OSTI ID:5267710

The 5,000-acre FAA Technical Center site is 8 miles northwest of Atlantic City, in Atlantic County, New Jersey. The site is comprised of several installations including the Atlantic City International Air Terminal, the Upper Atlantic City Reservoir, and the facilities of the FAA Technical Center. A salvage yard (Area 20A), located southeast of the Atlantic City International Terminal, has been used for storing old aircraft parts, automobiles, scrap metal, and empty 55-gallon drums. Soil contamination of Area 20A by PCBs and VOCs has resulted from leaking and deteriorating drums that have been stored onsite. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including TCE and toluene; other organics including PCBs; and metals including chromium. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses soil and ground water contamination.
