SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
Sampling conducted by the local health department and NJDEP’s Remedial
Response Element between 1988 and 1998 identified 19 private potable wells
in this area that were contaminated with volatile organic compounds at
levels exceeding New Jersey Drinking Water Standards. The primary contaminants
were dichloroethylene (DCE) and trichloroethane (TCA). Point-of-Entry
Treatment (POET) systems were installed on the wells with funds provided
by NJDEP to supply potable water for the residents. The Remedial Response
Element completed a water supply alternative analysis in 1990 that concluded
the most cost-effective long-term remedy was the continued use of POET
systems at the affected homes. Additional investigative work is underway
to identify possible sources of the ground water contamination at this
site.
