Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 2): Scientific Chemical Processing site, Carlstadt, Bergen County, NJ. (First remedial action), September 1990

Technical Report · Fri Sep 14 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5201628

The 6-acre Scientific Chemical Processing site is a former chemical handling, treatment, and disposal facility in Carlstadt, Bergen County, New Jersey. The site is underlain by a system of three aquifers, all of which have been contaminated by the site. The Record of Decision (ROD) outlines an interim remedy for source control and management of contaminant migration while further study is conducted to find a suitable treatment technology for the onsite wastes. Future RODs will address final source and ground water remedial activities. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, phenols, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; organics including PAHs, PCBs, and pesticides; metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead; and other inorganics.
