SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
This site operated as a gasoline service station for approximately 18
years, until 1983. It is now abandoned. In 2000, the Atlantic County Health
Department determined that the private potable well at a residence adjacent
to the gas station was contaminated with benzene and dichloroethane (DCA)
at levels exceeding the New Jersey Drinking Water Standards for these
volatile organic compounds. A Point-of-Entry treatment (POET) system was
installed on the well with funds provided by NJDEP to supply potable water
for the resident. Sampling of potable wells at 10 nearby residences did
not identify any others that were contaminated above Drinking Water Standards.
NJDEP's Responsible Party Remediation Element issued a directive to the
site owner that required removal of the four underground gasoline storage
tanks and subsurface contaminated soils, but the owner did not comply.
NJDEP's Remedial Response Element removed the four tanks and 740 tons
of contaminated soil in 2001 using public funds and is periodically sampling
private potable wells in the area to monitor ground water quality.
