Abstract |
The Vineland Chemical site is in Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey. The site is in a residential/industrial area and borders the Blackwater Branch stream a tributary to the Maurice River, which ultimately flows into Union Lake. The Vineland facility consists of several herbicide manufacturing and storage facilities, a wastewater treatment facility, and several lagoons. The facility produces approximately 1,107 tons of herbicide waste by-product salts, EPA hazardous waste number K 031, each year which were stored onsite in uncontrolled piles on the soil, in the unlined lagoons, and in abandoned chicken coops. The site has been divided into four discrete operable units to facilitate remediation. The selected remedial actions for the site will be implemented in four discrete operable units (OUs). OU 1, the plant site source control, will include in situ flushing of 126,000 cubic yards of arsenic-contaminated soil; decontaminating onsite storage buildings (chicken coops); and closing two impoundments followed by offsite treatment and disposal of the wastewater and sludge. |
