Elk Township Municipal Building Ground Water Contamination
Whig Lane Road
Elk Township, Gloucester County
PI #: G000061713
BLOCK: Various LOT: Various
Community Relations Coordinator: Mindy Mumford (609) 777-1976
SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
Routine sampling of public noncommunity supply wells by NJDEP’s Bureau
of Safe Drinking Water in 2000 revealed the potable well at the Elk Township
Municipal Building was contaminated with 1,2,3-trichloropropane at levels
exceeding New Jersey’s drinking water guideline for this compound. The
source of the contamination is unknown. NJDEP’s Remedial Response Element
conducted sampling during 2002 that identified 15 additional private potable
wells in the area that were contaminated with 1,2,3- trichloropropane
at levels exceeding the drinking water guideline. Point-of-Entry Treatment
(POET) systems were installed on the municipal building well and private
potable wells with funds provided by NJDEP to supply potable water for
the occupants. Due to the scattered locations of the contaminated wells,
NJDEP will continue to provide POET systems to residents as needed and
monitor selected wells to evaluate contaminant migration.
