2121 ROUTE 35

The Waldick Aerospace Devices site, approximately 1 1/2 acres in size, is a former industrial facility located at 2121 Highway 35 in the Sea Girt section of Wall Township. From 1979 until about 1984, Waldick Aerospace Devices, Inc. leased this property for the manufacture and plating of metal components for the aerospace industry. In 1982, State and County inspectors found that various degreasing, dip, rinse and plating tanks, as well as a polishing machine were discharging wastewater directly onto the ground. Used machine oil had also been discharged onto the ground. Sampling revealed that the wastes contained heavy metals, acids, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil and ground water, as well as two buildings were contaminated by Waldick. A third building never used by the Waldick firm had been used for several retail operations. About 41,000 people live within a 3-mile radius of the site. The nearest residence is approximately 100 yards west of the site. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal actions.
