Health assessment for Lang Property National Priorities List (NPL) site, Pemberton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJD980505382. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7147618

The Lang Property National Priorities List Site is located in Pemberton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Unauthorized disposal of hazardous wastes occurred on approximately two acres of the 40-acre site. The contaminant classes that were identified on the site are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (semi-VOCs), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, and metals. The contaminant classes of concern are PCBs, VOCs, and semi-VOCs for on-site ground water. VOCs is the contaminant class of concern for sediments and surface water. The on-site ground water is highly contaminated; at the maximum chemical concentrations detected, use of this water without treatment would pose a human health concern. The potential does exist for human exposure to ground water contaminants by ingestion, inhalation of volatilized VOCs from ground water, and dermal absorption. The surface soils are also highly contaminated and represent a current possible as well as future human health concern for trespassers, blueberry farm workers and harvesters, and construction and remedial workers.
