Technical Report · Wed Sep 30 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:5853619

The 36-acre Ellis Property site is located in Evesham Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Land use in the area immediately surrounding the site is primarily agricultural, and approximately 60 residences are located within 1 mile of the site. From 1968 to 1978, approximately 4 acres of the property were used to store and recondition drums. Site features included a two-story building, with several washing tanks and troughs, three sheds, a storage area, and a boiler. State investigations in 1980 identified stained soil, areas devoid of vegetation, and hundreds of drums containing various unknown liquids, some of which had corroded and were leaking into the onsite soil. The ROD addresses a final remedy for the remaining contaminated soil and ground water at the site. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs, including PCE and TCE; other organics, including PCBs; and metals, including arsenic, chromium, and lead. The selected remedial action for this site includes excavating all contaminated soil, and treating metal-contaminated soil onsite or offsite using stabilization if necessary, prior to offsite disposal in a landfill.
