SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of January 2005
Sampling conducted by the Atlantic County Health Department in 2003
identified five private potable wells in this area that were contaminated
with dibromochloropropane, ethylene dibromide, dichloropropane and mercury
at levels exceeding New Jersey Drinking Water Standards. The source of
the contamination is unknown. NJDEP’s Environmental Claims Administration
installed Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) systems on the contaminated
wells to provide potable water for the residents while additional evaluation
of the site is underway. NJDEP's Remedial Response Element will sample
nearby private wells in 2004 and use the findings to delineate the Currently
Known Extent (CKE) of the potable well contamination to evaluate long-term
options to supply potable water to residents at the site.
