Health assessment for Woodland Route 532 Dump, Woodland Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJD980505887. Preliminary report

Technical Report · Tue Nov 15 00:00:00 EST 1988

OSTI ID:7147787

The Woodland Route 532 Dump site is on the National Priorities List. The 35-acre facility was used by several chemical manufacturers in the 1950s and early 1960s for open burning, dumping, and burial of drummed chemical wastes. On-site contamination consists of pentachlorophenol (182 ppb) in ground water. Although air sampling has not been conducted, it was reported that levels of chemicals in the air were judged by investigators to pose a respiratory hazard during site-invasive sampling procedures. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via contact with surface materials on-site.
