Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 2): Cosden Chemical Coatings, City of Beverly, Burlington County, NJ. (First remedial action), September 1992. Final report

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

OSTI ID:5853634

The 6.7-acre Cosden Chemical Coatings site is a paint formulation and manufacturing facility in Beverly, Burlington County, New Jersey. Land use in the area is predominantly residential, with some light industry. Until 1974, organic solvents used in the manufacturing process were recycled; thereafter, drums containing spent solvents were stored onsite. In 1986, the state undertook emergency removal of the drummed material and clean-up of surface spills around the drum storage areas. The ROD addresses the final remedy for the cleanup of contaminated soil, ground water contamination in the underlying aquifer, and the Cosden building. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs, including benzene, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; and other organics. The selected remedial action for this site includes treating 8,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil onsite using in-situ solidification, and disposing of a small pile of concentrated PCB-contaminated soil offsite; and disposing of sludge generated during the treatment process offsite.
