Abstract
The 120-acre Montclair/West Ora nge Radium site is comprised of 239 residential properties in the Town of Montclair and 127 residential properties in the Town of West Orange, Essex County, NJ. The site is located in proximity to the Glen Ridge Radium, Superfund site. In the early 1900s, a radium processing or utilization facility was located near the site. It is suspected that radioactive waste material from the facility was disposed of in then rural areas within the community. EPA investigations in 1981 and 1983, confirmed the presence of gamma radiation contamination in the Glen Ridge area and in several adjacent houses. Subsequently, EPA established an air quality monitoring program to determine the levels of radon decay products in the contaminated houses. The ROD also addresses contaminated onsite soil, and is a final source control remedy. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil are radioactive materials, especially radium-2 and metals including lead.
