Technical Report · Mon Apr 10 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7246462

The Goose Farm National Priorities List Site is located in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. Both solid and liquid wastes in bulk, 55-gallon drums, 5-gallon pails, and lab packs were disposed at the site in a 15-foot deep pit from the mid-1940s to the mid-1970s. On-site and off-site media are contaminated with a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, acid/base neutral compounds, and semi-volatile compounds. Environmental media that have been contaminated are surface water, ground water, and subsurface soils. On-site soil, contaminated with PCBs above 5 parts per million, is currently being excavated and disposed in an approved off-site facility. The selected remedial alternative should reduce the potential for further off-site migration of contaminants. Over time, the remediation should mitigate the contamination at the Goose Farm Site, thus protecting the health of the human population in the area.
