Health assessment for Fort Dix Sanitary Landfill, Pemberton Township, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJ2210020275. Preliminary report
The 113-acre Fort Dix Sanitary Landfill is located in the southwest section of the U.S. Army Fort Dix Military Reservation near Pemberton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. The Fort Dix Sanitary Landfill was in operation from 1950 until official closing on July 6, 1984. Soil, sediment, surface water, air, and groundwater samples were taken. Analyses of these samples show no contamination of public health concern in the air or soil at the landfill. Sediment and surface-water samples taken show no contamination of public health concern. No contaminants of public health concern were shown in the swamp sediment. No subsurface soil samples were taken in the landfill because of the explosive hazard associated with that type of operation at this site. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ingestion of surface water, biota, and ground water, and inhalation or direct dermal contact with surface water and ground water.
