Technical Report · Fri Sep 27 00:00:00 EDT 1985

OSTI ID:5743915

The Helen Kramer Landfill is located in Mantua Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey. The site encompasses a 66-acre refuse area and an 11-acre stressed area between the refuse and Edwards Run which is located immediately east of the landfill. The Helen Kramer Landfill site was originally operated as a sand and gravel pit. The site became an operating landfill between 1963 and 1965, during which time landfilling occurred simultaneously with sand excavation. In 1963, large volumes of wastes were deposited just north of the south ravine. Ponds of standing liquid were also located around the north ravine. Between 1963 and 1965, the fill was extended into the south ravine, and the north ravine was filled and graded. Very little is known about the landfill activities between 1965 and 1970. Throughout 1970 to 1981 it was alleged by area residents that sporadic chemical dumping continued.
