Abstract
The Goose Farm site is located approximately two miles northeast of the Town of New Egypt in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The Goose Farm was used as a hazardous waste disposal site from the mid 1940's to the mid 1970's by a manufacturer of polysulfide rubber and solid rocket fuel propellant. The majority of wastes were dumped into a pit dug through the fine sand. The dimensions of the pit were approximately 100 x 300 x 15 feet. Lab packs, 55 gallon drums, and bulk liquids were dumped into the pit. Investigations have found contaminated soils containing volatile, acid and base/neutral organic pollutants throughout the disposal area. In addition, sampling shows contamination of ground water up to 570 ppm total priority pollutants and contamination of the surface water up to 1100 ppb total volatile organics. The recommended remedial alternative for this site is expected to be implemented in a phased manner.
