Abstract |
The Tabernacle Drum Dump (TDD) site is a one-acre facility located in Tabernacle Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Drum disposal activities, which resulted in contamination by hazardous substances, occurred on a 2,000 ft(sub 2) area portion of the site. Land use in the area consists mainly of woodland, bogs, agriculture, and recreation. The soils typically found in the area are highly permeable, sandy, and acidic. Approximately 75 to 100 residents live within a one-mile radius of the site. Most of the residents located down-gradient of the site depend on individual residential soils for potable and agricultural purposes. This decision document presents the selected remedial action for the Tabernacle Drum Dump site, developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and to the extent practicable, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, 40 CFR Part 300. Descriptions of selected remedies are given. |
