WILDCAT & MAPLE ROADS

The Metaltec/Aerosystems site is located on a 15 1/2-acre property in a rural residential area. It is the location of a former manufacturing facility that produced a variety of metal products. In 1980, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) began sampling the facility's wastewater lagoon and surrounding soil as part of a site inspection. Results revealed the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals. These contaminants leached from the lagoon into surrounding groundwater, and upon sampling residential wells, the State found VOCs at levels above Federal standards for drinking water. The Franklin Water Supply Well and contaminated private wells were closed in 1980, and affected residents were connected to the Borough's primary water supply. The site lies in a valley drained by a small unnamed stream that flows into Wildcat Brook, a tributary of the Walkill River. Franklin Pond lies 3/4 mile northeast of the site. The now-closed Franklin Water Supply Well, which served as a secondary water supply source, is about 400 feet east of the property. Approximately 4,000 people live within 3 miles of the site. Local surface water is used for recreation, fishing, and swimming. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal actions
