Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 2): Naval Air Engineering Center, (Operable Unit 2), Lakehurst, NJ. (Second remedial action), February 1991

Technical Report · Mon Feb 04 04:00:00 EST 1991

OSTI ID:7114868

The 7,400-acre Naval Air Engineering Center (NAEC) site is an active air base in Jackson and Manchester Townships, Ocean County, New Jersey. Activities conducted onsite include program research, engineering, developmental testing and evaluation, and various warfare support services. Land use in the area includes residential, woodland, vast wetlands, and associated floodplain areas. From 1916 to 1919, the Eddystone Chemical Company conducted chemical artillery testing onsite. In 1921, the U.S. Navy took control of the site and conducted operations involving the use, handling, storage, and onsite disposal of hazardous substances in various buildings. The Record of Decision provides an interim remedy for the first operable unit (OU1), the ground water contamination in Area H, site 32. The focus of the OU is ground water, although some treatment of soil may occur. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including PCE; other organics; and metals including lead. The selected remedial action for the site includes pumping and pretreating ground water to remove metals, soil, and residual amounts of free product, followed by offsite disposal of solids and onsite treatment using air stripping and vapor phase carbon adsorption to remove VOCs.
