Abstract |
The 220-acre Kin-Buc Landfill consists of a number of inactive industrial and municipal waste disposal areas and is located in the Raritan River 100-year flood plain and within a coastal zone in Edison Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Landfill operations were conducted between 1947 and 1977. Examples of wastes received include solvents, waste oils, paint sludges, cyanides, metal stripping waste and paint thinners. The selected remedial action for this site includes: installation of a slurry wall surrounding the site; RCRA capping over Kin-Buc II, a portion of the low-lying area between Kin-Buc I and the Edison Landfill, and Pool C; maintenance and upgrading, if necessary, of the Kin-Buc I cap; collection of approximately 3 million gallons of oily-phase leachate with offsite incineration and residual disposal; collection and onsite biological or carbon treatment of aqueous-phase leachate and contaminated ground water with discharge either to surface water or POTW, and dewatering of residual sludges and offsite disposal; ground water monitoring; and O&M. |
