SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
Leaking underground fuel oil tanks contaminated the tidal saline aquifer
beneath this residential property. In 1990, NJDEP's Remedial Response
Element began delineating the contamination and installed a free-product
recovery system to capture a layer of fuel oil that was floating on the
water table. The system successfully collected approximately one gallon
of fuel oil per week for several years and was decommissioned in 1994
after recovery fell off to a minimal amount. However, significant quantities
of fuel oil product were again observed in recovery wells at the site
in 1997 and NJDEP reinstalled the free- product recovery system and resumed
collection of fuel oil from the aquifer. In 1999, NJDEP closed 15 residential
underground heating oil tanks in the area that were either abandoned or
potential sources of contamination to the ground water. NJDEP has installed
additional ground water monitor wells near the site and is sampling the
wells to evaluate the effectiveness of the remedial actions. Operation
and maintenance (O&M) of the free-product recovery system are ongoing.
