start the
ground water investigation phase of the RI/RAS in 2003.
