901-999 CRANBURY SOUTH RIVER ROAD

The Jones Industrial Services (JIS) Landfill site is located in South Brunswick Township, near the border of Monroe Township. The JIS Landfill site covers approximately 24 acres, which includes a 7.8 acre landfill and a waste transfer operation. Landfilling operations began in 1956 within a former borrow pit. Excavated material from the borrow pit provided fill needed for the construction of the New Jersey Turnpike. From 1960 through the early 1970's, the JIS Landfill accepted chemical, municipal and industrial wastes, including broken battery casings, paint sludges, solvents and pesticides. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of waste were disposed of annually until landfilling operations ceased in 1980. JIS placed a cap over the northern half of the landfill in 1983. The southern half of the landfill was capped in 1985. Ground-water sampling revealed that private wells on nine properties downgradient of the site were contaminated. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal, State and private party actions.
