| Abstract |
The Waldick Aerospace Devices (WAD) site is a 1.72-acre inactive industrial facility located in the Sea Girt Section of Wall Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey. The site consists of three buildings located on the northern, western and southern border. WAD was originally purchased and developed in the mid 1950's by Mr. Warren de Montmorency. The designated owner of the site since 1979 is KDD Realty Corporation of which Mr. de Montmorency is president. In 1979 the site was leased to Waldick Aerospace Devices, Inc. The firm manufactured and electroplated quick-release pins for the aerospace industry for five to six years. For at least the first three years of operations, waste water containing heavy metals and organic solvents was discharged directly onto the ground on either side of the southern corner of the main building. Additionally, spent machine oil was allowed to drain out of perforated drums onto the ground at the rear (western side) of the main building. In 1982, acting on information received from a former Waldick employee, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) conducted an inspection of the Waldick facility. |
