Technical Report · Thu Apr 06 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7255945

The Spence Farm Site (Spence) is a National Priorities List site located in Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. Certain areas of the farm served as disposal sites for a variety of industrial and domestic wastes. Industrial wastes, allegedly from Morton Thiokol Corporation, were dumped in scattered low-lying, wooded areas throughout the 30-acre site. The Record of Decision signed September 1984 mandated the removal and off-site disposal of all drums and lab packs, excavation and off-site disposal of visibly contaminated soil, construction of sediment controls during excavation and sampling efforts, and monitoring of on-site wells annually for 5 years. The removals have been completed. The site is of potential public health concern because of the potential risk to human health resulting from the possible exposure to hazardous substances via soil, sediment, ground water, surface water, air, and biota.
