Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 2): Chemical Insecticide, Middlesex County, NJ. (First Remedial Action), September 1989
The Chemical Insecticide site is part of a 94-acre industrial development in Edison, Middlesex County, New Jersey. From 1958 to 1970 Chemical Insecticide Corporation (CIC) produced and stored pesticide formulations at the property resulting in soil, surface water, and ground water contamination. Between 1966 and 1969 CIC was ordered by the city to close onsite lagoons, dispose of leaking drums, and stop wastewater discharge. Subsequent RI/FS investigations revealed the extreme complexity of the site due to the number and variety of contaminants (herbicides, pesticides, and metals) and the physical characteristics of the site. The primary contaminants of concern in the soil which may affect the surface water are organics including pesticides, and metals including arsenic. The selected remedial action for this site includes clearing and grading the site; covering the entire site with an impermeable surficial cap; constructing a surface water runoff diversion system; controlling the release of collected, uncontaminated surface water runoff from the site; and surface water monitoring.
