Technical Report · Mon Oct 03 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:7255948

The Pijak Farm Site is a National Priorities List site located approximately 2 miles northeast of the Town of New Egypt, 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 Thiokol Corporation, were dumped into a natural ditch along the edge of a field and covered with soil. In addition, dumping took place in several areas adjacent to wooded and low-lying areas. The soil contaminants on-site included metals, phenolics, solvents, and polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs). Although the contamination is apparently not site-related, these wells should be reevaluated and if mercury contamination is confirmed, then actions to remove it should be developed and implemented.
