SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of January 2005
Sampling conducted by the Atlantic County Health Department in late 2003
identified five private potable wells in this area that were contaminated
with volatile organic compounds and mercury at levels exceeding New Jersey
Drinking Water Standards. The primary volatile organic contaminant was
trichloroethylene (TCE). NJDEP’s Environmental Claims Administration
has 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 other nearby private wells in 2004 and use the findings to delineate
the Currently Known Extent (CKE) of the potable well contamination and
evaluate long-term options to supply potable water to residents at the
site.
