108 LAKE DENMARK ROAD

Radiation Technology, Inc. (RTI) is a 263-acre site located close to Lake Denmark in Rockaway Township, New Jersey. Prior to 1972, activities at the site included the testing and development of rocket motors and propellants. Since 1972, operations on the site included radiation sterilization, production of architectural products, and production and finishing of hardwood flooring. Beginning in 1980, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the Rockaway Township Health Department conducted numerous inspections of the site. These inspections revealed that the company improperly stored and disposed of waste drums containing solvents and other organic chemicals. In 1981, the Rockaway Township Health Department sampled two RTI water-supply wells. Results indicated that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) had contaminated the ground water supplying these wells. They subsequently were condemned by the New Jersey Department of Health and the NJDEP and were closed. The area is dependent upon ground water for drinking supplies. The surrounding area is generally residential and light industrial. The site is located northeast of the U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal facility, which also is on the National Priorities List. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal and a potentially responsible party's actions.
