MONMOUTH ROAD (ROUTE 537)

Kauffman & Minteer, Inc. operated a waste transportation business at this 5-acre site. Company-owned tanker trucks transported bulk liquids, including synthetic organic chemicals, plastics, resins, vegetable oils, petroleum oils, and alcohols from the site. From 1960 to 1980, the company discharged wastewater used to clean the inside of its trucks into a drainage ditch and an unlined lagoon on-site. The wastewater contained hazardous substances. In 1984, a dike that surrounded the lagoon broke, allowing wastewater to migrate off-site to a neighboring property and into wetlands. Discharges from the lagoon and the washing areas have contaminated shallow groundwater beneath the site and threaten the Wenonah-Mount Laurel (intermediate) aquifer, a major source of potable water in the vicinity of the site. Approximately 600 people live within three miles of the site and obtain their drinking water from private wells. The closest home is 500 feet from the former lagoon. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal and State actions.
