| Abstract | The 40-acre Chemsol site is a former solvent recovery and waste reprocessing facility in Piscataway Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Land use in the area is predominantly commercial and residential, with an onsite marshy area that may be considered a wetlands. The site overlies a bedrock aquifer that is used as a regional drinking water source. Between 1980 and 1990, sampling of residential wells indicated the presence of organic contaminants and PCBs. The Record of Decision (ROD) provides an interim remedy to restrict the offsite migration of highly contaminated ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including benzene, toluene, and xylenes; other organics including pesticides and phenols; and metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for this interim remedy includes installing a ground water collection trench; installing three ground water extraction wells to a depth of 130 feet; constructing an onsite treatment plant and treating contaminated ground water using air stripping, biological filtration, and activated carbon adsorption. |
