WALLINGFORD WAY

The Ewan Property Site consists of 43 heavily wooded acres in Shamong Township. The Site is located within the Central Pine Barrens portion of the New Jersey Pinelands. The property is surrounded by forest, wetlands, agricultural land, and residential areas. Groundwater within one mile of the site is used for domestic water supply, and for agricultural irrigation. Several residential housing developments containing approximately several hundred single family homes are located within one mile of the site, all of which rely on private wells for potable water. An intermittent stream and extensive wetlands are located immediately adjacent to the Site. Site investigations revealed that during the early to mid-1970s, between 500 to 8,000 drums containing hazardous industrial wastes were emptied or buried on-Site in trenches and pits which were subsequently backfilled with soil. Soil and groundwater sampling indicated the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatiles, and metals in Site soils and groundwater. An extensive network of both on and off-site groundwater monitoring wells indicates that groundwater contamination has not migrated beyond the Site boundaries. Site activities are ongoing. The site is being addressed in 2 operable units. OU1 addresses the heavily and moderately contaminated soils, and OU2 addresses contaminated groundwater and moderately contaminated soils. The OU1 portion of the site was completed in 1995. The OU2 groundwater cleanup remedy is ongoing. Site Responsibility: This Site is being addressed through Federal, State and potentially responsible parties' (PRPs) actions.
