SITE DESCRIPTION/RESOLUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS:
As
of 28 June 2004
Sampling conducted by the Cape May County Health Department and NJDEP
between 1999 and 2002 identified 11 private potable wells in this area
that were contaminated with volatile organic compounds at levels exceeding
New Jersey Drinking Water Standards. The primary contaminants were trichloroethylene
(TCE), tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene, or PCE),
methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and styrene. The source of the contamination
is unknown. Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) systems were installed on
the wells with funds provided by NJDEP as an interim measure to supply
potable water for the residents. NJDEP’s Remedial Response Element plans
to delineate the Currently Known Extent (CKE) of the potable well contamination
and evaluate long-term water supply alternatives for the area in 2003.
