Public health assessment for A. O. Polymer, Sparta Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, Region 2. Cerclis No. NJD030253355. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:231176
The A.O. Polymer site is an inactive resin and plasticizer manufacturing plant, approximately four acres in size, located at 44 Station Road in the Township of Sparta, Sussex County, New Jersey. Volatile organic compounds have been detected at levels of public health concern in on-site soils and groundwater. In 1991, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) assumed the site from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). A Record of Decision (ROD) was signed by the USEPA on June 28, 1991, detailing the final remedy for remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. Activities described in the ROD include the treatment of the contaminated groundwater and remediation of the on-site subsurface soil, the source of groundwater contamination. Based on current site data and information, the NJDOH and the ATSDR consider the A.O. Polymer site to currently present no apparent public health hazard as site conditions have changed due to numerous removal actions, and on-going treatment of residual soil contamination between 10 to 20 feet below the former disposal lagoons with a vapor extraction system.
